Sprint hasn't had any new Berries in quite a while. The carrier missed out on the Storm and the Bold although it did launch its iDEN Curve a while ago. But if you happen to be a Sprint customer with a hidden passion for RIM's BlackBerries then you are in luck. The company will launch the BlackBerry Niagara in Q1 2009. Or so the people say.
The Niagara is a CDMA version of the Bold and it features a full-QWERTY keyboard, 480x360 display, EV-DO Rev. A and aGPS support, WiFi and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Since it's just a rumor for now we don't have any details regarding actual arrival dates and pricing.

It's not Wal-Mart who's going to bring you a $99 8GB iPhone but it's AT&T. And it's not a 4GB version but an 8GB version that AT&T is going to sell for $99. How's that possible you ask? Those 8GB iPhone 3G are refurbished ones. They will come with a 2-year contract and the $100 discount I've just told you about.
And in case your mind keeps wondering about refurbished 16GB iPhones then you'll be happy to know AT&T will offer you the same $100 discount for them. A $16GB iPhone 3G with a 2-year contract will sell for $199. Just make sure you check the iPhone you're going to choose! You wouldn't want it damaged in any way!

If you still believe in Philips phones than you should take a look at the new Philips Xenium 9@9q Dragon and Phoenix which are here for the holidays. The phones look good but that's pretty much all you can expect from them. The two clamshell phones will offer you about 1 month of standy time and up to 8 hours of talk time. Both also have a cool external display which will show you unread messages, missed calls and battery power. The phones cost 4999 Russian rubles or $172. A little too expensive for what it has to offer.

Nokia 6208c is inspired from the 6708, the first touchscreen phone with a built-in keypad. And now the handset has been displayed on the Chinese site of Nokia. It will sport Nokia's S40 OS and it will have both the full alphanumeric keypad and a 2.4 inch touschreen display. We don't know if it's a capacitive or resistive screen but the stylus present will suggest it's a resistive one.
Other specs include tri-band EGSM 900/1800/1900, Bluetooth 2.0, support for tethering, a 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and dual-LED flash and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The phone will be available in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, India, the Middle East and North Africa but the price hasn't been revealed yet.

The Samsung i8510 Innov8 might be closer to us than we think. The phone has just passed through the FCC and North American customers might see it arrive from AT&T and/or Rogers soon. The American model will come with dual 850/1900 3G support which means you will have great data support in case you want to mail lots of photos taken with that 8 megapixel camera. As always, we don't have expected arrival dates or pricing just yet.

It feels like only yesterday I was telling you about the last Nokia 8800. Oh, wait a minute, I did do that! Nokia 8800 Gold Arte was the last 8800 we knew about at the time. Today however we found out there's a Goldstriker 8800 from Nokia. The Princess Edition will be released in January and it will cost £12,000. I guess those 8.2 carat diamonds, the platinum and the leather finish are pretty expensive. Make sure you head to Paris at the Colette store to get a Princess Edition when it will be available next year.

Released earlier this fall, Motorola's Krave ZN4 from Verizon Wireless joins a strong crowd of competitors in the U.S. touch screen phone market. Unlike the Apple iPhone or the latest BlackBerry Storm, the Krave is no smartphone, but it offers features and design that is unique in its own right.M
The Krave touts not one, but two innovative touch screens, a one-of-a-kind design and superior multimedia services including live television from Verizon's VCAST Mobile TV, Rhapsody music service and the VZ Navigator GPS application.
Despite being a flip phone, the Krave's transparent cover only enhances the phone's vibrant 2.8-inch TFT LCD screen underneath. Additional highlights include a 2.0-megapixel camera, MP3 music player software, 3.5mm headset jack, full QWERTY keyboard and Bluetooth 2.0
