Usually when discussions of overclocking enter the room, we’re talking about desktop computers being water-cooled and pumped up as high-end gaming rigs. That’s not the case today. Instead, we take a rather ho-hum Nokia and effectively double the clock speed on its processor. An enthusiast has set out to overclock every Nokia Symbian device and the Nokia 5230, which is sold as the Nokia Nuron via T-Mobile, was the first testing ground. Straight out of the box, the smartphone runs at 433MHz. Running some custom ROMs, this was bumped up to 800MHz . That’s no small feat, effectively bringing the performance of this phone (almost) into the Snapdragon and Hummingbird range. The rest of the components aren’t up to spec, but it’s crazy that he’s able to move the processor up that much. Will the average person be at all interested in overclocking their cell phone? Probably not. It could make for a very unstable experience and you can pretty much say goodbye to your battery life. Even s...

We have a couple of juicy tidbits for all the HTC smartphone enthusiasts in the audience. First, HTC has indeed confirmed that it has an LTE smartphone in the works, but it seems that this device will be slightly delayed in its launch . For now, the timetable is calling for a launch “some time in 2011.” This would effectively miss the LTE rollout with Verizon Wireless, which is currently set to happen before the end of the year. At the same time, HTC has not confirmed who its initial LTE partner will be in the United States either. AT&T is planning to do the LTE thing about halfway through 2011; that timing would be closer to HTC’s timetable. Considering how proud HTC was to launch the first 4G ( WiMAX ) phone in the United States with the HTC Evo 4G through Sprint, I’m thinking they’d want to be the first with LTE in our part of the world too. Interestingly, HTC is not saying whether the first LTE handset will be an Android or Windo...

In this day and age, having a 3G connection on your smartphone shouldn’t really be a selling feature. It should be a given, like saying that your smartphone has the ability to update Twitter or organize your schedule. Even so, it seems that one of the primary selling points of the new BlackBerry Curve 9300 is exactly that, since it is also marketed as the BlackBerry Curve 3G. Does this mean that you should completely disregard the BlackBerry Curve 9300 ? No, not necessarily. At under fifty bucks on contract, it’s one of the cheapest smartphones on the market today. Then again, are you better off spending a couple more bucks to get something monumentally better? Let’s find out. Features and Specifications As a Curve, the BlackBerry 9300 is a very clear step down from even older devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9700 . The price reflects that, but be prepared to make some sacrifices. For instance, it only has a 2.0-megapixel camera and that...

Apple iPhone 4 expected to hit Verizon Wireless January 2011, says analyst Just about as popular as the iPhone 4G rumors , inevitably leading to the release of the iPhone 4 , the Verizon iPhone reports continue; this time it’s coming from Bloomberg. On the TV show “Street Smart” , Rodman & Renshaw senior technology analyst Ashok Kumar explains how the AT&T hold on Apple’s smartphone will be ending this year, giving way for Verizon Wireless to offer the iPhone in the U.S. this January 2011. Verizon Wireless is the largest U.S. mobile phone carrier, and Apple is all about numbers now. As you saw with their 1.7 million iPhone 4 units sold in just three days. Giving up exclusivity and selling through Verizon will make millions of people quite happy. UBS AG analyst John Hodulik in an interview with Bloomberg expects Verizon customers to buy 3 million iPhones per quarter, according to his estimates. That can quickly reach n...

A report from two anonymous sources suggests Verizon will begin carrying Apple's iPhone in January 2011. With the ink now dry on a stack of AT&T contracts left in the wake of Apple ’s iPhone 4, it looks like the carrier may have roped in all 1.7 million iPhone buyers just in time. According to Bloomberg , Verizon will begin selling the hot-selling superphone next year, ending AT&T’s longstanding monopoly on Apple devices. Bloomberg cites “two people familiar with the matter,” whom claim Verizon will begin offering the iPhone in January 2011. Although no new details have emerged, the report seems to mesh with an earlier Wall Street Journal rumor that production on a CDMA iPhone would begin in September. Rumors of the iPhone coming to networks have swirled almost since the very first generation launched exclusively on AT&T, but all have proven false so far. According to a USA Today article from 2007 , Apple signed a five-year exclusivity deal with AT&T back i...
