Nokia Astound Demo at CTIA 2011 in HD

Mar. 28 News, Nokia no comments

Nokia is trying incredibly hard to get back on their feet in hopes their new device will astound consumers with a low pricing point. The Nokia Astound will be priced at $79.99 and be available in April. Although it will be running the Symbian OS, it comes with some powerful specs and features that come standard on any high-end smartphone including an 8 megapixel camera, 3.5-inch amoled display, and 8 GBs of internal memory with external microSD card support. I don’t know about you, but being able to get features that even the iPhone 4 can’t beat for less than half the price sounds pretty astounding to me.

T-Mobile LG G2X Hands-on at CTIA in HD

Mar. 28 Android, LG, News, T-Mobile no comments

LG and T-Mobile are making plenty of heads turn this year at CTIA. They’ve recently announced the availability of the G2x which comes with Android 2.3, a Tegra 2 Dual-core processor, and 4G compatibility. The new smartphone is identical to the LG Optimus 2x (both in specs and design), but comes back rebranded under T-Mobile with some increased capabilities. I’m sure you’ve heard of rumors about T-Mobile merging with AT&T, but any plans won’t effect the launch of this device or others for quite a while. The G2X is scheduled to be released later this spring and we expect it to cost around a couple hundred whenever it drops.

Sprint’s Drive First app, recently unveiled at CTIA, detects when your phone is in motion and will automatically send your incoming calls to voicemail in an effort to make sure you keep your eyes on the road. This new app will also block text-message alerts and even auto-respond to the message sender that the driver is currently unavailable. After 30 seconds of no motion, the app will automatically allow calls and texts again. Read more
