Seems that rumored June release window for LG’s VX8610 (Decoy) was right on. phoneArena has it that the peculiar slider will be launching just over a fortnight from now on June 16th, and if you’re looking to get one with a 2-year contract, the pricing isn’t so bad ($179). It also mentions a $249 post-rebate price with a 1-year agreement and a $349 sticker if you aren’t signing any dotted line other than the credit card receipt. Guess it’s wait-and-see from here, yeah?

Yeah, we know it’s not earth shattering news, but we’ll take what we can get when it comes to
Sony Ericsson’s eminently drool-worthy set. The X1’s official site has dropped a few shots of the handset in a second color called Steel Silver that show a new
XPERIA panel key and some new branding below the screen. Way to tease Sony Ericsson, we’re not worried about the labels, just push this out the door this year, pretty please?

We’ve a breach! Not only do they read “News Blog” but they know about IP addresses, a closely guarded secret among hax0rs. These CSI guys are getting pretty l33t. It’s short, but this video has to be one of the worst instances of bluff tech writing I’ve ever seen — worse than 24!
And for your pleasure: A creative Redditor has put together an awesome artist’s impression of what her Visual Basic GUI might look like if they showed it.

RoverPC rolls out the next in its cleverly named line of devices as an update to the
RoverPC P6, called — yeah, you guessed it — the RoverPC P7. While the aesthetic for this Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro device has certainly gotten a big push, and the specs are looking dandy, it seems that our friend 3G was left behind. Though all isn’t lost handset lovers as it boasts a 416MHz CPU, a 2.8-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, microSD memory slot, and a pretty middling 2 megapixel camera. No word on when we might expect this to land — though the where is looking like Russia — or on pricing, but hopefully we’ll hear more soon.

Smartphone shoppers with an inclination for Windows Mobile are about to be faced with a really serious problem later this year — our favorite kind of problem, in fact. In the QWERTY arena, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 and various incarnations of the HTC Raphael are setting up to go head-to-head in a battle royale (ironic, since both are made by HTC) that will pit VGA against WVGA, WinMo 6.1 with TouchFLO against WinMo 6.1 with Sony Ericsson’s custom “panel” interface, and 7.2Mbps HSDPA against 7.2Mbps HSDPA. If that ain’t an even fight, we don’t know what’s, and we think that it’ll probably come down to carrier availability for a good number of folks that are hoping to score one on a contract discount. Anyway, the::unwired has unearthed a full spec sheet for the T-Mobile-branded version of the Raphael, the MDA Vario IV, and the hearty 256MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM are just two of the many line items worth drooling over. A tiny competition never hurt anyone, eh, Sony Ericsson?
