Backbeat the word is on the street that video of the Nokia 6600 Slide is out. I know you’ve seen it all before but why not check it out.

Expectation surrounding the release of the Motorola ZN5 Motozine centers around suspicions that it will feature the 5 megapixel Kodak camera and these live pics look like proof positive the ZN5 is one to beat.

Another 5 mp camera in a crowded marketplace with leaders such as Nokia N95 and LG Viewty maintaining a firm grip ma seem daunting for the suffering manufacturer but with Kodak onboard and Xenon Flash and auto-focus the first 5mp from Motorola may just open a new door.

There have been almost as many rumors surrounding the XPERIA X1 from Sony Ericsson as there have been surrounding the 3G iPhone but rest easy, leaked documents suggest a release in September.

Given the confusion surrounding the launch date here and here, we will need confirmation from the big wigs at Sony themselves but this correspondence between the manufacturer and Handango looks like good news for those waiting with expectant hands.

If you are not sure what all the fuss is about check out the video of the X1 here.

There has been a resurgence in interest in HTC leading up to the launch of its Q2 phones on May 6th, the HTC Diamond, Raphael and Dream. New live pics of the Diamond have surfaced and things look promising.

With the inevitable deluge of 3G iPhone leaks comes few new surprises, live photos and diagrams hint at what can be expected from the forthcoming release.

While the blogosphere is crying ‘bs’ or ’shopped’ on the leaked photos of the iPhone more curious and tentative intimations are being made diagrams of the second coming of the Apple messiah.

The diagram is a result of information forwarded to case manufacturer’s and for comparison the current edition is on the top and left.

Alternatively if you’ve already had a gutful of the Apple horse and Pony show why not opt out altogether and go for the farmyard hijinks of the Toggolino Phone iClone…come on don’t fight it, give in.
