Verizon have officially announced the LG Versa, the touchscreen smartphone with a detachable QWERTY keyboard that we saw in leaked photos last month.  The device, which has a 3-inch 480 x 240 touchscreen, EV-DO Rev.A and a 2-megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and an onboard image editor, can be used as a straightforward candybar or with the snap-on keyboard for ... continued »

From now, Nokia will only go with panel suppliers that can make AMOLEDs. And while this may seem as though they're limiting their options, Nokia is confident that AMOLEDs with play a significant role in the mobile displays of the future. The OLED is no stranger to Nokia. In fact, it is prominently featured in two of their higher-end products, the ... continued »

Another week has gone by, they go so quick. This week has been one of waiting, actually. We are three days out from HTC's May 6th event to be held in London. There have been some teasers from the event though. The show stopper, the HTC Diamond, was photographed and it's spec sheet revealed. Notable goodies that were revealed were ... continued »

Sadly Samsung's new flagship Soul cellphone - which it will officially launch at the Mobile World Congress next week - doesn't have some sort of magical liquid metal display; no, it's interface cleverness is just underneath that, in the shape of an OLED touchscreen which displays context-specific controls.
