Cellphone News – SMS Technology shipping the M500 watch phone on August 31st?

Filed under: Cellphones, Wearables

We’ll admit, there’s a few sects who’ve already crossed SMS Technology’s M500 watch phone off as vaporware in its finest form, but apparently, the firm is finally coming through on its most recent declaration. Yep, those wearable phones the company has been promising all this time are finally shipping soon, at least, we think. According to the company, “the final version of the M500 production model has been given full clearance to be supplied with full metal strap bracelets,” and it sounds like deliveries should begin within a month. Furthermore, the final production model sports a longer stylus, a battery upgrade, and a few software tweaks including support for POP3 email and IM. Hang tight, the “global retail launch” is slated for September 10th, with the keyword here being “slated.”

Nokia makes Prism collection officially official

Filed under: Cellphones

Despite Asian availability for a few weeks now of the 7500 model, it seems Nokia has just today decided to make its so-called “Prism collection” official. Perhaps a great gift for the mathematics professor or physicist in your life, the two span the spectrum of radio coverage and features; the 7500 is naturally the lower-end of the two, featuring a QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, and data topping out at EDGE speeds. The 7900 adds a fourth band of GSM coverage (Americans may want to stay away from the 7500 thanks to an absence of GSM 850), WCDMA 850 / 2100, 1GB of internal storage, and a trick 2 inch OLED screen. Both phones ride atop Series 40 3rd Edition and should be in shops this quarter — if they aren’t already — for €210 and €400 (about $288 and $549) respectively.

Palm gets official with Treo 750’s WM6 upgrade — in Australia

Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds

The good news is that the official Windows Mobile 6 Professional update for the Treo 750 is just around the corner; the bad news, though, is that you probably can’t have it yet unless you’re lucky enough to live in one particular corner of the world. Following countless incognito shots of WM6-sporting 750s in the wild, an imminent official announcement was pretty much a foregone conclusion — though we admittedly never suspected Australia would be the first to get the hookup. Specifically, customers of the Australian branch of Hutchison 3 will be able to download the update free of charge starting mid-month, with “other customers” following on in September. Whether “other customers” includes AT&T is unclear, but we’re keeping our fingers tightly crossed.
