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!

Sony Ericsson today announced two environmentally friendly mobile GreenHeart series. One of them is Sony Ericsson Elm, a special phone in terms of construction.

Sony Ericsson Elm is great by the fact that it curved back. The manufacturer claims that this curve gives extra usability. Otherwise, except back curved, the normal candybar.

Elm is made of recycled plastic and contains no harmful chemical elements to the environment. Environmental aspect of the terminal is completed by a series of applications seeking to awaken the spirit of environmental utlilizatori.

Sony Ericsson Elm has a 2.2 inch screen with QVGA resolution. The device supports HSDPA, GPS, Wi-Fi and microSD slot is also present on duty. The camera has 5 MP and measured internal storage space 280 MB.

Sony Ericsson Elm will be launched in the first quarter of 2010.

When we say “full touch we think of a gadget with only a few buttons to be used in navigation, or even one, see the iPhone, all other commands are given on the touch screen.

Synaptics Fuse is a concept that would lead to sensitive gadgets to another level. It comes with an AMOLED WVGA touchscreen, a Cortex A8 processor and PowerVR SGX graphics chip.

In addition, however, the phone has almost all the back turned into trakpad, that is also a touch sensitive area for 2D navigation and the sides are placed touch sensors, but also pressure, so call me when it is tightly in hand.

The interface of this phone was also tailored to match, icons ready for the increased activation in a kind of 3D animation, which looks like when it is tight, your whole curve.

Although this phone is a concept as can be spectacular but it does not seem to be more practical and more mobile than existing full touch now on the market. To operate trackpad the back of the phone it takes two hands, and commands given by means of pressure sensors, although funny in a first phase, it could become tiring on long-term. That only if users are not somehow to keep a phone that instead of practicing device for forearm muscles.

A more extensive Fuse concept will be made to major exhibitions profile next year in Las Vegas and Barcelona.

That’s right people, it’s getting closer. We can almost taste it now in fact. The CDMA answer to the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and Curve 8900 has just popped up in a new round of live shots, this time a bit more clear than the last round. We also get a pretty clear glimpse of the back this time around, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Apparently the faux leather on the Bold battery cover isn’t polarizing enough so RIM decided to up the ante. Yikes. What do you guys think — love it, hate it or who cares just give me a sexy new CDMA BlackBerry already?! Hit the jump for the shot of the back.
