Exactly what the heck is this? Apparently it's the HTC Supersonic which will be like the HD2 with Android 2.1, [Sprint's] WiMAX, a 4.3-inch AMOLED display, a 5MP camera, and HTC's own Sense UI. Of course it'll have the 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. Keep in mind that this picture could be a fake, but could be what the face of the phone could look like. Terrible quality though.

Just this morning we heard about the possibility of O2 UK launching the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 and now we're hearing that Orange might launch it as well. Clearly, if this is the case, it won't be exclusive to one carrier overseas which is great news - the more options the better. It's been rumoured that the XPERIA X10 will be hitting Orange in March or April but the price is still TBD.

It won't exactly be the biggest news you'll hear all week but it looks like Canada's Bell Mobility is looking to launch the Samsung r100 (on the right) and the r330. They'll have a candybar and a flip phone form factor, respectively, and they're both "entry level phones". The price hasn't been mentioned yet but they should launch by the end of this quarter - before the end of March.

CES has already come and gone but it looks like some people are just scooping up some information now. Today we know that Case-Mate actually had a BlackBerry Curve 8910 at their booth - of course, showing off their new case. It's really not much different from the Curve 8900 but it does sport the optical trackpad, which I think is better than the trackball once you get used to it.

We saw a couple of devices with Nvidia's Tegra 2 graphics at CES 2010 a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like there'll be more to showcase at MWC 2010 this year. They'll be found in tablets and "other" devices as well. This could likely include netbooks / smartbooks, and we could possibly see them in smartphones as well - or MIDs. We'll just have to see what happens in 3 weeks time.

Acer looks like they've just outlined their plans for the rest of 2010 - for the most part. Acer has just mentioned that they'll be launching a 6-inch e-book reader with an e-ink display by the end of the year (better late than never?). Around the same time they'll be launching their own App Store and some netbooks with Chrome OS and even Android should be expected later this year. We'll likely see 1 or 2 netbooks running the Chrome OS from the Acer camp and they could be dual-booting Windows if they can.

After Apple's event on Wednesday they're also going to look into the tablet business if it's worth competing in. This is assuming Apple's tablet isn't going to blow everything else out of the water.

Panasonic's latest laptop may feature a 10.4-inch XGA display but you can't really call it a netbook considering the impressive spec sheet. This one's the Panasonic "Let's Note" R-Series (CF-R9JWACDR if we're getting specific). It looks like it has just been unveiled to feature an Intel Core i7-620 UM 1.06GHz CPU, up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, up to a 500GB HDD / 128GB SSD, two USB 2.0 ports, WiFi a/b/g/n / Bluetooth support, an SD/SDHC card slot, a VGA output, and a 3,100mAh battery that should last 7.5 hours.

This laptop can also be customized to contain a faster Core i7-640UM 1.2GHz CPU, and WiMAX. That's pretty impressive considering that this notebook will weigh 0.93kg and has a fairly thick 3cm body. This laptop is expected to launch in Japan on February 19th but the price wasn't mentioned.

Someone's gotta be pulling our leg here. Apparently, this is the Motorola MOTOSPLIT, and it'll feature a Snapdragon CPU - and a touchscreen of course. It's looking pretty thin right now, and it's got a unique QWERTY keyboard pull out. This phone will reportedly launch on AT&T in Q2 of this year with Android on deck. I don't know how believable this is so don't be sad if it doesn't see the light of day.

Oh hey! It's the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus and they're now available on Verizon's website. Check it out here. The Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are going for $149.99 and $99.99 on a 2-year contract, respectively.

We've already heard about the MSI X-Slim X420 notebook and now MSI has unveiled the X620 as a part of their X-Slim line-up. This notebook will feature a 15.6-inch display, an Intel ULV CPU, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 graphics, up to 4GB of RAM, up to a 500GB HDD, an HDMI port, two USB 2.0 ports, an SD card reader, an e-SATA port, audio jacks, a chiclet keyboard, and Windows 7 Home Premium. Thankfully it also has an optical drive which is pretty impressive since it has a 1.4-inch thin body. The price and release date hasn't been mentioned yet.

T-Mobile is going to launch the HTC HD2 and everyone knows this already. There's even better news though. It'll be coming to the US with more ROM and RAM, 1GB and 576MB, respectively. There's also going to be a 16GB microSD card in the box which is great news. Maybe the HD2 could be getting that Windows Mobile 7 upgrade after all.
