Nokia E71 all up in AT&T's labs

EDGE only?

I thought AT&T was going to have an all 3G lineup very soon?

Dell busts out 20-inch UltraSharp 2009W LCD

You would get a 22 inch monitor, though.

Swiss send ludicrous number of texts on Christmas, Christmas Eve

Dec 27th 2007 5:23AM on Engadget Mobile

Costa Ricans are not behind, believe it or not. According to Grupo ICE (the sole provider of cellular service in Costa Rica), a total of 87 million SMS messages were sent between the 24th and the 25th.

Here's the link: http://www.teletica.com/archivo/tn7/nac/2007/12/26/27725.htm (in Spanish though)

Considering Costa Rica has just over 4 million people, that would be an average of over 20 messages per person. And if you just take into account subscribers, that's a whopping 50+ messages per subscriber.

Of course, each message costs only $0.003, so even if you send 150 messages you wouldn't even spend 50 cents.

Sprint raising SMS rates yet again, prevents contract breakage

Aug 23rd 2007 12:41PM on Engadget Mobile

In Costa Rica I can literally send 70 text messages with that same amount. Sure, overall service is not wonderful here but hey... I pay $0.003 for each SMS (only outgoing).

Hacking e-voting machines can be hard, Diebold shows you how

Jan 25th 2007 9:51PM on Engadget

Plus, the Brazilian voting machines are made by a company called Procomp, which -funny enough- was bought in 1999 by... Diebold.

Nokia N83 shot and specs

May 2nd 2006 9:47PM on Engadget Mobile

The N80's resolution is 352 x 416 pixels, so it's highly unlikely that N83 would be worse than that.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
