Neo hands-on with MWC lineup

by Sean Cooper Feb 18th 2009 @ 10:34AM

UK and Dubai-based neo is at MWC this week with a collection of handsets giving us a peek into the now and what the company plans for the future. We take a few minutes with neo's Senior VP, Amjad Ali as he walks us through the ins and out of the tiny 808i, the neo Ellipse, the neo Steel, neo Flip, and the up and coming neo 909. The Ellipse and the 909 are the standouts in the group, what with the really slick design of the Ellipse and the potential Androidness and maybe even 3G coming to the potential redesign of the 909. These sets all live in Asian markets now and that's well reflected in the pricing and features, but we're always enthused to see folks making a solid effort to bring something interesting to the lower-end market. Follow on for a gallery of the sets and a video hands-on interview.

Samsung's Steel bears no resemblance to the superhero of the same name

by Chris Ziegler May 28th 2008 @ 8:54PM


The Samsung Steel is a tricky phone. To casual observers, it's a Soul, Samsung's latest and greatest Ultra Edition device. In reality, though, it's a lower-end phone wearing the Soul's clothing. It doesn't move too far downmarket; the trick OLED d-pad is gone, but buyers still get HSDPA, a microSD slot, integrated DAB radio, and steel surfaces (hence the name, we figure) pretty much everywhere you look. This one should hit Vodafone next month for an as-yet-to-be-determined price.

Tag Heuer to partner with ModeLabs on luxury handset?

by Darren Murph Jan 2nd 2007 @ 11:40AM

It looks like the competition in the luxury phone market is heating up, as folks still trying to choose between Gresso, Vertu, GoldVish, the D&G RAZR, or the ridiculously pricey Black Diamond could see one more alternative in addition to the recently-unveiled LG Prada. According to Sybarites, Tag Heuer -- the folks responsible for Jeff Gordon and Tiger Woods' sumptuous wristwatches -- is teaming up with ModeLabs to introduce "a completely new phone" for deep-pocketed talkers. While details (including a sneak peek) are scant, the phone is "expected to be made of stainless steel and have many similarities to Tag watches," but it seems we'll just have to wait this one out before making any other far-reaching predictions.

Nokia's 8800 back in black

by Thomas Ricker Apr 20th 2006 @ 2:22PM

You know, we have to hand it to Nokia for keeping their luxury 8800 handset worthy since its launch over a year ago. Already available in original stainless steel, a limited Aston Martin Edition, with over-the-top gold plating, and even as a candybar-style knockoff -- she's now resurrected herself in Black stainless steel. And that £799/$1429 price tag makes this the most expensive version yet. You go old girl, you go.
