Rumors on the web are Pantech and AT&T are cooking up a replacement for the Duo.  We’re not entirely sure what they are changing on it with the exception of a better camera (2megapixel), but we hope they do something about the processing speed to kill that delay when sliding the phone open to reveal the keyboard.  Anywho, we’re sure to see it around Christmas ‘08.  Source

The long rumored BlackBerry Flip device has finally made an appearance!  The phone looks hot and will attract much attention from flip phone junkies.  It seems to include the best of both worlds.  T-Mobile will probably have the exclusive when it launches, but for how long, and does that include an exclusive to include the possible 3G version too?  We’ll have to wait and see…  Source

Nokia is unhappy with their ownership of the US mobile phone market.  To fix this, they plan to release alot of phones “very soon”.  It’d be nice if they could get out phones for all levels instead of just the free entry phones.  Maybe throw a few N series phones into the mix and it might boost your market share a little.

Apple is rumored to be cutting the price of the iPhone in the UK.  Following other cuts recently, we have two conclusions.  1. Apple is trying to boost sales or 2. Apple is making way for the 3G iPhone by clearing out 2G inventory.  Either way, if your in the UK, snap one up!
