We thought that the White iPhone 4 has already been removed from Apple’s product list, but good news to all of you looking for a White iPhone 4, it is still alive and available.  You’ll have to get it though from China.

According to the blog Giz-China the White iPhone is available in China.  The blog not only has the details to prove this exists, it also has accompanying photos of the White Genuine iPhone 4.  Another thing though, according to the blog, you can only purchase the White iPhone 4 from China’s grey market and although the grey market is legal against the black market which is illegal, the prices in the grey market are usually very high.

Many unofficial iPhone 4 resellers have a lot in stock and are said to be also selling them online.  Pricing for the White iPhone starts at 5500 Yuan ($828) and increase to approximately 8000 Yuan ($1204) for the 16Gb model and even more for the 32Gb version.  Not only are these very high prices, the iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4.1 installed which is locked to AT&T.

Samsung has officially launched it’s latest mobile phone, the Galaxy S Continuum Phone.  The Continuum runs on Android 2.1 (Eclair) platform.  The one thing that sets the Continuum apart from other phones is that it now has a smaller dedicated screen for live ticker display.  The Continuum has 2 screens, the bigger main 3.4 inch Super Amoled touch screen and the smaller screen, also on Amoled.  The live ticker is fully customizable, you can choose which tickers to display, whether it be sports or news, you choose!

The Continuum will have the Eclair browser, which according to Samsung, will give you faster internet connections and quicker connections.  For all you video buffs, the Samsung Continuum will be able to play DivX and XVid HD videos, not only will it be able to play these formats, it will also be able to record videos in high resolution.  Battery life is at a descent 7 hours of talk time and 312 hours stand by time.

The usual connectivity options is built in the Samsung Continuum, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB.  Not only that, the phone will have built in GPS.

The Continuum is currently available from Verizon at $200 with plan.

No, it’s not the Nexus S, according to a presentation slide presumably from Samsung, they will be releasing their flagship phone by February of 2011.  According to the presentation, the phone will have a 4.5 inch WGA sAMOLED2 screen.  We’re not sure yet what sAMOLED2 means but the most logical definition is…  Super AMOLED 2, which means that Samsung has made improvements to the already brilliant and attractive AMOLED screen found in earlier versions of their high end phones particularly on the Galaxy S.

The Samsung Flagship phone is expected to run on the Android Gingerbread operating system and will be equipped with an 8 mega pixel camera which will be able to capture 1080p video, 14.4 Mbps HSPA, Bluetooth 3.0, probably a 1.2 GHZ processor and 16 GB built in memory.  According to the presentation, the flagship phone will have an ultra sleek design.  So, for those of you wanting to purchase the Nexus S, you should probably wait until February next year for this flagship phone.

Their reputation and sales have been under hot water for quite a while now since their sales record took a big dive and countries like Saudia Arabia and UAE threatened to block their service due to their encryption policy.

A clone of iOS 4, not the iOS 4 itself has been made for devices like HTC mobile, which gives a feeling of using iOS 4 on a HTC phone. The OS offers complete features including spotlight, quick app switching, keyboard, folders etc.

Its like running the original iOS 4 there, but obviously you won’t have any access to Apple app store, or any of their other proprietary services, but its cool for just using it on your HTC cellphone for a change.

Its performance is a total disappointment, 9to5Mac relates it to the performance of iPhone 3G on iOS 4. See the video below for a complete demonstration of iOS 4 on HTC mobile:

Yup, thats right. Out of all the mobile manufacturers, its again the HTC that would now also manufacture mobile phones for Windows Phone 7. Rumor had it that HTC Gold or HTC HD3 might  have been the one chosen for Windows Phone 7 but now its HTC Schubert.

A video has been leaked over the internet showing HTC Schubert being the first Windows Phone 7 handset from HTC. The phone is believed to be revealed on the debut of Windows Phone 7 this year. The phone looks much like a HTC Legend with aluminum unibody and touch sensitive buttons at the bottom.

No word on its specs so far, but we are hoping the usuals, 1GHz processor with OMLED touchscreen and dual camera. Check out this demo video of HTC Schubert for more details:

Well, it seems the new Blackberry Torch phone is off to a not-too-spectacular launch. The first three days of sales have seen the price halved, and now we know why.

Analysts at RBC Capital Markets and Stifel Nicolaus both put weekend sales at around 150,000 phones for the AT&T Exclusive RIM Blackberry Torch, according to The Wall Street Journal. The paper suggests the “plodding start isn’t great news for RIM,” with the iPhone selling roughly 1.6 million units during its first four days on sale.

Gizmodo argues those sale numbers still aren’t awful, given they roughly matched Palm Pre and HTC EVO 4G launch numbers, but they certainly don’t match the hype RIM tried to create; their CEO Jim Balsillie calling the smartphone “a quantum leap over anything that’s out there.”

The good news? If you like the Torch, it’s already on sale in many locations.Get more on the latest updates, announcements and news from Microsoft, Google and Apple by following updates on our new twitter or facebook page.

Research in Motion slashed the price of its new BlackBerry Torch 9800 down to $99 to boost flagging sales against rival handsets, such as the iPhone 4.

The new $99 price, with a two-year contract with AT&T, is for sale on Amazon and other Websites, while AT&T still has it listed for $199.

Several reviewers noted that although the BlackBerry Torch 9800 was RIM’s newest phone, it felt much like the older versions. Perhaps that’s because BlackBerry users are believed not to like much change, and the Torch was seen more as a stop-gap measure than as something revolutionary for RIM. At any rate, it was unlikely to attract iPhone or Android fans.

Not to be outdone by the HTC EVO 4G, motorolla has decided to release the Android 2.2 ‘froyo’ update on its new Droid X in early september, while the many rumors surrounding an earlier release are quashed, citing performance and better stability issues.

The new update should bring all the new Android 2.2 mojo to the new Motorolla Droid X, including the new  over-the-air syncing features, better exchange support, and a slew of performance upgrades.
