BlackBerry 8900 Curve for T-Mobile U.S Landing at on February 18th (Rumor)

The word on the street is that T-Mobile USA will finally have the BlackBerry 8900 Curve in store on February 18th, and that would not be one minute too early (actually, we would prefer tomorrow morning...). If you have missed it, the Blackberry 8900 packs a lot of the goodness from its sibling, the BlackBerry Bold, expect that it has a slower CPU and no 3G access. The good news is that it will be lighter. We have confirmation from T-Mobile employees that the 8900 Curve (codenamed Javelin) will indeed arrive in the first quarter of 2009, so this date seems plausible, but not certain. It is already available in Germany, and one was even sold on eBay for $17100.

Microsoft touts 25 percent eBay Cashback rebate

Microsoft is getting more aggressive with Live Search Cashback, a program that offers price cuts for those who buy products found with the company's search engine, touting a 25 percent rebate for items purchased through eBay. eBay has long been a Cashback partner, but the company went to the trouble of promoting the deal on its Live Search blog Thursday. Kok Waii Wong, Microsoft's group product manager for Live Search, announced the 25 percent eBay rebate on the blog. There are some conditions, though, including a $200 cashback limit and payment through PayPal only. It's offered only in the United States. View Full Article: CNET News

Motorola Keeps Aura Phone Off eBay

Those who think that they might be able to find a way around the £2,000 price tag associated with Motorola's latest luxury phone, the Aura, will be disappointed to know that the telecommunications company will be introducing a legal contract for new owners that prevents them from selling the Aura on eBay, and the only party they are legally allowed to sell the handset back to is (surprise, surprise) Motorola. We presume this is all part of a grand master plan to keep the Aura extremely exclusive, but it will be interesting to see just how well Motorola is able to uphold their end of the bargain (or should we say, threats).

Yoono: lighter with a Shopping Widget and supports IE, Imeem and MySpace.

center> I have been a Yoono user for a while and I was waiting for this new version. Yoono is a Social Aggregator integrated as a side bar in the browser that I use mainly to update my status in various Social Networking Websites, get instant twitter alerts, listen to random music and all this while I am browsing the web. I tried Twhirl which is very convenient to update Twitter and view Twits, but I had to uninstall Adobe Air from my Mac because it was causing too many conflicts with other applications. Yoono has much more features like chat across a wide number of IM clients, instant media sharing via IM, web discovery and content recommendation based on behavior, blogging, and more... Yoono previous version for the Mac was ...

Bang & Olufsen Quits Cell Phone Market

Bang & Olufsen has thrown in the towel where cell phone manufacturing is concerned, which means the Samsung Serene and Samsung Serenata F310 will no longer be available in due time. This news will probably result in a mad scramble for the last few sets that will eventually make their way onto eBay, where market forces will determine whether it is worth the value stated or not. This pullout does not mean that Bang & Olufsen will severe all ties with Samsung, but this means we won't get to see any more weird looking handsets from them ever again. If you like Ubergizmo...

Ebay Survey Says Americans Buy Crap They Don’t Want

This inbox item caught my eye. Ebay commissioned a survey on behalf of their fast growing Kijiji product (it competes with and engages in litigation with Craigslist). The survey revealed surprising (I use the term sarcastically) facts such as: 90% of Americans have at least one unused item lying around the house Unused electronics items can be found in more than 2/3 of households (70%) 38% of men are holding onto old electronics, compared to 35% of women Want to sell that junk? You won’t get much for it. The average purchase price and resale value is below. Ebay turns those lemons into lemonade though: “Although you may not get much money back in some cases, it’s better than nothing – especially in these tough economic times. And we all know how quickly the value ...

Gazelle: Sell Stuff Without Doing the Craigslist/eBay Dance

CG’s Devin writes: I doubt you guys have quite the amount of gadget clutter as those of use who accrue them for a living, but if you’ve even got half our volume of old cameras, phones, and devices in general laying around you may find Gazelle’s service helpful. Not everyone has a used computer recycler like RePC in the Northwest. And while GameStop might buy your DS and there’s always Craigslist, it might be nice to have a central location with competitive (and market-generated) pricing for your old gear. It’ll recycle stuff for you as well if it has no market value. They wouldn’t buy my Trace, and they offered me $74 for my Ocean, which is probably market value although I bet I could get $100 if I tried real hard ...

Don’t Sell Your Vote On Ebay. It’s Wrong.

Max Sanders decided it would be funny if he sold his vote in the upcoming presidential election on Ebay - minimum bid $10. And while I agree that it’s pretty funny, he’s now been charged with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting, a felony under an 1893 Minnesota law that makes it a crime to offer to buy or sell a vote. The law was used extensively in the 1920’s says this article, when people sold their votes for liquor. A whole slew of Minnesota government officials are apparently looking at this as a meal ticket. Sanders faces a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The eBay listing has been taken down. I’ll be listing my vote on Ebay, too, in protest of this. ...
