You nicely dressed dudes in your fancy cars have to stay connected at all times right? Even when diving? The underwater cellphone should come in handy then. It comes with a built-in speaker and microphone on the Neptune Space full face mask.

You also get a 40-meter cable which can be modified to accommodate just about any request. A quick release waterproof rubber connection lets the diver separate from the cable anytime they want.

One of the things that has many iPhone users angered is that while the iPhone has tethering capability, AT&T has blocked the feature. I can only imagine how angry the users would be if they had been able to tether the iPhone for years and the feature was cancelled without notice. Sprint has done just that for some of its customers.

A poster going by kevinapg has posted at the Sprint Blogs that the ability to tether his Blackberry handset has been blocked. The poster states that for years tethering has been supported through the Sprint Smartview software.

I haven’t used a home phone line in years other than for DSL. I make and receive all the calls I get on my mobile phone. If you still use your landline for placing and receiving calls and you want to get the contacts list from your mobile onto the home phone VTech has the product for you.

VTech has announced the first home phone called the DS6321-3 that sells for $99.95. The handset can connect to your mobile phone via Bluetooth and download the contacts and phone numbers from your mobile to the landline.

Is it a camera or a phone? Samsung’s latest is a 3G cellphone in a 12 megapixel camera. Just as Darth Vader is more machine than man, this M8920 / SCH-W880 is more camera than phone. Certainly more camera than most 12 megapixel cameraphones are. It’s not official yet, but the announcement will come soon.

The most interesting aspects of this one are the extending 3x optical zoom and the dedicated camera controls like a mode dial, shutter and zoom, along with a 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED display. Some other specs are HD (720p?) video, HSDPA data, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, microSD slot, and DMB mobile television.

Of all the features, you could add to my smartphone, at the top of the list of features I really want is easier charging. It’s not difficult mind you to plug in a cable, it’s just inconvenient since I always have to climb around under the desk looking for it after it inevitably falls off.

I want to walk in and lay the phone down to charge and be done. We have seen this type of wireless charging system before from WildCharge. Duracell is now peddling a line of Smartpower devices including one called the myGrid charging pad. The pad lets users charge multiple devices by just laying them on the pad.

Safaricom out of Kenya has rolled out its latest solar-powered cellphone dubbed the Simu ya Solar. The handset was constructed using recycled materials, while an integrated solar panel makes sure that your phone always have some spare juice.

This one is great for users who are in rural areas where electricity is hard to find and sunlight is plentiful. Another benefit for those users is that even if they do have access to electricity, they will save money by letting the sun do it’s thing rather than charging it and wasting resources.

Soon Dell Netbooks, specifically the Dell Mini 10, will be available with a $69 Wireless 700 Card which will make the netbook navigation capable, just like your smartphone. The Wi-Fi enabled card would let you navigate just like with other devices.

The Wireless 700 card uses a combination of Broadcom’s GPS technology and Skyhook Wireless’ Wi-Fi positioning solutions. The integrated navigation software will provide 2D and 3D map viewing and will help save addresses for trip and route optimization. Users could also geo-tag photos to flickr and get weather updates for a specific location.

We first told you about this one back in May. Samsung has finally rolled out the odd SCH-W760 cellphone in South Korea. It’s the first handset in the world to come with an infrared camera. Very handy if you want to do video calls in low-light situations like a strip-club, or while hunting for Bigfoot in the wild.

It also has a 3-megapixel camera and 2.8″ AMOLED display with 240 x 400 resolution. Some other features of the SCH-W760 include 8GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, S-DMB TV support and high speed 3G connectivity.

Video conferencing is becoming an increasingly important part of business communication in the poor economic climate around the world. In better years, companies would just fly employees to a conference to talk business, but now many use video instead.

Samsung has announced a new stand alone video conferencing LCD that is called the VC240. The device can also be used as a Pc display. The screen is 24-inches in size and it uses V2oIP for communications and is fully compatible with other VoIP systems.

Nokia just announced the brand new Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-905, which they are hailing as “the best headset ever made”. I don’t know about that, but the BH-905 allows users to either make calls or listen to music, “with virtually any compatible phone or music device.”

It also features active noise cancellation technology from Wolfson Microelectronics (along with a switch for turning it on/off), 10 microphones (8 for canceling noise and 2 for capturing speech), a dedicated multifunction key for call management, and music/volume controls.

Samsung is recalling 160,000 Jitterbug cellphones. The handsets targeted seniors they want them back since they are missing one very important feature. They don’t connect to 911 services whenever the handset is out of their service area.

Jitterbug owners get an “out of range, try again later” message instead of help. The recall will apply to SPH-a110 and SPH-a120 Jitterbug models that are equipped with standard keys and were sold between March 2008 and May 2009. Owners of the OneTouch model don’t have to worry since that handset is not affected.

Looks like LG will be releasing a new 12-megapixel cell phone later in the year. Take it with a grain of salt, but it could very well happen. 12-megapixels will likely replace the new 8-megapixel camera phones that are all over the market.

Sure, the lens isn’t up to par with those of a standard digital camera, but it’s always a march forward. Lens tech will just have to catch up. Who cares if those extra MP are useless?

Coveroo has announced their latest update to their line of laser engraved backplates for cellphones and Blackberries. New HighColor printing processes will be used for accuracy and some brilliant color. The design won’t fade, rub off or get dirty like skins.

You can swap out your existing backplate fo a custom one from Coveroo’s catalog of licensed brands. Everything from vintage images of Beverly Hills 90210 to Resident Evil. You can also get the new Marvel Collection and NBA logos, which will be the first to be using this new color technology. The Marvel characters are Wolverine, Hulk, Captain America, Spiderman, and Thor.

Android is the hottest netbook OS around. All the cool kids are doing it. And today it looks like we can add another cool kid to that list. Averatec CEO Tae-Hyun Cho says that the company will ship a new netbook with a “surprise” OS.

One that combines “cell phone and PC technology”, which we should see in August or September. That’s all we know, but it looks like it will be cheap since Averatec is positioning itself to take advantage of thrifty consumers.

Bluetooth has become one of the most important wireless specifications on the market. We find Bluetooth in all sorts of devices today from printers and cell phones to computer mice and more. The Bluetooth SIG has been working for a long time on the newest Bluetooth specification known as Bluetooth 3.0.

This week the Bluetooth SIG officially adapted the Bluetooth 3.0 specification officially called Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + High Speed. The new specification boosts speeds by linking traditional Bluetooth with an 802.11 radio allowing for up to 24Mbps of data transmission.
