Verizon, just announced with Skype at MWC that they have created an exclusive easy to use Skype application for BlackBerrys. No word yet on the release date but they promise to have more information by next month. The upcoming Skype/Verizon application will allow you to:

* make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to any Skype user around the globe
* call international phone numbers at competitive Skype Out calling rates
* send and receive instant messages to other Skype users
* remain always connected with the ability to see friends’ online presence

When launched the new Skype mobile application will be available for the BlackBerry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition, and Tour 9630. I am really curious to know how Verizon has managed to get full VoIP working on BlackBerrys but I welcome it all the same. Compared to other smartphones which already have 3G Skype calling this is not really a game changer but for BlackBerry users who have yet to see a true VoIP solution this is huge!

Google Nexus One might launch U.S. mobile network operator AT & T after the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) would be OK given the model’s 3G networks of AT & T.

The “unknown” yet, but found the people at Engadget as bearing the code number NM899100 (same number as Google Nexus One) could be compatible with 3G networks WCDMA frequency bands I, II and V, indicating that this model can be used in Europe. The news seems to be scandal after many of those who bought mobile phone network T-Mobile assaulted support services, complaining that they have a good 3G signal.

Google has Nexus One 3.7-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The model is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 1 GHz and has 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. The model has a 5 MP camera with flash and autofocus, face detection technology and geo-tagging function.

In the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong Google Nexus One can be purchased at less than 550 USD. In the spring of 2010, the new Google phone could be available in Europe for mobile operator Vodafone.

You do not have what to do with money? Stuart Hughes offers long-awaited solution: “the most expensive mobile phone in the world”.
