The latest rumor is that Sony Ericsson is going to release a sequel to its other touchscreen phones, the Satio and the Aino. The next in SE’s full touchscreen line, it is believed, is going to be the Sony Ericsson Jalou, an S60 5th Edition smartphone.
The Jalou is rumoured to come with WiFi and GPS and there are not supposed to be any physical buttons on the touchscreen. Anyway, we can’t confirm this till we get official word from SE themselves. Till then, stay tuned for more news.
We have managed to get our hands on a supposed “pre-launch” list of AT&T phones. The list is very riveting indeed. It includes some very interesting phones such as the BlackBerry 9700 smartphone, Garmin-Asus nuvifone G60, the HTC Tilt 2 and something referred to as the “HTC Pure” (we still need to find out what that is, though we think it might be something like the Snap).
There are no Android or webOS smartphones on the list, though. Must say we’re disappointed with that. Anyway, the nuvifone seems to be entering the market soon. We’re hoping it makes up for everything else. What say, guys?
The new Nokia 5330 XpressMusic, though without 3G, is still much more popular than its more expensive kin, the 5800. Here is an unboxing video of the Nokia 5330 XpressMusic, which also shows you some functions of its touchscreen display.

The sleek and stylish phone has some wonderful S60 5th Edition. Of course, we sorely missed the 3G, but hey, once you take a look at the video, you’re bound to like it more than you thought.
We just told you how MetroPCS intends to increase business by offering revised service plans and additional features in each plan (click here for original post). Competition everywhere is pretty high. So now, both Virgin and Tesco Mobile in the UK are going ‘unlimited’ with their tariff plans too.
Virgin Media have lifted the curtains off their £65/month tariff, which comes with unlimited call, text and mobile Internet usage. The problem is that you have to sign an 18-month contract. This service does not include the Samsung Jet, Nokia N86 and some other devices. Well, that seems to be a very long-standing contract and not really too inexpensive, so we have to see if this will be as popular as the company expects it to be.
Next comes Tesco Mobile, which has also introduced its new ‘unlimited’ tariff plan. It offers a pay-per-month contract at a mere £30/month. In addition to this, this service is SIM-only, which means, you need to get your own device. This tariff is basically talk and text only. So this is a great idea if you only message and make a lot of domestic calls. But if you are used to making international calls or browsing the Net on your phone, this tariff plan is clearly not for you. Click here to know more about Tesco Mobile.
