Last we heard from Cellular South, it was making waves by offering to pay early termination charges in order to hook new subscribers. at this time, it’s trying to lure even more paying customers in with the launch of the HTC Touch Diamond. The carrier, which serves much of Mississippi and portions of surrounding states, is at this time offering the touchscreen-based handset for 9.99 on a 2-year agreement, or if you’re not really down with a Dat. plan, it’ll cost you a stiff 9.99. We’re also told that a few new service plans have emerged, with family plans starting at and packing in 700 to 1,400 nationwide minutes along with unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling with other CS users. Also of note, the Total Unlimited plan includes unlimited talk, text, mobile web and email for / 0 per month for featurephones / smartphones.

We know what you’re thinking: what is this thing? Well, we’re pretty much dying to tell you. It’s a cradle insert that’s coming out on January 2nd for an HTC handset. Nothing too fancy, and it’s cheap — just £7.99 (that’s about .80). What’s engaging attention in this place is that the handset, called the Lolite (sadly that’s probably just an HTC code name), doesn’t exist and we’ve never even heard of it. Is this just a phantom typo, or can we expect a new HTC phone in the very near future? Either way, the G300 sure is a handsome insert!

It’s no world-beating Alexander or anything (not even close, really), but the W530 clamshell will still make and take calls with the bes. of ‘em. Reportedly, Moto is preparing the simplistic handset you see above for the Chinese market, and with it will come a 220 x 176 resolution internal display, 1.3-megapixel camera, an FM radio module, 20MB of inbuilt memory, microSD expansion slot, quad-band GSM support and that lightning quick EDGE data. No telling when precisely this will drop (nor for how much), but we’d surmise “soon.”
