Alcatel-Lucent’s CEO and chairman to exit
July 31, 2008
Shortly after Alcatel-Lucent posted yet another quarter of net losses, two of its biggest bigwigs have decided that enough is enough. Chairman Serge Tchuruk and CEO Patricia Russo have both announced plans to exit the company, and while the former will be clocking in for the final time on October 1st, the latter has agreed to stay on until a new CEO is found. According to Tchuruk, the time has come for the outfit to “acquire a personality of its own, independent from its two predecessors.” The search for replacements has already begun, though analysts assert that filling the holes won’t be a lesson in simplicity. Something Motorola would likely agree with entirely.

The second piece in Verizon’s EV-DO Rev. A push-to-talk puzzle is getting pushed out the door today — so if you weren’t feeling last week’s Motorola Adventure V750 launch, you’ve got another option to check out. The rugged G’zOne Boulder from Casio brings an integrated compass, 1.3 megapixel cam, VZ Navigator support, and a microSD slot; it’s available both in orange / black and black / silver, but at launch, only the silver version will be optionally available without a camera. Look for it to start trickling through the standard retail channels this day for $179.99 before a $50 rebate on a new two-year contract.

Linux-based Samsung i800 gets canned
July 31, 2008
Filed under: Handsets, Samsung, Linux, ALP
Back in February, we all had high hopes that the Linux-based Samsung i800 would be a real winner when it launched on Orange this fall. Unfortunately, the i900 is likely to be out and about before the i800 can even have a proper funeral. According to Edelman, Orange’s PR firm, the “i800 has been withdrawn in order to… prepare a more competitive Linux mobile.” In all honesty, we don’t suspect that many folks will miss it, but those holding out on picking up a new cellie can safely move on to courting other handsets.
