Glofiish X610 and V900 by E-TEN

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 07:08:45 +0000

Announced back in February, the Glofiish X610 and V900 are finally nearing release (or so E-TEN claim).

V900 & X610

Whilst we know that the X610's specs aren't screaming out "I'm fantastic", it's a pretty good looking device with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. The more "I'm Fantastic" of these two is the V900, a device that can handle DVB-H, DVB-T, T-DMB, and DAB broadcasts on a VGA display that certainly doesn't hurt its case.

So far, the launches on these two are noted simply as "soon," so best keep your eyes open for further release details (or subscribe to our blog via RSS)

We have been promised a trial of these units soon so again watch out for our usual un boxing video's and detailed reviews.

Still, there’s a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, 128 MB Flash ROM and 64 MB SDRAM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi, FM radio, 2 megapixel camera and a GPS. Samsung’s SC3 2442 CPU at 400 MHz is providing all the processing power needed.

On the other hand, the Glofiish V900 is a mobile TV ready device. Aside from the DVB-T receiver, the stylish, 3G-enabled (triband UMTS/HSDPA) smartphone packs a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi, FM radio, 3 megapixel camera that can record videos at VGA resolution and a GPS.

Top Ten US Wireless Carriers

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:06:17 +0000

RCRWireless has compiled a list of the Top Ten US Wireless Carriers for 2Q 2008. There’s no big surprise here, with AT&T still leading Verizon as the top two US wireless carriers. But, the data is still interesting to look at.

We see that AT&T is still No. 1 in the rankings, but only just. Verizon added 200,000 more wireless subscribers in Q2 2008 than did AT&T. And, Verizon’s recent acquisition of Rural Cellular wasn’t factored in to Verizon’s customer-base because the deal was finalized after the close of Q2 2008. Of course, once Alltel is wholly absorbed into Verizon, we will see AT&T dropping down to the No. 2 spot as AT&T takes the lead.

Sprint saw its customer churn slowing in Q2 2008, with just 900,000 customers jumping ship, compared to the previous quarter’s loss of 1 million customers.

And, T-Mobile saw its customer churn jump from 2.6% to 2.7%, which they attribute to the expiration of the recently-introduced 2-year contracts.
