Casio EXILIM W63CA

The Asians will never cease to amaze us. One of the latest phones from Casio is the EXILIM Keitai W63CA.

This “flip and twist” phone packs an 8.1 megapixel camera lens with 9-point autofocus and flash, and a 3.1in OLED display (480×800).

Casio is well known for their cameras here in America but not for their phones, so it would be very surprising that we would ever see this phone on our turf anytime soon.

BlackBerry Pearl Flip

Seems that RIM has revealed their latest Blackberry phone. Named the Kickstart at first, now it is being reffered to as the Pearl Flip. It is model number 8220 and from what I’ve been able to read, there will be a version with GPS and another version with WiFi but no version with both.

It’s been just a few months now that we have learned about the HTC Touch Diamond that we are now hearing about another HTC device: The HTC Touch HD.

Seems like HTC doesn’t want to be overtaken by the iPhone…
