RebelSimCard the revolutionary mobile phone unlocking sim card to by-pass network locks and restrictions from mobile phones including the iPhone 3G along with hundreds of other brands and models like Nokia, HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, etc.The long-awaited BlackBerry Bold, or BlackBerry 9000, made its North American debut Thursday on Rogers Wireless in Canada. The Bold is a souped-up version of the BlackBerry Curve model, which has sold well in the U.S. on all four major carriers. This new and improved BlackBerry is supposed to have a superior screen resolution to the Curve and more memory. It also has Wi-Fi and operates over a 3G network, something the GSM version of the Curve does not do. Rogers, like AT&T and T-Mobile, which offer the Curve in the U.S., is a GSM carrier.

Growth was driven largely by the Asia-Pacific region, in which sales grew 20.5 percent from the second quarter of 2007, and the Middle East and Africa, where handset sales increased 18 percent.
In the United States and Canada, 6.5 percent year-over-year growth was driven largely by sales of replacement handsets, as new subscribers only trickled in, Gartner said. (Fellow research firm NPD Group, by contrast, reported earlier this month that U.S. mobile-phone sales were 13 percent down from the second quarter of 2007.)

HTC
made a few Treo devices in the past, like the Treo 650, but Inventec
has been the primary ODM for most of these newest devices. I saw the
HTC Task Manager on the Treo Pro, wondered about the new flush display
like that seen on the Touch Diamond, and also noticed that the bottom
soft keys have a touchable area that is quite large to make it easier
to activate the soft keys and wondered if HTC made this new device.
Chris Leckness at Mobility Site found a DigiTimes report that HTC is indeed the ODM for the Palm Treo Pro.
Ryan
Block is ending his role as editor-in-chief at Engadget to pursue a new
gadget site opportunity with long-time buddy Peter Rojas and I wish
them both the best of luck and look forward to seeing what they come up
with. As a fitting end to his role at Engadget, Ryan posted an update to his open letter to Palm that he posted last year. His 2007 letter
gave lots of unsolicited advice to Palm and CEO Ed Colligan even
responded to the letter. The sad news is that one year later there is
very little that shows Palm has changed much and it is tough to keep
pulling for the company and hoping they come out of it.Looking through
Ryan’s latest article, I have to agree with his comments on the new
Treo Pro and you will see this in my review next week. For a high end
device, available only at a US$549 unlocked price, the keyboard is a
step back to the low-end Centro line and the lack of Palm’s special
touches is disappointing.
My buddy Joel Evans from Geek.com
and I both waited in line for the original iPhone in 2007, but this
year Joel jumped on the new iPhone 3G at launch while I waited 3 weeks.
Actually, it was his positive experiences with the iPhone 3G that
tipped me over the edge to go get one at my local Apple store. I
already returned my iPhone 3G because I was experiencing too many
issues and didn’t think it was a compelling upgrade for someone with an
original iPhone. I just read that Joel also now feels that the iPhone 3G isn’t a necessary upgrade
if you already have an iPhone. It is a good device for those who want
an iPhone that don’t have the original one and for many people I do
agree.
