While some complaints after any firmware update are to be expected, there seems to be a decided uptick in the number of reports of problems with the iPhone’s GPS (ranging from general wonkiness to all out failure) after the most recent 2.0.1 update. As the responses on the MacRumors forums indicate, however, the problems are far from across the board (or confined to the iPhone 3G), and GPS problems haven’t exactly been that rare of an occurrence before this latest update either. So, we’ll open it up to you, dear readers — have you had any newfound iPhone GPS problems?

[Thanks, Mike]

While legend has it that the Alexander possesses a beauty that only a mother could see, Motorola’s Atila looks pretty sharp from here. The codenamed handset is said to be Alexander’s non-QWERTY counterpart, boasting quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE, tri-band UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA, a 2.8-inch QVGA (320 x 240) display, 802.11b/g WiFi, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and a Qualcomm 7201A chipset. Mum’s the word on a price or release date, but we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.

To be completely honest, we’re not so sure there’s any real difference between any of Aiptek’s crapcorders. They all seem to boast some form of HD capturing abilities, utterly worthless digital zooms and expansion slots for your SDHC card of choice. Additionally, they all produce output that’s marginally better than mediocre and cost next-to-nothing compared to “real” HD camcorders. Are we missing anything, or do you really want us to run down the official specs list of the £129.99 ($249) AHD 300?

There aren’t exactly all that many details left to announce, but Verizon has just gotten official with its late to the party Visual Voicemail service which, for the time being at least, is only available on the LG Voyager. As we had heard previously, the service will run you an extra $2.99 per month on top of your usual bill, and you’ll be able to store up to 40 messages for 40 days, with an option to create up to 10 greetings and 20 distribution lists. Unfortunately, Verizon didn’t take the opportunity to announce any firm plans for a roll-out to any of the other phones supposedly in line to get the service, with it only going so far as to say that additional devices will be getting it in the “coming months.”
