LaptopMag whipped out a quick review of Verizon‘s newest cell phone with piggybacking Bluetooth headset and for the most part, they like. The LG Decoy does seem to shine, in fact they call it brilliant, the pairing process with the headset’s a breeze, they love that it charges while nestled in the back of the handset, and when not using little stowaway, the speakerphone is loud. Of course, there seem to be a few drawbacks, headset battery life is a pitiful 2 hours, the two-in-one combo at 4.1 ounces is a tad hefty, wind noise is a serious problem, and at $179 after discount, it’s pricey. Follow the read link to read the rest and see a few more pics of it in action.
Samsung launches the new models SCH-W510 and SGH-F268

We’ve seen providers getting all green, and now it seems at least one of the big handset makers has seen fit to try a more earth-friendly approach. Samsung’s W510 and F268 sets, announced today at the World IT Show in Seoul, both feature a couple little dashes of greenery, and are a decent first effort we’d wager.
The W510 is made from a “bio-plastic” created with natural materials extracted from corn and its manufacturing process skips the use of lead, mercury, and other miserable ingredients. The F268 and its accessories don’t contain any brominated flame retardants or PVC, and the handset features an alarm to let you know when it’s charged and can be unplugged from the wall, we like this one best, because while definitely green you could still brag a bit about it.

The LG model, it’s all well and good the Secret has a touchscreen and that sweet DivX-capable 5 megapixel camera, but making a viral video that can only be described as early-90s softcore voodoo porn and ends with a sheepish phone call from the dude’s mother is probably not the best way to highlight those qualities.
