Estimates from Bernstein, Strategy Analytics and others report twice as many iPhones being shipped in the summer quarter as in the spring due specifically to Apple's handset being readily availab... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/20/iphone.non.exclusive.helps.apple.hurts.rim/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/20/pearl.9100.sleeker.faster/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/blackberrypearl9100-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />RIM's long anticipated overhaul of its most affordable BlackBerry is coming soon, a leak shows today.

The Galaxy Spica, or i5700, sits closer to the mid-range but is one of the fastest Android phones ever with an 800MHz proecssor.
