Rumor Now! Storm 2 to hit in September.

Rumors start somewhere and take off like wildfire, sometimes true but most . . . not so much. SlashGear is reporting "someone close to the issue" told them to expect the next Blackberry touchscreen device everyone has labeled the Storm 2, sometime in September. Along with that the report also states and easier way of typing, and a 5MP camera . . . boy are we excited.

Lets be honest here, that is why we call this Rumor Now! so we can put this out there and see where it lands. The Storm came out with awesome marketing behind it and a following that was waiting for "The First Touchscreen Blackberry", but the reviews we held wanting. All I can say to RIM is this. RIM please do us all a favor here and make us a device worth spending 2 months rent on please, we can't get a two year price now with our Storms being 7 months old.

Video Now!: Toshiba TG01 protoype reviewed

The Toshiba TG01 is a beautiful device, hands down one of our favorites here at Mobile Now!. We found this video of the TG01 getting a hands on review from PocketPCItalia , that might be the reason why you may not understand the reviewer. The TG01 is still up in the air on the who, when, and how much info, but it is still nice to talk about . For the most part the TG01 has Windows Mobile for an operating system, but lets think of the VAST possibilities if it was running,say Google's AndroidOS, . . . oh man wouldn't that be sweet. I mean come one it is aching for it, but that is something for Google and Toshiba to talk about.

We would love to hear what you think would be best for the future of this device. Tell us anything. If your would like to see a 5MP camera with flash or like I said above, let us know. Get your creative juices following.

LG's VX11000 will officially be called the enV Touch

Well ladies and gents with Big Red, the LG VX11000 (spied above) has been leaked, not as the Voyager 2 as most of you thought, but as the new LG enV Touch. This handset will be replacing the old and out dated Voyager. The source (from PhoneArena) has also given up some of the specs on the device including the screen resolution being 480X800 for both screens, the external being touch the internal, well. . . not. They have also told them the device will have a 3.5mm jack, 3.omp camera with auto focus (Schneider Kreusnach lens), LED flash, stereo speakers, a qwerty keyboard (of course) and can use a microSDHC card up to 16GB. It is nice to see the enV evolving . . . just not into a Voyager, but we will see once tester models hit the blogoshpere for review.

Palm Pre with full Microsoft Office 7.

Inside Sprint now has released a FAQ call Palm Pre FAQ Round 2. In the FAQ some things come out that the palm pre will have a fully supported Microsoft Office 7 support, really, be able to work from your handset right from the comfort of a cab, plane, or just at a hotel. Makes it much easier without a labtop to just do it on the Pre itself. Also on the site it tells us that it will have the usual ringback tones, rintones and support for video recording and PictBridge printing. I like it, I would it more if I could see for myself. Come on Palm and Sprint release this already.
