BlackBerry Bold comes to South Korea at long last
30.06.2009 22:08
engadgetmobile.com
Filed under: Handsets, RIM, BlackBerry OSIt's taken a little longer than they'd hoped, but RIM and SK Telecom will finally begin offering a localized version of the venerable BlackBerry Bold to South Korean customers this week. The move follows last year's scrapping of policies that all but banned foreign handsets from being offered by local carriers, which could theoretically be a boon to manufacturers in one of the world's most advanced mobile markets -- assuming anyone's able to crash through the stranglehold that local favorites Samsung, LG, and Pantech have. It's unclear how big of a deal a device with an English QWERTY keyboard could really be in Seoul, but hey, options are always a good thing, right?BlackBerry Bold comes to South Korea at long last originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:57:00 EST.

The Pre gets PlayStation gaming and more thanks to ZodTTD (video)
30.06.2009 20:11
engadgetmobile.com
Filed under: Games, Software, Palm, webOS If you're familiar with the emulation scene (and let's be honest, you are reading Engadget), then you know the name ZodTTD -- the brain behind some of the best jailbroken emus for the iPhone, including variations on the PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, and most importantly... the TurboGrafx-16. Now the master-hacker has brought his goods to the Pre, cooking up a version of psx4all on the Palm device, with the aforementioned GBA and TG16 ports on the way! Interestingly, he reports that the performance on the Pre is actually better than that of the iPhone 3GS, and of course he's hacked access to the keyboard, allowing for (more) proper control of games. There are still kinks that are being worked out (sound emulation, screen scaling, etc.), but it looks like we can expect big things in the near future. We at Engadget know everyone will rest a bit easier tonight knowing that real gaming on the Pre is at hand. We'll hopefully be getting our hands on a version soon, but for now hit the read link for more info, and check out the full video after the break!Continue reading The Pre gets PlayStation gaming and more thanks to ZodTTD (video)The Pre gets PlayStation gaming and more thanks to ZodTTD (video) originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:48:00 EST.

Funny-looking Nokia passes FCC with US 3G, possibly the Mako?
30.06.2009 20:11
engadgetmobile.com
Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, ATT, Symbian, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS What does this look like to you? If you answered "most definitely not a phone," well, we're not so sure about that. In fact, we're certain it is a phone, considering that the FCC documentation identifies it as such. Even juicier, though, is the fact that the Nokia RM-599 (all Nokias get RM codes prior to their market model numbers and names) has WCDMA on Bands II and V, which would be just what the doctor ordered for use on North American 3G spectrum. Given the odd outline foretold by the ID label here and the radio specs, we're thinking we could be looking at the Mako for AT&T, which means it may have just cleared one of the last few hurdles ahead of release. Of course, we don't know exactly how it's doing in AT&T's testing labs -- that's another story altogether -- but maybe we'll see this sooner rather than later.Funny-looking Nokia passes FCC with US 3G, possibly the Mako? originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:20:00 EST.
