Live leaked images are typically something that come as a welcomed event, and in the case of the X800 from Philips the handset has a decent look but sadly that is where it stops. It simply does not have the specs to match the design as its missing some important support. The handset is missing something that many have just come to expect, especially considering it offers such a large (2.9-inch) touchscreen display. It is lacking support for WLAN, 3G and even EDGE. This handset was officially announced by Philips back in May, along with the Xenium X-Connect, but they have still not released any further information regarding pricing or availability.

CallerID has become something that, while not always accurate we have come to take for granted. As nice as a service that Skype has been, it has been more than a little annoying to send or receive a SkypeOut call and see “+0000123456” on the CallerID display. Now US based SkypeOut users will be able to configure their own number to display. Simply login to your Skype account and set the number by selecting Caller ID from the Account menu. You can set the number to reflect your personal cell number, which will send you an SMS message to confirm that you are not spoofing the ID display or if you already have a SkypeIn number that will be reflected by default.

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jun 8th 2008 at 6:34PM Someone clearly didn’t want Microsoft fans being left out at this time of extreme Apple coverage. In an interview with SFGate, Robbie Bach manages to deftly deny the rumored Xbox / Blu-Ray match-up, deny a Zune Phone is coming anytime soon (although he intimates Zune software may come to phones), but still cleverly suggests that a Zune Touch could be in the offing. Of course, by “cleverly suggest” we mean he mentions the possibility of a device with touch capabilities, which is like saying Dell might release a laptop with a keyboard. Is that device pictured above? No silly, that’s just someone’s Photoshop work. Steve Jobs — anything to say about this?[Via wmpo (Read the full post about ‘Robbie Bach says no Zune Phone, no Xbox Blu-Ray… maybe a touchscreen Zune’…)

The upcoming BlackBerry Thunder finally has a live shot, and while it does not cover all the internal specs, it does give us a good idea of what we have in store for us on the outside. Aside from the large touchscreen display, the Thunder has just about all the convenience (button-wise) as any current blackberry model. From the image we can see it has the standard send, end/power, menu and escape keys that you would expect. It also has a lock key in the upper left, a play/pause key on the upper right, as well as a left and right convenience key and external volume controls. It also clearly confirms that it will be headed to Verizon—at least initially. 3G iphone who? (Read the full post about ‘BlackBerry Thunder; live shot, confirmed headed to Verizon’…)

CNET UK reviews the Palm Centro and writes, “On the consumer front, there’s a basic 1.3-megapixel camera that doesn’t do anything spectacular. You can shoot pictures and video and send them to friends via Bluetooth, email or MMS. Palm hasn’t included an LED photo light or a xenon flash, which is unfortunate for those wishing to take pictures in less than sunny conditions.” Read more about the Palm Centro.

CNET UK reviews the Sony Ericsson W890i and writes, “One of our pet peeves about the W880i was that its 2-megapixel camera wasn’t fantastic. We’re glad to see a better, 3.2-megapixel snapper on the W890i. Sadly, this upgraded camera still doesn’t have a flash or LED photo light, so shots in low light don’t come out well…Its camera, however, isn’t substantial enough to replace your dedicated snapper. Without a flash or LED photo light, your best bet would be to stick to daylight pictures. There’s not an autofocus option either so close-up shots aren’t clear.” Read more about the Sony Ericsson W890. (Read the full post about ‘Sony Ericsson W890i Review - CNET UK’…)

If you’re tired of boring gray and black electronics this cute little butterfly will be a refreshing change. That is if you’re female, I doubt many guys would be overly pleased by a brightly colored butterfly webcam. Then again I’m sure there are at least a couple exceptions to that. The webcam easily attaches to the back of your laptop and peers over the top of it to catch a glimpse of you while you type away at whoever you may be broadcasting to.

While the FCC images usually keep most of the details tight and secure, this latest bit of information seems to be holding a little more than usual. We have here what we can only guess is the successor to the Shadow, which is officially known as the HTC CONV100 and will hit the market as the Shadow II. While the details are light, it looks like the Shadow II will offer up a nice set of improvements and include an 1100mAh battery, as well as Windows Mobile 6.1 out of the box. In addition, it is also expected to include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and come in either silver or black. As you would expect with the FCC information, pricing and availability timeframe still remains as much as mystery as it was before.
