Vertu’s Signature S Design is real, hits FCC

Filed under: Handsets, Vertu, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS

Tycoons of the world, get out your pocketbooks. Actually, wait, scratch that — kick back, relax, and let your butler do it for you, because Vertu has a new multi-thousand dollar toy for your enjoyment. The FCC has revealed that Nokia’s ultra-luxe division has finally updated its flagship Signature model to include 3G, and they’ve taken the opportunity to completely redesign it to make it slimmer, hotter, and presumably, pricier than ever before. The all-new Signature features quadband EDGE, HSDPA on the 850 and 2100MHz bands, and WiFi — a Vertu first — which means we should probably expect a fabulous browser to go with that generously-proportioned OLED display. Well, we can’t, since we’ll never get closer than a thick sheet of security glass to this thing — but someone can.

Update: The phone’s officially been unveiled on Vertu’s site as the Signature S Design, hitting a boutique you can’t get into unless you’re dressed to impress near you come next month.

Helio’s Ocean 2 coming — but not until 2009

Filed under: Handsets, Pantech, Helio, Virgin Mobile, EV-DO, MVNOs, CDMA

This is one of those classic tales of joy and sorrow — a tale of a phone that could’ve been Helio’s undisputed flagship model of the year, a phone that could’ve saved the scrappy little MVNO from Virgin Mobile′s gaping maw (alright, it couldn’t have even come close to doing that, but we’re running with it for the drama factor). On the high side, we’ve now heard confirmation straight from the source that the Ocean 2 is, in fact, a real device, but the problem is that it won’t be coming out until next year because they “want to put it out when it’s the best it can be.” It’s sure looking just about the “best it can be″ from the videos we’ve seen recently — and frankly, we think they should just throw this out there while kicking off development on an Ocean 3 ASAP — but it looks like the decision’s already been made, and we all know there’s no such thing as moving a release date forward.

[Thanks, Blade G]
