AT&T Flat Call Rate $50 In United States Starts In San Francisco


For the last 24 hours, news has been spreading across the blogosphere via Engadget of the flat call rate of AT&T. It costs $50 per month for unlimited call. The requirements are that you live in San Francisco, and already been a subscriber of AT&T for 22 months, with "good standing". I suppose it simply means you always pay the bill on time, and an average user in terms of the monthly billing value.

It is still unknown whether this flat rate will continue to spread to other major cities nationwide. The era of mass telecommunication service has truly began with this lowered cost, as previously Boost also offered the same flat rate. In the future, data transfer is likely to be the source of revenue for carriers. Well, San Franciscoers better be happy for this, as they can spend hours and hours in their cell with their loved ones! Yaay!! :)

Motorola E11 Or E12 Pics Leaked In A Chinese Blog


The next Rokr may be just around the corner. UnwiredView spotted several pics of suspected Motorola E11 or E12. The pics are from China. Sample is below.

Although in my opinion, this pic is not very convincing (look at that dirt or sort of worn-out paint in the phone), yet this is very interesting to talk about. It is said to have touchscreen, touch sensitive buttons, and 3,2 MP camera. Let's hope this is not a fake Chinese phone.

Perhaps this will not be a smartphone, considering the history of E-series, that is more mid-end. Let's have a watch on this. In the next few weeks or months, there should be more development.

Bad breath medicine, or check it first with Nokia N95


If you have bad breath, what will you do. Perhaps you take a mouthwash like Listerine. And it's gone. Or may be you go to a doctor, if the bad breath does not go away. But, this is a high tech era, so your phone might be just the right assistance.

With Nokia N95 equipped with the bad-breath chip detector technology from AND, now your Nokia N95 can detect bad breath and tells you what's wrong with your body, based on the smart sensor chip inside your phone. There will be a small hole created that you can blow into, to enable the scanning.

It can scan what gases contained in your breath, and then gives option whether you would like to wirelessly notify your physician, and show you what disease you have.

I am not sure this will be very popular among youths. But may be among adult people like age 40 and above, this application can be very useful.

HTC TouchPro 2 Will Be Available Worlwide


HTC has announced via its Twitter that the upcoming HTC TouchPro2 will be available worldwide. This time the TouchPro2 looks much more ergonomic, with rounded edges, and also with the HTC-pioneered horizontal sliding keypad.

There are no news of its features yet, but we'd better expect standard smartphone features such as office document editors, HSDPA, Win-mo 6.5, Wifi, Bluetooth, fast processor and big ram. Also interesting to think about the megapixel camera. Following HTC's comment on the megapixel race, we can expect the camera will be around 5-6 mp and no more.

Well, let's wait for this baby rolling!
