And, with Quickoffice's announcement of eOffice for BlackBerry, the venerable business-oriented mobile phone lineup can now enjoy native support for opening, creating, editing, and viewing Microsoft Office documents, courtesy of Quickoffice.

Every US wireless carrier needs an unlimited wireless plan to call their own these days. Not that it'll necessarily help a network operator's bottom line, but it's good to offer customers the option of an unlimited wireless plan - in the name of competition and all.

When it comes to the flexible displays of the future, E-Ink technology could very well usher in an age of low-power, static displays that can bend around corners and do the yard-work. Ok, so it won't clean up that pile of leaves, but E-Ink Corporation's new Segmented Display Cell (SDC) technology allows for next-generation displays based on E-Ink technology to bring flexibility and low power-consumption to a paper-thin package.

AT&T scored the exclusive launch rights for the latest BlackBerry Bold smartphone. That doesn't mean other U.S. based carriers won't get a chance to carry the long awaited device. On the contrary, that only means AT&T will be the first to offer the device, with other carriers to follow within few weeks. Hence, that employee vacations ban suddenly makes sense… or not.

To put it in other words, if you own a BlackBerry you'll be able to use the original BlackBerry-native Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger client, as well as get your Hotmail email pushed to your smartphone.

When you're in Japan, handset makers are fine-tuning their products to meet the high-tech needs of advanced Japanese mobile phone users. That being said, NTT DoCoMo announced it is working alongside LG to develop the new Prada phone.
From what we can tell, aside from the 7.2Mbps HSDPA support, the device is pretty much the same as the original Prada phone, boasting 2 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens and 3-inch touchscreen. Hopefully, we're missing something and the new Prada phone will also come with some other, still unannounced features like let's say WiFi support.
