A new connect has come forward and provided us with some details on LG’s future phone plans that we thought we would share. According to our source, the LG enV Touch 2 that we heard about yesterday is actually to be called the enV G. Our source does confirm that the device has a hinged, dual touch-screen display and added that it will have a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. Our tipster continues, and lets us know that LG will be releasing a mid-range, Android 2.1, all touch-screen device around the holiday...

It seems as though the mobile phone stork delivered a set of twins to Engadget… smartphone twins that is. The blog was gifted with two Dell Thunder Android smartphone prototypes, and they’ve done the honor of shedding some light on just what we’re looking at. The Thunder will pack a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor with Qualcomm Adreno graphics (think Nexus One), 4.1-inch touch-screen display, 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, and (possibly) a front-facing VGA camera. ...

The folks over at Engadget were sent images (Mr. Blurrycam style) of the unannounced and unreleased Dell Thunder. The Thunder is reportedly an Android 2.1 full touch-screen device with a 4.1-inch screen (possibly OLED), 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 800 x 480 resolution, and a 1400 mAh battery. No details were given about the processor speed or internal storage of the newly photographed device. Hit the read link to check out a few more images and a quick video. (more…)

Dell might not currently be putting its best foot forward when it comes to smartphones, but man does it ever look to have plans when it comes to Windows Phone 7 and Android. Engadget was sent some slides of the Texas company’s Lightning, Flash and Thunder and do they ever strike our fancy. Just like nature, let’s start off with some Lightning. Running WP7, it is a vertical QWERTY slider with a 4.1″ WVGA AMOLED display, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, 802.11b/g/n, 8GB microSD card, 1GB ROM...

Things are starting to heat up in Verizon land and CDMA-hugging BlackBerry addicts just got one step closer to seeing the highly anticipated Storm become a reality. The FCC just posted fairly secretive approval documents for an unnamed handset from RIM. Oh you crafty government workers. A quick glance at the image above pretty much instantly eliminates all mystery – the button placement, the form factor, the SIM slot for when you need to get your international roaming on… Yes, it’s the Stor...

We don’t have too much info to go off of at this point in time, but if you are still waiting to get your hands on the Pearl Flip 8220, Curve 8900, Bold, or Storm, we’re about to screw you up real quick. We’ve now confirmed from 2 independent sources that RIM is working on a device that will blow the roof off all previous models. Ready for it? 5 megapixel auto-focus camera, 1GB of RAM so your precious worthless apps don’t cause memory leaks, and a “near-HD quality” screen. W...

While we wait for RIM’s ex-IDF teams to storm (har, har) the office, we’ve decided to share a ton of pages from the BlackBerry Storm’s User Guide with our loyal readers. It’s a lot more in depth than the PowerPoint was, and it walks you through practically everything. We posted what we thought were the most important parts of the device and things we haven’t seen before. For instance, the full home screen in both orientations, the active call screen, voice recording, camera and v...

Continuing our Stormness today, we’re breaking out these great internal marketing and product positioning points. What you’re going to see isn’t for the faint of heart — there’s a ton of data points in here. RIM even goes as far to compare the Storm (or Thunder as they referred to it internally) to the iPhone, Nokia N95, and LG Viewty. We’ve got full price points on where the Storm sits in between the other devices, and we even have a couple exclusives for you… How do...

It’s a beautiful day in New York City, but oh man… we can see those clouds eagerly approaching. We just got our hands on a ton of documents detailing both the BlackBerry Storm 9500 and BlackBerry Storm 9530. Bear with us as we comb through them, ok? In the meantime, check out some awesome slides from an internal powerpoint presentation. They detail every aspect of the device, from typing to phone calling, media syncing, to web browsing — we’re sure you’ll like them.Click on over ...

You definitely have to take this one at face value, but there’s an internal document floating around inside AT&T pitting the iPhone 3G against the upcoming BlackBerry Storm. We had our doubts about this document at first, but we received it from two independent sources now, so it’s legit! Here’s some of the smack-talking AT&T lays down:The Storm doesn’t have multi-touch There’s no Wi-FiThe Storm doesn’t have an App StoreStormy Storm doesn’t have tri-band HSDPA...

I’ll keep this short, but as most of you that are following the BlackBerry Storm developments over the past couple days know, Verizon has “introduced” the BlackBerry Storm internally. They even published a coming soon page complete with Storm image. The page was then removed today, coincidentally after every major site that mattered had linked to it and posted. Does anyone not see the scam being played out before our eyes? Introduction “internally” and then removing the coming so...

We told you it was coming (a day late but not a dollar short) and now it’s officially here! The Blackberry Storm has officially gone live on Verizon’s website for all to see in its glory. No other information about the handset. Just a pretty picture of the shiny, new touchscreen ‘Berry. But we’re still holding firm on our “about one week after November 1st” launch time frame, as told to us by multiple sources.Read

GlydeGuy over at Howard Forum leaked some Blackberry Storm Goodness. Remember, it’s the 15th today, kids. No pricing or release date but we can confirm that “click” touch interface, full HTML browser, 3.2MP camera, and a very high resolution screen. Take that AT&T with your eternally delayed Blackberry Bold. Now if we could just keep VZW from locking down the GPS, we’d have the epitome of perfection in a phone. Start the drooling now! Sadly there’s no Wi-Fi like we reported, ...
