Blackberry leaks seem to be ten a penny of late, RIM would probably just be better publishing their roadmap at this stage. At any rate the previously leaked Bold 9780 has been caught on camera again, this time though in a rather jolly walkthrough sort of affair. Driphter.com managed to snag the handset and have been taking it through its paces and showing off things like browsing using the webkit based browser. Interestingly enough that web surfing demo throws up something interesting: fast loading times, but there are some jitters when scrolling around a webpage. Hopefully this is something that gets rectified before the handset goes on sale. Look @ the Video Below !

Motorola is obviously just about at the end of the tunnel as their financial results are starting to get better and better. This time around the company reported 162 million US dollars of profit, which compares very favorably to the 26 millions earned for the same period last year.

Of course what interests us the most is Motorola mobile division, which managed to push 8.7 million handsets for the past three months. Those generated 1.7 billion dollars of revenue and 87 million dollars of profit. Okay it's not like they are lighting their Cuban cigars with Benjamins in the Moto HQ, but it's certainly good enough considering their recent track record.

The bad news is that some legal statement brought them 228 million dollars that certainly added for the positive financial result and it's unlikely that such a thing will happen again next quarter. So Motorola will need to keep up the hard work and hope that by the time the mobile division gets separated it can continue to be in the black, relying on sales alone.

Releasing more devices like the Motorola Droid X, which enjoyed a great reception in the US will certainly help. And fitting some GSM radios in those might help in the rest of the world warming up towards Motorola too.

Nokia S40 devices have been coming preloaded with Opera Mini for a long while, but this might be coming to an end. Nokia Beta Labs have introduced the Ovi Browser for S40, which takes the same approach to browsing as Opera Mini does.

The browser is still in beta and Ovi Browser uses custom servers to open a page, compresses it and send the compressed version to your phone. Just like Opera Mini does.

 

If fact, at this point Ovi Browser looks very, very similar to Opera Mini 4.2 though Beta Labs didn't say if they've used Opera code and servers. The Ovi Browser beta lacks some features, but developers are working on adding new ones for the next beta so, we don't know what exactly will be included and what will be left out of the final version.

The first Symbian^3 powered device, Nokia N8, was first said to start selling in August but it seems that the phone has actually been pushed back a month. But the good news is if you happen to live in Italy and want to be among the first owners of the smartphone, you can pre-order it right away.

 

To refresh your memory, Nokia N8 isn't only the first Symbian^3 running smartphone but also the only (so far) Nokia device to come with a (pretty good) 12-megapixel snapper on board. On top of that it also features an anodized aluminum casing, a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen as well as a 680MHz processor, HDMI port and a video player with DivX/XviD support.

The N8 was said to start shipping on 24 August but, apparently, the device needs some extra touches and will arrive by the end of September 2010. If you want to pre-order it, just follow that link. It only takes a few clicks and 469 euro.

The price is a bit higher than the 370 euro Nokia talked about at the announcement event (it adds up to 444 euro when VAT is included). But there is some predictions that the Price will go down!

 

We have just got some News that Nokia is now getting a New Community project by Nokia developers for making a New Mobile phone from the Nseries Family but that can Take Nokia to the top Again. The New Phone will have a Full QWERTY Keyboard and 8MP camera with Dual-LED flash, a 4.0 TFT Capacitive touch screen and with Symbian^4 on it. All that beside the Default Features as Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR, WiFi 802.11b/g, A-GPS, FM Radio, USB-on the-GO and Many Other Features that will make this phone in the top for All People who looking for High-Performance Full-option Mobile Phones. But we don’t have any confirmation about the CPU or RAM of this Device but I thought it will have 512MB RAM, 256MB ROM and an ARM-Snapdragon 1GHZ processors.
