It seems like music phones are all the rage and manufacturers are struggling to out do each other. Motorola has decided that reinvention is the name of the game for them and they’ve decided to reinvent the suave MOTO PEBL model and incorporate it into their ROKR series. The new ROKR PEBL U9 is what it’s going to be called according to sources at Engadget. Not much is known with regard to the features other than it would probably have a 3.5mm earphone socket. It could also be a probability that the U9 could be rather high-end phone considering the "9" in the phone's name indicates that, says Phone Scoop.

iPhone Unlocked in Europe

So someone did what everyone's been waiting for a long time. Hackers in Europe have claimed to have unlocked iPhone by making use of a SIM reader/writer and a blank SIM card. And what they have is the iPhone making calls with full SMS capabilities on their home network. And the cost? $96!! How? Well you can read it on the hackintosh Forum.


This has been tested, and apparently a reader managed to unlock the phone successfully. I wonder how long before someone discovers a software-based unlocking mechanism.
