Join Sonim unveils Sonim XP3300 FORCE GSM handset at MWC 2011
The name Sonim evokes a sense of security and ruggedness, simply because they have proven in the past that their handsets have long been the tough nuts of the industry. Well, it makes perfect sense then for the company to introduce their latest Sonim XP3300 FORCE GSM handset at Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona, Spain.
This ultra-rugged MRM-ready handset was specially designed to help enterprises and government organizations locate, track and manage mobile workers, their tasks and assets. Of course, it is an evolution in engineering after being built on lessons that were learned from serving half a million customers with the toughest jobs on earth, where among some of them toil at 16 hour shifts. Let us see how Sonim’s XP3300 FORCE will be able to maximize workforce efficiency, minimize downtime and enhance safety in industries such as transportation, logistics and utilities.

Samsung Galaxy Indulge joins the 4G LTE family
Samsung intends to expand their Galaxy (range of phones, that is) with the latest addition, the Samsung Galaxy Indulge. It is rather interesting to note that this latest release will not arrive on any of the big four carriers, but rather, will be made available to MetroPCS, one of the smaller players over in the US. Still, that doesn’t detract from the fact that the Galaxy Indulge is one of the world’s first commercially available 4G LTE enabled Android smartphone.
MetroPCS’ main selling point that will accompany the Galaxy Indulge is this – it costs around half that of other 4G smartphone where service plans are concerned, as consumers are able to “have it all”, so to speak, with MetroPCS’ $50 and $60 4G LTE smartphone service plans, where it will comprise of all applicable taxes and regulatory fees.

mophie does juice pack air for Verizon iPhone 4
If you’re an iPhone 4 owner, chances are you know what I’m talking about – whenever you need your handset to deliver that extra bit of juice, it seems to falter simply because you spent too much time playing Angry Birds whenever you’re free, hence sapping up all the power reserves required to make that all important business call to clinch that multi-million dollar contract.
What are you supposed to do then, tote a charger with you wherever you go? While that isn’t such a bad idea after all, here is a solution from mophie that does make life easier – we’re talking about the juice pack air. What makes this version special is, it will play nice with the Verizon iPhone 4 – yes, the long awaited CDMA version of one of the hottest selling phones to date.

AT&T iPhone 4 Ballistic HC Series Case
So you’ve just gotten that spanking new iPhone 4, but are wondering just how the heck are you going to keep it protected and safe from all harm, drops and accidental knocks? Well, surely getting a case has been on your mind for some time already, but just which model will you choose?
Let Ballistic serve you with the AT&T iPhone 4 Ballistic HC Series Case. As its name suggests, this will work only with the AT&T version of the iPhone 4, so if you happen to own the Verizon Wireless model, you’re out of luck (for the moment, that is).
Engineered with five layers of protection, they include a built-in screen protector, an integrated holster to deliver security from drops, fingerprints, scratches, dust and any other potential mishap. The 180 degree rotating belt-clip makes it easy to tote around, where it can be yours for $29.99. Surely that is worth the money to protect your phone investment?
Sprint goes DS-like with Kyocera Echo
They say that good things come in twos – any parent to a pair of twins will surely echo that sentiment, and Sprint has taken heed of such advice to introduce the new Kyocera Echo which takes a totally different route when it comes to form factor and features for a smartphone – we’re talking about having a couple of displays here instead of your usual one-screen handset.
Yeah, I do think that this is a ruse to steal some thunder away from the upcoming Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 that is said to arrive next week, since the Echo is a pioneering device where cell phones are concerned with its two displays. Powered by the Android operating system, there are no demo units available as at press time for us to look at, although future updates are already in the offing.

MoGo Talk XD2 pre-orders open for the iPhone 4

Of course, anyone with an iPhone 4 who wants to go the hands-free route when driving (it is going to be more cost effective than paying for a ticket many times over, trust us) will definitely want to check out the clean design and high performance that comes with the new XD2.
Touted to be the world’s first “never lost” Bluetooth headset, the MoGo Talk XD2 is currently the thinnest and only high-performance Bluetooth headset with a protective case system which will stores and charge on your iPhone.

The Most Convenient Bluetooth Headset
If there is one thing that I have noticed about Hammacher’s products, it is the use of adjectives. While some of them might sound out of this world (as our readers have pointed out in the past via comments), surely they haven’t gotten slapped with a lawsuit before for false advertising, which means their claims are legit?
Here we are today with another device – known as The Most Convenient Bluetooth Headset. Why is it called that, you ask? Well, apparently it will remain charged in a car and automatically reconnect with your cell phone. The headset will juice up from a base which plugs into your 12-volt DC adapter, hence doing away with the need to charge up your headset inside every time.
The moment you enter the vehicle, the headset will automatically reconnect with your paired cell phone, which isn’t different at all from the automatic reconnection of a built-in hands-free system. You will be able to enjoy crystal clear conversation since the headset boasts noise suppression technology.
One hour of charging delivers up to four hours of talk time and 150 hours of stand-by time. Thanks to a USB mini-charger, you can also juice up this $99.95 purchase from any USB-powered source.
Motorola ATRIX 4G announced
Motorola’s upcoming Android 2.2 Froyo-powered handset, the ATRIX 4G, is set to light up the smartphone world – that’s a given, and we are pleased to bring you news of its availability while it is hot off the press. Available for pre-sales a day before Valentine’s (that is February 13 just in case you do not own a calendar), it will cost you as much as other high-end Android-powered smartphones, that is, $199.99 with a two-year service agreement.
Expect the Motorola ATRIX 4G to soften the blow of losing the iPhone exclusivity deal with Apple for AT&T, as it will hit the market on March 6th this year, and hopefully good sales will follow and boost up their earnings in that particular quarter sometime down the road. Of course, you can also expect AT&T to bundle pricing for the Motorola ATRIX 4G and the Motorola Laptop Dock.
