The much anticipated Nikon D800 DSLR will be unveiled on February 7, according to NikonRumors. Details on the D800 along with a picture of the camera have been leaked in previous months, revealing a whopping 36-megapixel full-frame DLSR that manages to be slightly smaller than Nikon’s D700 while still having three times the megapixels and a larger LCD.

Beyond the massive sensor resolution and full frame, the Nikon D800 also offers superior video quality, up to 1080p/30/25/24 with the option of shooting at 720p/60/30/25/24.

T-Mobile is home to more than a million iPhone users despite still being denied an official iPhone deal with Apple. These unlocked iPhones only have access to T-Mobile’s slow 2G EDGE network and that isn’t about to change, but the carrier is planning to improve customer support for these users starting January 30.

According to a leaked internal document obtained by TmoNews, the carrier plans to add iPhone support that includes “common procedures, information about feature and specifications and other basic device questions.” Also, iPhone support pages will be created and integrated with current T-Mobile Community support pages.

Unlocked iPhone users will benefit by being able to make just one call to reach support, while employees will have access to the support information they need to resolve issues more quickly. However, the poor 2G EDGE network experience and the lack of data plans will persist as long as iPhone hardware continues to lack support for T-Mobile’s WCDMA 1700/2100 band.

This week the EU’s list of mergers and takeovers includes no less than an approval for Japan’s Sony to acquire sole control of the mobile phone company called Sony Ericsson. This company had thus far been co-owned by both Sony and Ericsson, and has been approved on the 26th of January to be owned only be Sony. This comes just one week after the company Sony Ericsson posted a $318 million USD loss in their 4th quarter earnings report.

The company now enveloped by Sony noted that they had a sour economy, price erosion, restructuring charges, and a whole lot of Thailand flooding to blame when they spoke of their loss earlier this month. Sony Ericsson also announced a relatively clear pathway for 2012 to update their device line to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, this leading consumers perhaps to pick up their devices in 2012 to stay ahead of the pack. New devices showing up at CES 2012 showed the company to be well on track for creating new and innovative Android-based smartphones for the year, devices such as the...
