Samsung announces first bada phone: Wave

In an scene reminiscent of the Davidoff’s cologne adverts, Samsung announced its first bada device; the Wave (aka S8500).

Nokia 7230 comes with Flickr and Facebook: all for £90 sim-free

While the N900 might be swallowing up the lion’s share of attention in Nokia’s world, the company is also making a moderate amount of noise about another future addition to its line-up.
The 7230 is due out in March 2010 and on the surface appears to be a fairly standard effort: it’s got a sliding form [...]
