Motorola’s Photon 4G will be released on Sprint’s network July 31st this summer which should be welcome news for Sprint users. Coming in at the usual on contract price of $200, this is one of the most loaded phones we’ve seen to date. Motorola is targeting both the consumer and business market with the device by offering remote wipe, the ability to plug in your phone to a laptop dock a la the Atrix and Sprint ID to add a litle more personality to your Motoblur features.

Here’s what it’s packing under the hood:

• Gingerbread
• Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz CPU
• 1GB Ram, 4.3″ qHD display
• 2 cameras (8 megapixel rear)
• 16GB of on board memory.

This and the Evo 3D should keep subscribers loyal to Sprint as the carrier battles the AT&T/T-Mobile merger and fends off the pending iPhone 5 release.

Here’s a video review from LapTop Magazine:

Motorola announced today that they will launch the 2.0 version of their popular DROID X smartphone on May 26th in stores, with preorders starting tomorrow. Typical pricing applies, with the handset coming in at $199.99 on a two year contract. Motorola seems to have juiced up the phone over the previous version, giving it a 8 megapixel camera with built-in HD video capture support, a HDMI-out port and a dual-core 1GHz processor run by Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This all fits under a 4.3″ touchscreen and needless to say, is capable of “double the does” in the world of Droid.

If you’re looking to upgrade tomorrow, don’t forget you can get up to$146 for your old Droid X right here at BUYBACKWORLD -  that means the device will only cost you $50 out of pocket! Did we say we offer FREE Shipping too! Enjoy!

Apple is going to make everything official with its iPad 2 tomorrow by holding a media event in San Francisco. While there have been rumors swirling since the original iPad hit the market, here are some things that seem to be no brainers for the new iPad:

• Front Facing 1.3 MegaPixel camera for FaceTime HD
• 2-3 MegaPixel rear facing camera
• Out of the box support for both Verizon and AT&T networks (think iPhone 5 dual functionality)
• Dual-core Apple processor
• Much thinner and lighter unit (think MacBook Air)
• 512MB of RAM
• Increased Battery Life
• Availability starting mid March with entry level price points of $399

So there you have it – look for the update tomorrow at 1PM EST – as soon as we know, you’ll know. Looking to offset the cost of upgrading your iPad? Look no further than BuyBackWorld, where we’re paying up to 20% more than the competition!

Today at their annual Blackberry Developer’s Conference, RIM introduced their version of a tablet PC: The Playbook. Not even a day old yet and already the comparisons have begun: The iPad vs The Playbook.

Here’s what we know so far: The tablet will make use of a QNX Operating System which will support both open source and web standard development sources. RIM is hoping that this combination will make the tablet more competitive in the rapidly growing gaming department for both publishers and players alike while also allowing it to target business users. Here’s some more specs:

• 7′, 1024 x 600 multitouch screen
• Dual-core 1GHz CPU
• 1GB RAM
• 3 megapixel front facing camera
• 5 megapixel rear facing camera
• 1080 HD video

The folks over at RIM have confirmed the device will indeed be capable of video conferencing. The Playbook is about 5 by 7 inches and weighs in at just under a pound while being only .4 inches thick. Rumors have it the device will come in 16GB and 32GB versions.

But wait, there’s more – the real WOW factor here is the Playbook’s ability to amplify what’s going on with your Blackberry via Bluetooth tethering. Anyone want to BBM on the big screen?

Thoughts? Are you guys excited out there? Let us know! Here’s the link off of RIM’s website. We’ll update with more as soon as we get it. In the mean time, add this to the list for an interesting holiday season – we’re certainly looking forward to it over here.

A new Motorola device has been spotted which will be heading to T-Mobile. The new touchscreen (what isn’t these days?) will be called the Defy and is made to defy the ailments apparently, as it claims to be not only scratch proof and water resistant, but dust proof to safeguard your phone for any condition it might find itself in. Here’s what else the rough and rugged ready to rumble phone will have:

• 3.7 inch WVGA screen – scratch/water resistant
• 5 megapixel camera with LED Flash
• “Flash-Lite” browser for full access to all Android apps
• CrystalTalk PLUS – dual microphones to filter out noisy backgrounds
• Available holiday time

No specifics on price yet, but look for it to retail in the $150-200 range with a 2 year contract. Let’s get ready to RRRRUUUUUUUMMMBBLLLEEE!

While looking over the T-Mobile website, we found some pretty cool information out. Apparently, the “revolution continues” with the new HTC G2. The reason it might be of interest to you? It will be the first device to go live on T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network meaning you’ll be cruising at 4G speeds in no time. What else does the device tout? Flash 10.1 and Android 2.2 of course! No exact release date yet, but here’s a quick rundown of the device’s known features:

• Android 2.2
• Adobe Flash Player 10.1
• 800 MHz Scorpion processor
• HSPA+ device

Upgrading from your original G1 Handset? Trade it in here! We’re paying out up to $64!!

**UPDATE: T-Mobile G2 gets a $150 price tag at Radioshack, $199.99 at BestBuy, available October 6**

Dell announced its second handset of the year today with the release of the device “Aero”. The device looks pretty good from the pictures, but we haven’t got our hands on one yet so cant offer much more than the basics. Word is the device comes in at only 3.67 ounces – very light amongst handsets these days. Here’s what the device is all about:

• 3.5″ 640 x 360 screen
• Android 1.5 with large amounts of customization
• 624 MHz processor
• 2GB included memory with microSD expansion
• 5 megapixel camera with 8x zoom
• Built in GPS for geotagging

Looking to get one? The only way to score one right now is to go directly through Dell, as AT&T’s website still says the device is “coming soon.” Picked one up? Let us know how you like it.
