- Are Wireless Network Operators Protecting Your Privacy? Nope. Verizon CEO Punk'd
By Eric Zeman
All enterprises should be concerned with the security of the mobile devices
their employees carry. Not only is sensitive work information stored on there,
but so is personal information. At some point, however, others have to be
trusted to provide secure services and protect enterprise and end-user information.
One customer not satisfied with the way wireless companies are protecting --
or not protecting -- our data took his fight to the front lawn of Verizon CEO
Ivan Seidenberg.

- TerreStar Satellite Test With Windows Mobile Phone
By Ed Hansberry
TerreStar has announced that they have successfully completed a call using
mobile handsets with their recently launched satellite. How does a phone network
sound that would be accessible from virtually anywhere?

- Please Stop Making Watch Phones
By Marin Perez
So, Samsung introduced the "world's thinnest" watch phone today, and it does
have a ton of features. While there's some Dick Tracy-inspired appeal, I really
don't think we need these types of phones.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=88&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- HTC Adopting Qualcomm's BREW Platform, Ramping Up Android Mix
By Eric Zeman
HTC is known chiefly for its Windows Mobile smartphones. It also happens to be
the only company with Android handsets for sale at the moment. Why, then, would
it dip its toes into the mass market by adopting Qualcomm's BREW platform?
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=85&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Samsung Mobile Internet Device Runs Windows Mobile 6.1
By Ed Hansberry
Samsung will be shipping its mobile internet device (MID) sometime in August.
It will run Windows Mobile 6.1 and be capable of using WiFi and WiMAX, but
won't have any cellular capabilities nor any voice calling features.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=72&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- BlackBerry Storm 2 Has 'Clicking' SurePress Touchscreen
By Eric Zeman
File this under: "Oh Snap!" The spy shots seen earlier this year of the
BlackBerry Storm 2 appeared to indicate that the much-maligned clicking
SurePress touchscreen was gone. A new video reveals, however, that the clicking
screen is still there, much to the bemoaning of the Interwebs.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=92&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Toshiba TG01 Passes Through FCC
By Marin Perez
Beyond things like the Palm Pre and the BlackBerry Tour, AT&T seems to get the
good smartphones. That may be changing though, as the Toshiba TG01 has passed
through the FCC for a CDMA carrier (Sprint or Verizon), and this phone is a
beast.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=56&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Report: Zer01 May Be Vaporware Afterall
By Eric Zeman
Remember Zer01? It recently announced the launch of its new, national unlimited
wireless voice and data services for $70 per month without actually launching
any services. Why not, you ask? Because the whole organization appears to be
nothing but smoke and mirrors.

- BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 Available To Everyone
By Eric Zeman
An unofficial version of BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 has been leaked and it is
compatible with most BlackBerry smartphones. The new software offers a host
of improved features for the mobile messaging maniacs out there.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=1&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Windows Mobile 6.5's UI Fixes Run Deep
By Ed Hansberry
We've all seen pictures and even video of Microsoft's new Windows Mobile
6.5 platform that shows big fat menus that even the pudgiest of fingers
could manipulate. I was worried though that this feature might only be skin
deep, but it seems MS has made a real effort to make the feature available
throughout the device.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=9&m=33702005&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NTM3NTkzODcS1&mt=1&rt=0
- Verizon To Limit Device Exclusivity Agreements
By Ed Hansberry
Verizon is going to be shortening the time it keeps an exclusivity agreement
for a particular device for the benefit of smaller cellular carriers around
the country, namely those with 500,000 subscribers or less. That's good new
for those that don't need a national carrier.
