Where are all my Indian Phandroids in the house? I’m sure you all are chomping at the bot waiting for Android Phones to start lighting up your country but you won’t have to wait long thanks to Samsung. The company recently announced their partnership with Tata Docomoto to launch the Samsung Galaxy later this year [...]

You’ve probably seen a Plusmo Android Application when browsing the Android Market at sometime or another. The company has a long list of sports applications and widgets that provide you instant access to your favorite teams and leagues. Let me refresh your memory: I used to have Pro Football Live! as a homescreen application but [...]

Are you familiar with NERO? They are the company made famous by their butt-kicking software that burned mix CDs. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on who you are and how old you feel, that was a full decade ago. So what is the company up to now? Creating software for the Motorola CLIQ that helps you [...]

I don’t have Android 1.6 Donut on my phone… but this guy does. And he loves jazz. At the very beginning of his “what has changed in the settings” he completely overlooks the new inclusion of VPN settings which Google included in their list of updates in 1.6: VPN, 802.1x A new Virtual Private Network [...]

Do you love Android? Then sign up to the Phandroid VIP Newsletter in the top right sidebar! It’s hard to keep up with the news – heck, I run Phandroid.com and have trouble staying in the loop with all the Android developments. So every Monday we’ll send you a summary of the previous week’s important [...]

Last night a few Phandroid tipsters (see via) wrote in to share that wnrussell from Howard Forums posted pics of the Motorola Tao, also/formerly called the Motorola Sholes – we’re not sure of the name just yet. At first I passed on the pictures because – to be honest – they don’t reveal much beyond [...]

I thought Verizon had a brilliant idea in trying to reinvent the desk phone. They did. The company launched the Verizon Hub earlier this year with the idea that desk phones are still desired and finally – after a decade of sitting idle – needed to be updated to fit our modern technological needs. And [...]

Next to nothing was known about the Samsung Behold 2 except that it an Android phone sporting Wi-Fi and a 420 x 300 pixel screen – but it has just passed the FCC and a couple more details came along for the ride. The most notable item that I saw on the list was a [...]

We saw the Motorola CLIQ pre-pre-order page go live about seventeen seconds ago and we’ve already got an update for you: the pre-sale will occur between October 19th and November 1st and orders will be shipped as they are received. It will cost $199.99 on a 2-year agreement and those wishing to purchase it in-store [...]

The Motorola CLIQ pre-order page is now running LIVE on the T-Mobile website! Unfortunately you can’t pre-order yet but a handy countdown timer teases us, showing that when the clock strikes midnight and it officially becomes Monday, October 19th… you’ll be able to pre-order your Motorola CLIQ. Of course you can always sign up via [...]

It looks like the final retail packaging for the Motorola CLIQ has been leaked over at LeakDroid. Not the fanciest cover but the concept of adding featured applications that come pre-installed on the handset is a cool idea that was implemented well. Interesting to note the YAHOO! logo is in full view but the Google [...]

It seems like one topic has dominated the mindshare of Android enthusiasts in the past week and that is the Cyanogen debacle. Dave Demarest and I spend 30 minutes talking about the status of modding and an unfortunately overshadowed Android Developers Challenge 2. Hope you enjoy the show and – as always – we love [...]

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you’ve heard about Google’s formal complaint of the Android modding scene. The problem is that mod creators – with Cyanogen being the fall guy – were redistributing Google’s Android applications which were intended to be close sourced with non-transferable licenses. In Google’s official follow-up they explained that while [...]

If you’re an Android Developer or even a random Android enthusiast who picked up the unlocked Android Dev Phone 1 (ADP1) then you’re in luck… you now have access to download Android 1.6 aka Donut! In a tweet by Android Team Member JBQ we are linked to not only the files necessary to do so, [...]

With all the news, rumors and leaks regarding the Motorola Sholes/Tao, you may have missed an important note regarding HTC and Verizon Wireless. The HTC Desire, HTC Passion and HTC Predator are all Android Phones poised to launch on Big Red this holiday season. Little to nothing is known about them but that will all [...]

Remember the Geek’s Phone One? I first mentioned it to you folks in May and was reluctant to do so as it seemed/sounded like a possible fake – it wasn’t. But even though the company is real they have yet to produce a consumer ready product and this month have faced further delays. Fortunately those [...]

When we say “phony” we don’t mean the type that allows you to place mobile phone calls. Nope, not at all – we mean FAKE. Put the Tiger G3 right next to the HTC Hero and let us see what we have: It even has the chin! But wait a minute? Interestingly enough, the cloning [...]

We were hoping to get a glimpse of the Motorola Sholes -along with an official announcement – at Mobilize 2009 where the Motorola CLIQ was announced. Afterall, it is rumored to be Verizon Wireless’ first Android Phone and Big Red is the most popular carrier in arguably the most important mobile market in the world. [...]

Take a look at the page for the T-Mobile Pulse in the Netherlands and notice in the lower left hand corner a little phrase that says “Levering vanaf 12 oktober”? I’m not exactly bilingual but my friend Google translate is and in English that means “delivery from October 12th”! That’s right, the T-Mobile Pulse is [...]

Google’s mobile operating system is awesome for consumers, but one of the greatest opportunities to capitalize on Android is for device manufacturers. Companies that might not otherwise share the global spotlight can really shine by crafting something spectacular and ARCHOS appears to be doing just that.  A couple weeks ago the company announced their ARCHOS [...]
