Last week I went over how the Motorola Q Global could be a building block for Motorola. Word now is that Motorola might make the huge mistake of selling off the mobile unit. Talk about bad move.

Well we’re still here, but it seems AMP’D mobile might not be, as the company recently filed for a Chapter 11. If you’re interested, which of course you are, read about AMP’D filing for Chapter 11 here, more AMP’D bankruptcy blather here and of course there is always more + the official statement from AMP’D about their chapter 11.

In 2000 InfoWorld ran a story on the 10 commandments for mobile phone etiquette, times have changed, but the need for proper mobile phone etiquette still remains.

Handset users milking T-Mobile’s $5.99 data plan might find a shock the next time they look to use 3rd party software to get full access to the web. Ports are being blocked on handsets to encourage heavy data users to switch (away from T-Mobile of course) to either the $20 or $30 unlimited data packages they offer. The reasoning is that the $5.99 plan is for light usage.

With all the hoopla surrounding recent touchscreen mobiles, from the LG Prada phone AKA the LG KE850 and the upcoming Apple iPhone it seems manufacturers might be racing to come to market with a competing product.

We’ve spotted several touchscreen concept renderings recently, the Aeon concept (pictured above), and even the Nokia Exhibition phones but Nokia may now be a few steps beyond mere mockups and these photos might be proof.

Rumors. man we do our best to steer clear of them, but sometimes, what can you do? Especially when it’s about a new N-Series device. Now Reuters is reporting that Nokia will unveil its first mid-priced TV phone during 3GSM.

Phones specs are scant at the moment but it is said that the Nokia N77 will receive TV signals in DVB-H and be priced near 200 – 300 EUROS, which is roughly somewhere between $250 -$400 USD. Keep your fingers crossed.

Edit: This has been declared as not true and not happening.
Talk about big moves. This is bound to ruffle the feathers of pretty much every carrier. Not only does Cingular have the iPhone exclusive, rumor has it that the “largest wireless carrier in the US” will provide FREE service to users who jump ship from their current carriers and join the iPhone lovefest.
