You know that promotional Motorola CLIQ brochure that has been making the rounds? The guys at TMOtoday got their hands on the entire thing and were nice enough to share it… of course with the obligatory watermarks! The brochure is shaped and designed like the actual CLIQ and discusses some of the features over the [...]

China Unicom will have Apple’s iPhone. China Mobile has their Android-based Open Mobile System phone dubbed OPhone. Now China Telecom could acquire a phone/platform based on Android and created by Access called CPhone: Interesting UI… ClonedInChina called it “cartoon style” while Engadget was a little more liberal with their criticism, insinuating it was created by [...]

Way back in May the Samsung Houdini was first rumored as an Android Phone headed to T-Mobile by way of leaked roadmap. A couple days later the Samsung Houdini got slapped with a November launch date and was named the “BIG HOLIDAY LAUNCH” phone for T-Mobile… but little has been heard about the device since. [...]

A few weeks ago we pointed out an article on Investopedia where an “analyst” claimed 10 Android Phones would be announced by Motorola at Mobilize 2009. That claim was obviously false as only ONE phone was announced – the Motorola CLIQ. I suppose you could say two if you included the Motorola DEXT but cmon, [...]

There are plenty of people eagerly awaiting the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 – including us – but at least ONE person out there already has it.  A bunch of photos from various sources have popped up on the interwebz this morning including both a White Xperia X3 and Black Xperia X3.

Well THIS is an interesting development. After the official announcement of the HTC Tattoo a couple weeks ago, we thought we knew everything there was to know about the affordable Android prior to launch. But today we’ve found two additional tidbits that make the phone all that more attractive: it will launch with Android 1.6 [...]

HTC has spent a lot of time and effort creating their custom Android OS known as HTC Sense and it certainly shows. But we’re told that “custom” and “with Google” don’t usually co-exist on the same device since Google is unwilling to slap their brand name on a phone that isn’t 100% Google Experience. Could [...]

Android 1.6 introduces a new feature called “Quick Search Box” that is pretty awesome and self-explanatory. The coolest part is that developers can integrate their apps for inclusion in these searches: One of the new features we’re really proud of in the Android 1.6 release is Quick Search Box for Android. This is our new [...]

If you’re waiting for the Sprint HTC Hero you’ve only got a few weeks left – it is set to launch on October 11th for $179.99. But that hasn’t stopped BestBuy from putting it up a little bit early as they now have it listed on BestBuy.com for $599.99 with no-strings-attached and a “coming soon” [...]

Alright this is starting to get out of hand… we’ve just now heard about the ANOTHER Verizon Android Phone that could launch in 2009 – the HTC Predator.  The rumor was spilled by BGR and supposedly this phone could come as soon as October. You do realize folks… This would make FOUR Verizon Android Phones: [...]

We know the new, more colorful and screenshot-capable version of Android Market is on the way – Google said so. But if you want it you’ll have to wait ’til Google is good and ready… right? Wrong. Folks familiar with the wonderful world of rooting are already viewing the new Android Market LIVE. Don’t believe [...]

This just in: Motorola has published a promotional video for the Motorola CLIQ featuring Motorola BLUR. I’m being sarcastic here as the video seems more like a finger jazzercizing workout video or a “look at the cool tricks I can do with my finger” highlight reel: Maybe I found it more entertaining than informative because [...]

One word to sum up the rumors surrounding the Motorola CLIQ launch – confusion. Today a BGR tipster told them that the Motorola CLIQ would be launching on T-Mobile November 11th alongside the BlackBerry 9700. Alone the rumor would seem normal, but last week BGR posted a release timeline with 2 very different opinions: The [...]

This latest rumor is a toughy to sort out and considering the hit-or-miss nature of DigiTimes rumor milling, we’re not sure exactly what to do with this besides put it forth before the Phandroid faithful, arguably the greatest jury among the tech public. Steve Shen from the DigiTimes notes the Commercial Times as saying Verizon [...]

Clear those shelves! Make way for the Motorola CLIQ! T-Mobile just dropped the price of the T-Mobile G1 to only $129.99 on its website: While I’m still deathly in love with the G1, T-Mobile doesn’t seem to have too much interest in promoting it or this new offer. To find the G1 on the T-Mobile [...]

On the one hand we love rumors and on the other we hate them – especially when they are as vague and unsourced as this latest one. The folks at MobileCrunch are saltily suggesting that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 – the company’s previously rumored first Android Phone – will launch in January 2010. They [...]

The price of the Motorola DEXT for Orange UK has been announced… and their is none. As in it is FREE if you do two little things: (1) Sign a 2-year contract, and (2) Contract is £34.26+/month. This pricing is a cold hard fact as the pricing was announced by Orange themselves. Actually forget cold [...]
