It’s not hard to find Nokia users that believe the E71 is the finest S60 device (if not the finest device, period) that the company has ever made, so expectations for the E72 are at a stratospheric high. Impatience for a retail release is also at a stratospheric high, coincidentally, so Americans will be pleased to see that Amazon now has the unlocked North American version of the “zodium black” phone listed for $469 — without a release date, unfortunately, so it’s still a guessing game as to when these will actually be shipping out. All things considered, it’s not a bad price for an unbranded phone of the E72’s capabilities, but when you figure how easy it’s been to find awesome deals on North American Nokias around the interwebs this year, it still might give some potential buyers pause — just imagine if it were $299?

We’ll withhold judgment until we have a far more intimate encounter with the device, but at a glance, the HTC Pure — AT&T’s branded, customized version of the Touch Diamond2 — might carry the least-exciting industrial design of any variant launched thus far. Considering the business-oriented clientele, that might not be a big deal for the phone’s bottom line — but when you take a look at the slightly better-equipped Imagio that’s about to launch over on Verizon, we would’ve liked to have seen something with a little more spunk here. At any rate, it seems Pure units are starting to flow into AT&T retail locations, which inevitably leads to some time in front of the bright lights and camera; AT&T was mentioned as one of Microsoft’s global launch partners for Windows Mobile 6.5 on October 6, so if we connect the dots, we’re guessing this is the phone that’s gonna make it all happen. So where’s that Touch Pro2, then, eh?

Even though we have yet to see the long-hinted 100GB and 200GB prototype Blu-ray discs as real products, TDK is looking beyond that, ready to display 320GB ten-layer platters at CEATEC 2009 that can be read and written with current blue laser technology. Key in stacking so many layers is improving the transmittance of the outermost layer as seen above – that nearly clear one on the right doesn’t require a more powerful laser to get through. The only thing we can’t see? When or if any of these will actually be released.

Okay, so we’ve been hearing whispers all morning that Palm and Sprint are gearing up to launch the Pixi on October 20th, and while we hate to be the bearer of bad news, we’ve been in contact with sources who would definitely have a better perspective on this phone’s launch, and the word is that the aforementioned date is not accurate. So when will the Pixi launch? We’d still say it’ll be well before the holidays — and now that the Pre is down to $79, we’re hoping it’ll be super cheap. Fingers crossed.
Palm Pixi to launch on October 20th? Not so fast. originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:59:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
