Rumor: Plethora Of Android Phones On The Way From Orange
Fair warning: a new tale concerning Google’s Android operating system actually started in another language and remains unconfirmed.

Flagship Phones Boosting Sales On Carrier Web Sites
comScore has released data from its monthly wireless ecommerce dashboard, which tracks consumer shopping and purchasing behavior, including handsets and mobile data plans, at all of the major wireless carrier sites.
In terms of overall dollar sales on the carriers’ Web sites, the flagship phones being sold were significant revenue generators.

Utilizing Phones For Different Purposes
Everywhere I go I carry three phones now: 1. iPhone. 2. Nokia N95. 3. Nokia N82. I also have a Blackjack II Windows Mobile smartphone that I occassionally carry.

Cerf: Cell Phones To Drive Internet Growth
There are about 5.5 billion people on the planet. Roughly 2.5 billion of them use cell phones.
Only 1.1 billion surf the Web.
So when Vinton G. Cerf, who currently serves as Google’s vice president, states that mobile phones will fuel the growth of the Internet, well . . . maybe we should believe him.
“The mobile phone has become an important factor in the Internet revolution,” said Cerf. “You will get those other 5.5 billion people only when affordability increases and the cost of communication goes down.”
Smart Phones for Smart Bloggers
I have noted a couple of times before that Nokia sent out phones and internet tablets in the past to some bloggers.
