Virgin Mobile Canada gets around to adding BlackBerry Pearl 8130

Usually we’d say that late trumps never, but in this case, we’re not so sure. Two months shy of a full year after RIM announced the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for CDMA carriers, Virgin Mobile Canada is just now adding the handset to its arsenal. We’ll go ahead and assume you already know what this thing is packing, so here’s the dirt you aren’t familiar with: free on a 3-year contract (as if!), $299 on a 2-year plan, $349 on a 1-year plan (have we reached the absurdity ceiling yet?) and $399 on a 30-day contract (ah, there it is).

Unboxing and hands-on: Sprint’s AIRAVE signal booster

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 121 views

Filed under: Peripherals, Samsung, Sprint, EV-DO, CDMA

Sprint’s AIRAVE signal booster isn′t officially on sale nationwide just yet (August 17th, for those curious), but for those anxious to pull the trigger (or merely mulling the decision), we’ve got a few hands-on shots to whet your appetite. The Samsung-made CDMA femtocell arrived at our doorstep today, and the packaging is about what you’d expect from Sprint: yellow, a hint of white, and more yellow. The device itself isn’t too unwieldy, and it’s certainly on the light side. There’s definitely a port for hooking up a GPS antenna to keep users from taking this abroad and dialing up internationally (understandable, but what a bummer!), and everything else is pretty much par for the course. We’ll be taking this thing for a spin here in a Sprint dead zone to see if it really lives up to the hype, but until then, feel free to peruse the gallery below.

Nokia N96 hits the FCC, gets stripped

Filed under: Handsets, Nokia

Sure, we′ve already gotten a chance to play with the Nokia N96 — and even seen a couple reviews — but you know Uncle Sam’s got to get his taste before this thing gets its rumored launch later this month. Yep, nothing spectacular in the test reports, but if you’ve got a thing for industrial photography of circuit boards under florescent lights, you might want to hit the read link while you’re alone.

Outfitting of postman from the dark future

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 46 views

Power armor and plasma weapon will appear another neskoro, but some
things from the future can be tested directly now. For example the bag
of postman into twenty sixth century will appear precisely thus.
Special canvas maintains weightlessness and also space vakkum and will
reliably protect those being being located inside the letter and
gadzhety from the severe space conditions.
