Combining huge screens with usable keyboards in a pocketable package is the challenge phone manufacturers are eternally doomed to try to solve, leading to an endless stream of (mostly comical) patent applications for ridiculous form factors that will never see the light of day. That’s where we think — well, we hope — Nokia’s latest [...]
You’re bound to face a few hiccups when you’re a no-name brand trying to source an Android handset from a no-name ODM buried deep inside a Shenzen industrial park, and it seems Kogan’s going through those growing pains right about now. The Australian company still says the Agora and Agora Pro will ship before the [...]
Described to us once by those in the know as “a project that would’ve been,” this Helio-badged, Samsung-built, multimedia-happy slider just surfaced on the Heliocity forums. Samsung shipped tweaked versions of this handset (based on the Samsung F400) with B&O and Armani branding, but there’s no telling if “Helio by Virgin” still has plans to [...]
Brutal honesty here: on election day this past November, the entire Engadget staff (well, those of us with US passports) collectively agreed that casting our vote via SMS or some other incredibly simple method would be infinitely more awesome than trudging out in the streets and waiting in hour-long lines. Clearly, some higher-ups in Estonia [...]

Well, it looks like those keen to attempt their own real life trek across Azeroth (or the virtual world of their choice) now have a fairly straightforward course of action to follow, as the originators of the MMO-connected treadmill have just posted some detailed plans for the rig on the ever-useful Instructables website. In case [...]
Details on this one are freakishly scarce, but DigiTimes has it that a number of recognizable handset makers are looking to incorporate MEMS gyroscopes into their 2009 smartphones. It’s anticipated that such devices would be used to sense motion in one form or another, with brands like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson and Apple [...]
Nintendo’s fended off class-action lawsuits over “defective” Wiimote straps in the past, and if you remember, they also replaced about 3.2 million of the straps (a/k/a “all of them”) around the same time too — way back in December of 2006. Well, the same lawyer’s back for round two with a new, nearly identical suit, [...]
