Reigncom made notice that it has unveiled the release of iriver’s first cell phone called the Wave Phone (one of the several aliases this device is known by) in March of 2009. iriver plans on making its first mobile phone available in over ten of its shops country-wide.
The only issues as of now is that it will only be marketed in Korea and the retro huge housing its been placed in. There hasn’t even been rumors that iriver will market the product out of Korea, which could possibly mean that it won’t legally be available in other countries for quite some time.
irivers first phone features Wi-Fi connection, a variety of multimedia functions, a seemingly interactive touchscreen, music/video playback, a photo/text viewer , and an electronic dictionary supporting various languages (well we’re not sure if the dictionary will speak in different languages, but it should).

Do you recall how hard you fell for the T-Mobile Shadow? While that mobile phone was the best thing that happened to us at that time, the T-Mobile Shadow II appears to be even better, offering more advanced features than its predecessor. The new HTC made T-Mobile Shadow II is very much like the previous version, the Shadow.
The display, spinning scroll wheel, slide-out QWERTY-type keyboard, camera, WiFi and so on are still the same as the Shadow. What makes this version more advanced is that the T-Mobile Shadow II is powered by Windows 6.0, a much more powerful processor, which of course gives you far better performance. Apart from this basic difference, the design of this cell phone is more rounded and far less angular.
Besides, the initial draft of the user manual suggests that this latest mobile phone version might support both GSM and UMA-based Unlimited HotSpot Calling Service. The release date for this cool mobile is yet to be known, though. So watch this space for more info, guys!
