I'm sure most of you were waiting for this, right? Since Nokia's previous Maemo Internet Tablet offerings were also capable of running Google Android, it was only a matter of time before somebody thought of installing Android on Nokia's intrepid new smartphone. And imagine: installing two open platforms on one excellent phone? It's a geek's wet dream come true.
From Slashgear:
Brandon Roberts is the man responsible for the dual-booting marvel, and while he’s describing it more as a proof of concept right now than a workable solution, from what little is shown in the video he’s come a decent way. The keyboard seems to work, and the ...

Does anybody here remember the Nokia N-gage? Not a lot of you, I'm sure. The N-Gage didn't really make much of a splash when it first came out, which is sad, because it was way ahead of its time. Back then people scoffed at a gaming phone. I did too. The hardware available back then wasn't really good for running games, and there wasn't really a bunch of games you can actually play on the N-Gage platform.
Nokia's taking another shot at the mobile gaming market with the Ovi Orion. The Ovi Orion is still conceptual as of now, and in theory, it looks like a good gaming phone.
According ...

Nokia seems to be pushing ahead with Symbian even though rumors abound of Nokia's move to switch the entire N-Series from Symbian to Maemo. Right now, there's new of Nokia skipping development of Symbian ^2 so that they can go ahead and proceed with Symbian ^3. And the good news is that we might be able to see Symbian ^3 this year, as Nokia is aiming to release v3 by the third quarter of 2010!
According to Digitimes:
The Symbian version 4 is believed to be based on the Qt cross-platform application development framework developed by Trolltech, which Nokia acquired in June 2008, said industry sources. The Qt ...

Okay, so everyone's really crazy over the latest Android or Windows Mobile phone - um, maybe not Windows Mobile, but you get the general idea. The internet also split in half last week over Apple's latest gadget, the iPad. Which is being criticized to be an oversized iPod touch. Of course, it goes without saying that people are pretty much excited over the 4th-generation iPhone, along with the iPhone OS 4.0. And everyone's really excited to see where Nokia is taking Maemo.
So, no Symbian love, huh? I know, that mobile operating system is old and pretty much bloated. It's on its way out, but I'm sure there ...

Well, that was fast. A mere three weeks after the Google Nexus One was launched, rumors are coming out about the Google Nexus Two. That's right, guys. We're going to talk about the sequel to the Google Nexus One, even before it starts to warm up in people's pockets.
According to the rumors, the Google Nexus Two will be manufactured this time by Motorola. Google is allegedly looking into one of Motorola's not yet in production models, the Motorola Shadow, to be sold as the Google Nexus Two. The Motorola Shadow is going to be a pretty nice phone, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard while at the same time having an ...

Let me tell you about this little secret I have: I love QWERTY phones. Ever since I got my hands on Nokia's business class E63 with its beautifully made QWERTY keypad, I refuse to look back. In fact, I don't even know how I got by without QWERTY in the first place. Now Nokia's User Interfaces are another discussion though. I hate the living crap out of Nokia's UI. It's dated and in places ugly - well that's until Symbian gets replaced by Maemo in Nokia's N-Series. Nokia phones do get huge plus points for its solid construction. Yeah, construction beats UI everytime. Sony Ericsson phones, on the other hand, ...

That was pretty fast, don't you think? Just a few short weeks ago, there came out rumors that Google has been giving its employees a mysterious phone that they were supposed to test out over the holidays. Then we see Google employees praising the phone to high heavens over on their Twitter accounts. Heck, after Google's initial announcement, I was expecting the Nexus One to be released around March to June.
So imagine my surprise to see that the Nexus One is already out, but there's a review already on TechCrunch! Michael Arrington himself gives his two cents on the Nexus One.
Basically, the phone is everything people loved about Android, ...

Video: Creative Zii TRINITY concept phone
Posted by Ade as Cellphones
CNET Asia was able to get ahold of Creative 's attempt to enter the smartphone market, the Zii TRINITY, and it's looking good. The Zii Trinity is a smartphone development platform based on its ZMS-05 and ZMS-08 processors. Sadly though, this isn't a consumer product but a reference device meant for developers and manufacturers. Just like Creative's Zii Egg device.
Basically, it's not that much different from the Zii Egg (the Trinity is capable of video output up to HD resolutions). What makes it different is added cellular connectivity supporting GSM and WCDMA networks. So this is the iPhone to Apple's iPod touch.
From the videos below, you'd see that the TRINITY 001 is still in an unfinished. Of course you can expect the occasional glitch but the fact that it is run by a powerful ZMS-05 SoC more than make up for it. Manufacturers interested in rolling out a Zii-powered phone can do so in 3 months, according to Creative.
Check out the videos after the jump:

I know, people are demanding that they get to use their phones the way they want to, and jailbreaking is a way to free your phone from the shackles of Apple's tyranny. But jailbreaking opens up your phone to security risks and now, we have two separate incidents of iPhones being hacked.
First off, we have the Dutch hacker who held iPhones (that left SSH running) for ransom. The message read, "Your iPhone's been hacked because it's really insecure! Please visit doiop.com/iHacked and secure your iPhone right now! Right now, I can access all your files."
Visiting the URL directs the user to send €5 to a PayPal account, after which the ...

Okay, this isn't really top-of-the-line enough or something I filed under the "OMG I WANT" category, but I find this cellphone to be clever enough I think it warrants an entry here in gadzooki.
This phone has a rather large keypad, making it ideal for the elderly who refuses to let old age get in the way of collecting gadgets. Okay, the name is a bit uninspired (6380 Senior Mobile Phone) but we're talking about a phone here with a small 128×60 screen, for crying out loud. It's not supposed to be inspired.
My favorite feature so far has got to be the ...

Sony reveals PlayStation Move
I have to admit, my mind is officially blown. Sony finally revealed its new PlayStation 3 motion controller at GDC 2010 in San Francisco, and boy is it looking good.
