Bloomberg reports that Google plans to announce a mobile payment service on May 26. The Nexus S on Sprint will be the first device to take advantage of Google’s NFC-based technology that allows compatible mobile phones to make payments at physical retail stores. When Google added NFC support to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) earlier this year , the NFC-capable Nexus S seemed the likely guinea pig for the long-rumored service.

Isis, a joint venture from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, was formed with the idea of using Near Field Communication enabled devices (like Google’s Nexus S ) to replace credit cards.

As expected, HTC has unveiled the HTC Sensation , the company’s new dual-core flagship, at its London event today. The phone previously known as the HTC Pyramid is headed for a global launch in May/June 2011 – with Vodafone as lead European carrier, T-Mobile USA (as the HTC Sensation 4G with, as the name suggests, HSPA+ connectivity) in the US, and on various Asian carriers (tbc). The Sensation has a Desire HD scale 4.3-inch touchscreen only running at qHD 540 x 960 resolution

The Dell Venue Pro is finally available and confirmed to be in stock in the UK, at least from independent third-party retailers such as Expansys and Clove. So if for some reason you’ve been waiting for this Windows Phone 7 device, the only one to have a portrait-sliding QWERTY keyboard (a la Palm Pre), it’s time to check your credit card’s balance and prepare to do some ordering
The very first Windows Phone 7 device has shown up on Sprint’s website and stores (note how I avoided the obvious pun there?), which Microsoft should consider a huge victory for its overall smartphone market share in the US.

A few years ago, when tiny and thin phones like the Motorola RAZR and Pantech C3000 came out and became hugely popular, I felt like the forthcoming trend in cell phones was: the smaller the better. I saw movies like Zoolander that made fun of the tiny phones and figured that this was just the way the industry would go. I was completely wrong
