Asian suppliers to Apple Inc have begun manufacturing a lower-priced version of its hot-selling iPhone 4 with a smaller 8 gigabyte flash drive, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Not many would say Nokia and Apple were in the same league when it came to smartphones, but according to a new report from Strategy Analytics, data shows the Nokia N8 knocking the iPhone 4 from the top spot in terms of shelf space.

On Monday news broke that Apple had a big surprise in store for punters this coming weekend to mark its 10 year retail anniversary. With talk of black curtains, hardware locked in back rooms ready for installation and employees pulling all nighters, many have been speculating whether Apple has a brand new device up its fruity sleeve. Others, however, claim it could be nothing more (or less) than a brand new NFC payment system.

I switch smart phones like they're going out of style. Mostly because they are always going out of style. I've broken more carrier contracts and paid for more devices at full retail price than I care to admit. Last month, it all happened again. I'm one of those defectors who ditched their iPhones with AT&T Mobility and switched to Verizon Wireless.

SK Telecom will begin selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone on March 16, it announced Sunday, ending the exclusive distribution here by its rival KT Corp.

I did it again. I bought another iPhone. This time it's the same iPhone that I already own. Less exciting. Nothing new. Just the same old iPhone 4, but this time with Verizon Wireless. Instead of waiting in line for maybe 10 grueling hours to get my hands on Verizon's iPhone 4 today, I decided that having it in my hands before Mobile World Congress wasn't worth it, so I pre-ordered online.
The Meizu M9 could possibly be the most anticipated Android smartphone that isn't from a major manufacturer. Early dismissed as vaporware, Meizu continued its efforts to convince buyers that such a device was in fact coming to the market.The Meizu M9 could possibly be...

China Unicom, currently the only sales agent of iPhone 4 in the China market, plans to lock iPhone 4s to its SIM cards in a bid to prevent contract-bundled purchasers' reselling iPhone 4 at high...
It seems Samsung is thriving on the free colonial spirit with yet another phone giveaway to tempt punters away from the iPhone. Bell Canada announced this morning that it too would be doling out free phones – in this case the Android based Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant – to customers in advance of the August 6th Canadian launch date.
Samsung UK is giving out free Galaxy S smartphones to people who have publicly expressed their frustration with the new iPhone 4 on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
I find it sort of odd/funny/strange/befuddling that the latest flap with antennas and mobile devices as hyped by Apple and its iPhone 4 was “solved” by the grand puppeteer Steve Jobs by telling everyone having an issue to put a rubber band around their spankin' new device.
Antennagate be damned, Apple has done it again, with the firm managing to pull its best ever quarterly revenue results out of its sleek, shiny hat on Tuesday.
Nine months ago, Korea’s KT telecom made the iPhone available to Apple hungry customers and has dominated the Korean Apple pie since, being the only telco exclusively offering the product, giving the firm a huge business advantage and marketing edge, much like AT&T’s in the US. But is KT’s monopoly on Apple crumbling?
AT&T’s strained, outdated network and spotty coverage has long been a sore point for US iPhone users, with many calling for Apple to bring its popular phone to other carriers, thus giving users more of a choice. The rumor mill has even posited that the AT&T/Apple divorce could be no more than a year away, with a possible open relationship with Verizon Wireless happening well before that.
Not wanting to miss out on the hype, Nokia has decided to beam us over its thoughts on Apple’s antenna issues, admitting that while the way you grip your phone may affect signal strength, Nokia puts its phones through vigorous testing which should allow you to hold your phone however you want... but does it?
The holidays came early to my desk this week as by some stroke of genius and luck not one, but two brand new mobile devices landed in my lap. I should probably say in reality that it's more like 1.5 devices as they are both a version of Samsung's Galaxy S model, one from AT&T Mobility and one from T-Mobile USA.
