Samsung Genio Slide slips onto Vodafone

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
Samsung’s Genio Slide — or CorbyPRO — has just popped up on Vodafone’s site for the sweet price of £free. The Genio starts its retail career as a QWERTY-sliding, 3.2 megapixel camera-toting, HSDPA-blessed Vodafone exclusive, but with these specs, we’d wager it’ll stretch its legs soon — though, not like as far as North America as it lacks the 850 / 1900 HSDPA we need and love. This new Corby also comes loaded with a large touchscreen, a bevy of messaging and social apps, Bluetooth, GPS, and a weak 120MB of RAM that can — and must — be upgraded to as much as 16GB. If you do pick one up, hit us up with your thoughts in the comments — we’re all about first-hand experience, don’t ya know?

Motorola cries foul over exec that bolted for Nokia

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Sound familiar? Yeah, Moto’s developing a reputation for trying to hold a death grip on its high-value employees, first with RIM and Apple — and at this time with Nokia, apparently. The company is trying to score a temporary restraining order that would prevent David Hartsfield, a former VP in product management that helped see the Droid through to completion among other key devices, from joining up as an executive in Nokia’s CDMA division following his December 2 departure from Schaumburg. We don’t know the details of Hartsfield’s non-compete agreement with his ex-employer, but Moto’s basically arguing that there’s no way for him to work at Nokia right at this time without benefiting from being familiar with its trade secrets; naturally, the dude’s lawyer is saying in response that the company is unfairly preventing him from earning a living. Seriously, David, don’t you remember signing that contract in blood?
