Apparently, Rogers is planning to release the HTC Touch2 which will come with WinMo 6.5 pre-installed. There's not much else to say, since it should have the same specs with the inclusion of North American 3G. We don't know the pricing and release details, so we'll have to wait of course.

Asus looks like they're not stopping with their 5738DG 3D notebook since we've just got word that they have two more 3D notebooks in the works. One will be a 15.6-inch G51J3D and the other will be a 17.3-inch behemoths-sized G72GX. The G72GX should sport a high-end Nvidia GPU, but we'll like see this in the smaller G51J3D notebook as well. Both of these 3D notebooks will be equipped with: an Intel Core i7 CPU and various HDD options of course.
The 15.6-inch G51J3D notebook will be available next month (December), but you'll have to wait until Q2 2010 for the 17.3-inch G72GX. Pricing hasn't been mentioned yet.

Nvidia Tegra 2 To Launch in 2010, Double the Power Of Original Tegra
It's been mentioned before, but it looks like Nvidia is really looking to push out their Tegra 2 for a launch sometime in 2010. The Tegra 2 will likely bring "twice the computational and graphics power of the first-gen chipset. Apparently Tegra 2 will be based on the dual-core ARM9 CPU, where the existing Tegra uses the ARM11 platform." As usual, let's play the waiting game.Android-Based Dell Mini 3iX Passes the FCC, Headed To AT&T Next Year

It looks like a new handset that we know will get launched in the US - on AT&T - has just passed the FCC. It's the Dell Mini 3iX that was spotted earlier this week with 3G and WiFi support. Yes, this handset that passed the FCC has 850 / 1900 MHz bands. This year is coming to an end so will this handset really be AT&T's first Android handset? Anyways, you can check out the FCC filing here.

I'm pretty LG will be wise enough to include a touchscreen display larger than 3-inches on this handset, since they only have the BL40 that exceeds the 3-inch display mark. I'll likely still favour the XPERIA X10 over this handset though because I doubt LG could make a monster phone.

AT&T looks like they could be launching a white BlackBerry Curve 8900 in the near future. Personally, I like the black model better, but some people prefer the lighter shade. Anyways, I'd rather just get the Bold 9700 over this.

After one of the biggest Canadian handset and network launches in history, this isn't exactly big news. Fido looks like they'll be launching the Nokia 2720 Fold in the next couple of weeks. As you can see in the above photo the handset on the right has a "Coming Soon" sticker plastered on it, yes, that's the Nokia 2720. This phone will be available for free on a 2-year contract, but you'll also be able to get it for $125 contract-free or prepaid.

We heard about these rumours at the beginning of the week, but apparently, we could see Lenovo launch this ThinkPad x100e / x200e early next year - January 5, 2010 to be exact. Along with this rumoured news, we're also hearing some possible specs.
This netbook could feature: a 12.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, 3GB of RAM, HDD / SSD options, and optional Gobi 3G. The processor and graphics options appear to be either an AMD Athlon Neo 1.6GHz CPU with ATI Radeon HD3410 graphics or an Intel Centrino 2 1.4GHz ULV CPU with integrated GMA 4500MHD graphics.
HTC "Carefully" Planning To Jump Into Netbook Category
HTC's CEO, Peter Chou, has just mentioned that they are considering stepping into the netbook world, but they are being "careful" in doing so. HTC already has a couple of UMPC's available that are slightly smaller than smartbooks, so it would be a bit of a jump. Chou mentioned that they're going to try to be unique since they don't want to create a typical netbook, which is fair. We'll see what happens.

According to good ol' Digitimes, Asus is going to be unveiling their first set of netbooks running on Intel (Pine Trail) Atom N450 CPUs at CES 2010. One of the netbooks they'll be showing off is the Eee PC T101H, which I'll actually classify as a tablet netbook since it'll have a touchscreen display. At CES, they'll also unveil more ultrathin notebooks and (possibly) along with that smartbook we've been hearing about. We'll also likely see the Asus Eee Keyboard PC, it'll launch at around the $500 price point.
At CeBIT, they'll be unveiling more netbooks but these will be running on the faster Intel (Pine Trail) Atom N470 CPUs.

You should know the Samsung Highlight in the US by now, but now we know that this handset is now available in Canada - on Bell for $79 (here). It has a different name though, the Samsung Impact. The specs are the exact same, so expect: a 3-inch touchscreen display, a 3MP camera, 3G connectivity, aGPS / Bluetooth support, 60MB of internal memory, and a microSD card slot.
Three Dell Adamo XPS Prototypes, One With a Multitouch LCD Touchpad
We all know about the 9.99mm thin Dell Adamo XPS notebook, but do you ever wonder what it could've been? I like to see company prototypes and this is probably one of the most interesting ones. Apparently, Dell's prototypes for the Adamo XPS actually included multitouch capacitive LCD touchpads - as you can see above. Another prototype is the red one below that actually had the notebook's ports in a "pop-up panel."
The last prototype, below, actually has capacitive touch buttons and Dell decided not to go with this design because "people wouldn't react well to a keyboard that doesn't move" which is pretty true.

T-Mobile UK Launching the HTC HD2 On November 23rd?
WMPowerUser talks about the HTC HD2 a whole lot, but I don't blame them. They seem to be reporting that T-Mobile UK will be launching this handset around the November 23rd date. There's not much news about it, but we should be seeing it by the end of this year - the end of this month if we're lucky enough.
MOTO Announces Android 2.0-Based MID With 5-Inch OLED Display, TI OMAP CPU, and 8MP Camera
