Motorola's ROKR ZN50 touchscreen slider could be a winner {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 8th 2009 11:11PM It's even more ironic because they're American. To release something only in a non-home market is kind of a slap in the face, I think.

Jul 8th 2009 10:52PM Funny thing, that- Korea and China got a StarTAC II (but only Korea got the later StarTAC III). I had a StarTAC II. It wasn't a bad phone, but it would have been impossible to get working in America since America doesn't use R-UIMs (I had a Chinese one, the Korean ones can be activated old-style with some work).

iPhone facing potential trademark issues in China? {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 3rd 2009 5:42AM That may be their only choice- to do no more than have their repair centers and stores offer support to people with iPhones with any proof of purchase instead of selling them directly if this company (they make really crappy stuff, don't buy, srsly) sues or something.

In that respect (and others- if Congress was like its Taiwanese counterpart C-Span would have much higher ratings) the US could stand to learn from Taiwan.
Vodafone launches Europe's first 3G femtocell today {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 2nd 2009 5:03AM If it can be moved around to help negate roaming charges it would probably be worth the money.
China Mobile says 3G isn't winning hearts and minds yet {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 1st 2009 9:59AM Oh no, they put everything into marketing TD, believe me. It's just that the phone selection is crappy and most people already have UMTS-capable phones, making it cheaper to move to China Unicom and their HSPA service (I'm doing this).

Jul 1st 2009 9:57AM Um, re-enabling it is a trivial matter, and they've found loopholes to get around that.
