 AT&T this day announced a new easy phone. Made by Korean Pantech, the Breeze is designed to “consider the needs of seniors or customers who have disabilities.” That being said, this clamshell isn’t about high-end features. Rather, it's a simple and easy to use phone, which prides itself with such things as 3 quick-call keys, simplified menu, massive font, and clear and loud speakerphone. In addition, there's also VGA camera and Bluetooth on board, as well as instant messaging software and an email client.
Commenting on the Breeze's announcement, Pantech's VP of Marketing and Sales, Patrick Beattie, said that Breeze underscores the handset maker's commitment to all levels of customers. “By incorporating AT&T's socially responsible Universal Design model, this product speaks directly to people needing a down-to-earth handset that provides easy access to core features,” he added.
The Pantech Breeze is already available on AT&T for $49.99 on a two-year contract and with mail-in rebate of $30. More information is available on AT&T's website.

Rather, it's a easy and easy to use phone, which prides itself with such things as 3 quick-call keys, simplified menu, big font, and clear and loud speakerphone.

 Back in January we talked about plans of Motorola and Nokia to bring budget phones to Verizon Wireless. Then in April we posted first pics of the Moto W755, the stylish clamshell device which fits into Motorola's Verizon-user-conquering plans. And now it's officially out, available for purchase.
As you already know, the W755 is a thin clamshell phone with some lines borrowed from the RAZR. Actually, specs wise it's pretty much the same beast as the RAZR V3m with an addition of stereo Bluetooth support and external music control keys. Or to put it in other words, it's a perfect fit for those that want a decent-looking phone that can also play music.
The MOTO W755 is available in purple and black from Verizon's website for $69.99 with two-year contract and on the web discount.

At some point in hopefully near future, Nokia will be revealing new devices. Three press pics have been leaked, giving us hope the Finnish giant is in the midst of compiling the press kits and soon enough we'll see them announcing their new products.
First goes the 7310 Classic model. As a member of Nokia's fashion series of devices, this arguably stylish candybar doesn't pack tons of features. However, that's not to say it's a bad phone, quite the contrary. As far as we know, there's 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.2-inch 1.6 million colors QVGA screen, stereo Bluetooth, FM Radio and possibly the microSD slot under the hood. Lack of “menu” button suggest this phone will be powered by the handset maker's Series 40 platform.
Other two devices, E66 and E71, we've already seen leaked before. Heck, we've even seen the Nokia E66 passing the FCC hurdle and the E71 reviewed by Boy Genius. We really want to see them officially announced — the E71 model, especially. Is there any news on these two smartphones Espoo? What about the 7310? State something, don't keep us in the dark for too long.

And the latest Apple's iPhone partner is… TeliaSonera. The short release says:
TeliaSonera this day announced it has signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia later this year.
It will be quite interesting to see how Apple's handset sells in the lands of Nokia and Sony Ericsson. I doubt we'll see many “spoiled for 3.5G” Finns and Swedes jumping on the Apple's bandwagon. At least until the 3G version is out…
P.S. It's good to be spoiled, sometimes.

 Vodafone this day announced that its current CEO, Arun Sarin will be retiring at the end of the Company's annual general meeting (AGM) on 29th July 2008. Deputy Chief Executive, Vittorio Colao, will take the reigns from then on.
Arun Sarin became Chief Executive in July 2003 and over the last five years has led the company through a period of significant change, both strategic and organisational. Under his leadership Vodafone has developed and implemented a new strategy to become a total communications company, which is already delivering results. As part of its strategy Vodafone has also expanded into emerging markets including Romania, Czech Republic, Turkey, and most recently, India where Arun Sarin led the acquisition of Hutchison Essar, which is the largest foreign investment made in the country.
In portfolio management, during Sarin's tenure, the Big Red giant also disposed of its businesses in Japan and Sweden, together with interests in Switzerland and Belgium. Finally, Vodafone grew from 120 million to more than 260 million users globally, during the period.
Aside from Arun Sarin, two Non Executive Directors Michael Boskin and Jürgen Schrempp will be also leaving the company following the AGM.
In the other news, Vodafone announced results for the year ended March 31st, 2008. Group revenues total 35.5 billion GBP, an increase of 14.1% (4.2$ organic growth); Group EBITDA is up 10.2% reaching 13.2 billion GBP; and total dividends per share are up by 11.1% to 7.51 pence!

 Recently, HTC revealed a new PDA phone - P3400i. The device runs Windows Mobile 6 and only a year ago would be worth enough speaking about. Now, once the Diamond has been revealed, I'm having a problem finding any good words to describe it. To be fair, the P3400i is completely different beast than the Diamond. It targets entry-level smartphone users and as such it provides a solid value for the money.
The so called “affordable business PDA” sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen, quad-band GSM/GPRS radio, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity support. An array of Microsoft software is pre-installed to help users be more productive, and media playback abilities ensure that the P3400i owners will also be/stay entertained while on-the-go.
The HTC P3400i should be available at the end of May at all authorized resellers at a suggested retail price of $488.

iPhone may be a beautiful phone but without a proper case it can easily slip away. On the other hand, that same case makes the device look uglier, but I guess that's a trade off for protecting it against falls.
Now, thanks to Brando's Super Grip your iPhone won't slip any more. As matter of fact you’ll be able to grip your shiny toy virtually everywhere, including such slippy surfaces like boats, tables, chairs, desks, etc. At the same time the “gripping, but not sticky” pad will protect iPhone's aluminium back cover from scratch. The only problem I see beside again making the device bit uglier, is putting out the iPhone out of your pocket. If the pad is that sticky, won't it stick to your pants? Or I'm wrong?
Anyway, the iPhone Super Grip costs $10.50 and is available in either black or white. More images that demonstrate just how gripping this thing really is follow after the jump.
