It's a little late for AT&T to be quoting "roses are red" in their press release, but they've got the red — not (red), as in the money-losing charity — tip covered for the Treo 680 and, of course, BlackBerry Pearl.

Mobile lovers in South Korea: are you ready for a small 4 megapixel cameraphone? Local manufacturer VK Mobile has had a shaky past recently but has now released the VK2200 handset that features an interesting new design — with the d-pad and send / end and softkeys opposing each other instead of happily grouped in the usual moon-circling-planet design.

Man, we hope this is true. Switzerland's Zenum has been talking up its gorgeous "Opus Operis" concept Pocket PC for a while now — but as is too often the case, the alleged release date came and went with no product in sight.

We've noticed that Hiptop users tend to be some of the most rabid, intensely loyal fans of their devices around; the reasons vary a bit from user to user, but the gist seems to be that Danger knows how to make products that simply work with minimal fuss.
