It looks like Nokia fans on T-Mobile will have more choice than the Nuron and some low-end candybar phones next month. A tipster has sent a screenshot to TmoNews that shows off the new Nokia E73, named the “Mode” for T-Mobile, that shows a photo of the device and says it will be arriving on June 16. The E73 Mode will support 3G and Wi-Fi as well as Wi-Fi calling and it looks like it has a similar physical QWERTY keyboard and optical d-pad as the E72. Other information, like pricing, is unknown at this time but we’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

It seems that the Samsung i5500 could very well be the first Corby handset from the South Korean manufacturer that runs on the Android 2.1 operating system. Basically, we’ve more or less lost track of the number of Corby handsets that there are out there, but so far none of them sport the Android platform. The Samsung GT-i5500 which was recently approved by the Wi-Fi alliance, will reportedly come with GPS support, 3G and Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in touchscreen display, and a photo camera. It has already been approved by the FCC,

One poor Nexus One phone is pushed to runs Windows 3.11. In the finest DOSBox tradition, one gentleman recently imbued his Googlephone with Windows 3.11, by far our favorite 1993 Microsoft OS. Realizing the futility of getting it to do anything — ah, memories — he set about crafting a step-by-step guide for you to do the same.

As expected, the official-looking Windows Phone 7 OS ROM leaked over the weekend is already yielding results. Pictured above is an image extracted from the “oemavatar.cab.” Now that could be a generic Windows Phone 7 image or it could be the HTC Mondrian already seen referenced by the 100MB file. The kids at XDA-Developers have also pieced together specs from an ongoing analysis of the registry and RGU files.
