If there was a 2009 Mt. Phonemore (Rushmore for Phones) there is no doubt that the HTC Hero would be one of the 4 stellar devices that make the cut. And the Hero chizzeled into that mountain might be garnished with a Sprint logo because the CDMA version of the Hero just passed the FCC. [...]

According to DigiTimes sources – which can’t always be trusted might we add – Microsoft is adopting a dual strategy pitting two different offerings to challenge Android and the iPhone. Windows Mobile 6.5 will compete against Android while Windows Mobile 7 (when it launches in Q4 2009) will attempt to slay the iPhone. Microsoft plans [...]

You didn’t forget about that humbly toned down Pink HTC Hero that went on sale exclusively at Mobiles.co.uk did you? It appears they might be plopping on porches rather soon as at least one has been pictured along with its box: I like how the pink is more of a laid back, chilled out pink [...]

As we explained and illustrated in our HTC Hero Review, the phone is pretty darn awesome. The general consensus was one of optimism with a fairly widespread irritation of slight lagginess. Not enough lag to detract from the overall success of the phone, but enough to notice. Presto-Remove-O: Paul from Modaco got ahold of the [...]

We’ve seen the consumer targeted Android Hub concept and although it hasn’t yet come to fruition, we’re sure it will. Take that same “next generation deskphone” idea to the business world and you have what Cloud Telecomputers is calling their Android-based Glass platform. If you can’t read the fine print, the prototype model has an [...]

When the Samsung InstinctQ was first seen getting its Wi-Fi certification, there was immediate Android speculation. With the Instinct brand the phone is obviously Sprint-bound but beyond separate release date rumors of October 11th and early November, almost nothing is known about the mysterious device… until today. An anonymous tipster performed a heroic act by [...]

Some unfortunate news for AT&T Android fans as EngadgetMobile is reporting the company has canceled the rumored HTC Lancaster. The Lancaster was a pretty spiffy looking phone, taking on the design of the HTC Magic but also featuring the slide out QWERTY a la HTC Dream: Blame for the cancellation was placed squarely on the [...]

This story has been unraveling over the past few days but granted the somewhat suspicious nature of the leak, I decided to hold off until more of a story was built. Now it seems there is mounting proof that pictures of an unidentified Android MID circulating could indeed be real. Lets recap the dilly: Last [...]

A few days ago the Wi-Fi Alliance let us in on a little secret known as the T-Mobile Pulse. Although no information besides the phone’s existence was provided by the Wi-Fi certifcation process, Gizmodo Brazil came through with some pictures and specs of the phone. Now the FCC is doing their part as the T-Mobile [...]

Yesterday the Dell Mini 3i disappointed and today the company back peddled on the phone’s existence. Thankfully for Chinese Phandroids Philips has quickly swooped in to restore your robot faith. At the same event, the company introduced the Philips V900 which is an Android Phone based on China Mobile’s Open Mobile System (OMS), and its [...]

Yesterday at an event for China Mobile, Dell had on display what everyone believed to be the Android/OPhone based Dell Mini 3i. But now the company has confronted the public with a flurry of PR technicalities, hoping to make you think you may have possibly kind of forgotten what you sorta may have seen kind [...]

Android is moving on up. When Google announced the platform almost 2 years ago, many critics laughed at what they thought was a pitiful attempt to plant themselves in the largest upcoming growth market. But if imitation is the best form of flattery, Android should be flattered. One year ago, everyone was looking for the [...]

So sad. Even when you take all the precautions, like not texting when you drive, the unimaginably horrific can happen. Thomas Murphy, Sprint’s VP of Corporate Brand Marketing died near Aspen,  Colorado today when a boulder the size of a briefcase fell off a mountain, crashing through the driver’s side windshield. Murphy was driving his [...]

Skyhook Wireless (skyhookwireless.com) recently announced that two more applications on the Android Market are now using their GPS location service which should improve accuracy – the apps are Find Starbucks and Apot. It has been awhile since we spoke about Skyhook Wireless so in case you forgot, the company provides application developers with enhanced GPS [...]

Another application destined to become a worldwide favorite, Layar Reality Browser has finally launched and is now available on the Android Market! The video below will illustrate what exactly Layar is all about: Essentially you’re using your phone like a camera so you can see the real world as you pan around, but the application [...]

A couple months ago when Cupcake finally came, I reminded users that their phones now had Auto-Screen Rotate but they would need to enable it. I mentioned how this aided my bad habit of texting while driving and although I tried to defend myself in the comments, I received scathing criticism for my admission. And [...]

No wonder every carrier in the developed world scoffed at the Dell Android Phone they lugged continent to continent for which they sought a distribution partner – it was the opposite of impressive. It is the Dell Mini 3i and it is underwhelming to say the least. With no Wi-Fi or WAPI (Chinese equivalent) and [...]

Do you have an HTC Dream (G1) or HTC Magic (MyTouch 3G) yet crave the HTC Sensification of the HTC Hero? HTC published a Press Release (translated to English) on their Taiwanese site announcing that HTC Sense – the company’s proprietary build of Android – will be available for FREE to owners of the HTC [...]

If the dates and numbers over at DigiTimes are right, the HTC Click could be launching as early as September for a very small price tag and move a LOT of units. According to the article, HTC is forecasting 19% growth in shipments in the 4th Quarter of 2009 due largely in part to the [...]

Despite the awkward absence of the Samsung Galaxy on a broad global stage, it’s easy to get excited about an Android-based version of the Samsung Instinct which is exactly what the Samsung Instinct Q is rumored to be. We’ve heard for a VERY long time that this Sprint-bound Samsung would land on October 11th but [...]
