According to Pocket-Lint, a T-Mobile spokesperson has said that the company, “will be offering G1 users the firmware update in April,” referring to the now infamous Cupcake Development Branch we told you about in December. Among the most treasured of additional features is the on-screen keyboard the G1 is so desperately needing at the moment. [...]

If you want the best possible deal on the T-Mobile G1 you need to head over to Amazon where they’re currently selling the only American Android Phone for only $98! It costs $179.99 if you buy it directly from T-Mobile so that is a HECK of a deal. How do they do it? I’d say [...]

If you’ve poked around the site lately you’ve probably noticed that the “Accessories” link in the Blue Nav Bar now takes you to the Phandroid Accessories Store! To celebrate the launch we’re giving away $100 in merchandise from the store in the Android Haiku Contest! Here is the deal: 1st place gets anything under $50 [...]

Anybody can buy an unlocked T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream courtesy of Google – all you have to do is buy one of Google’s own Android Dev Phone 1 devices for $400 plus a few fees. Many have been reluctant to do so though, originally with frequency of OS updates being of concern and most [...]

We knew that the Microsoft’s Application Store – codenamed Skymarket – was going to launch at some point. They would be stupid NOT to launch something like this as soon as possible. But with everyone looking to differentiate with names like App Store, App World and App Market, it’s a bit funny that Microsoft pretty [...]

Are you one of the many people hoping to get your hands on the HTC Magic when it launches next month? Well a little magic trick by borce_razor at XDA Developers has made the HTC Magic manual appear out of thin air – literally!

Yesterday, the Mobile Cowboys go their hands on a Black version of the HTC Magic and man did that thing look A-MAZE-ING: But see that “HTC” branding in the upper right of the phone (lower left of picture)? Some thought this was an indication that the HTC Magic in Black might be branded differently, get [...]

It’s amazing that in September 2006, UMPC Portal wrote about the Road S101 which would be coming out soon. Almost 3 years later, the device STILL hasn’t hit the market. However, the same guys got ahold of the “still in development” Road S101 and perhaps all these delays were a blessing in disguise… because now [...]

I see Orange, I see France, I see… that HTC Dream doesn’t fit into this little joke attempt. But nonetheless, all our French friends get out your mustard cause it’s almost time to celebrate… the HTC Dream will reportedly go on sale with Orange on March 5th! For all intents and purposes this is the [...]

Nine months ago, Google announced the launch of Google Finance. That very same day I wrote an article on Phandroid called “Android For Day Traders” that predicted the combination of Google Finance and Android would take the concept of real-time stock market information to a new realm. Last night, with the announcement of Finance for [...]

A tipster (thanks, Matt!) just pointed out to us that the HTC Magic is appearing on the Vodafone website and shows that it is “Coming In April”! Interesting to note that the camera is listed as “3.0-4.0 Megapixels”, what does that mean? The camera is 3.2 megapixels in case you were wondering. Allow us to [...]

Mr. Yury Cassini has set the blog world on fire by posting a video, pictures, specs and information about Motorola’s upcoming Android Phone which he calls the Motorola TouchZINE HD. Unfortunately, it’s likely a case of rumor arson with Photoshop taking the wrap as an accomplice/accessory to the blogging crime. Here is the video/pics of [...]
