Its not like Verizon is trying to hide the Motorola Droid from us – they’ve already launched a full-on campaign for the device which butts heads directly with the iPhone. But those campaigns have never really shown what the phone looks like. Move over Verizon, this sounds like a job for Motorola. A couple hours [...]

2, 4, 6, 8 – HTC is looking great. Desire. Desire. Gooooooooo DESIRE! *looks around awkwardly* … Excuse me while I ban myself from my own website. Seriously though, folks waiting on Verizon Android Phones have another reason to celebrate as a BGR tipster has pointed out the HTC Desire is headed to Big Red [...]

If you’re the type that likes to root your device, mod it, hack around and really dive into the guts of Android then you’ll be happy to know that HTC has just made public the HTC Hero Kernel Source Code on their developer website. This is hugely important because up until now only the ADP1, [...]

We all want the hottest handsets, sweetest specs, awesomest apps, greatest games and next best thing in the tech world – Android included. Sometimes we get so lost in what is “cool” and “fun” that we lose site of reality and practicality. A couple days ago, Google made a post on their Official Blog about [...]

Myself and Dave Demarest just dipped into double digits (10!)- took long enough, right? After apologizing for the latest Phandroid Podcast debacle (swine flu edition), we dive into talking about what else? The Motorola Droid, Motorola CLIQ and Samsung Moment. We get off track, bark up some unplanned trees, visit tangents we didn’t intend to [...]

The Motorola Droid will probably be announced on October 28th, but it seems 3rd party retailer Best Buy Mobile is already stocking up on the device. According to internal Best Buy screenshots obtained by PhoneArena, a Verizon phone listed as the Motorola Sholes (yeah mmk) will be arriving to Best Buy on Saturday, October 24th [...]

If you have Windows Vista, you’ve probably wanted to gouge your eyes out with a titanium spatula dipped in scorching hot snake venom. Or maybe not. But either way I want to inform you that today is the first day you can officially Buy Windows 7. Why the HECK am I telling you to buy [...]

There has been a BUNCH of eReader news this past week with a handful of new devices being announced. Unfortunately for the Alex eReader made by Spring Design, I wasn’t too gentle with the criticism. After watching the video below I’m not a converted fanboy or anything, but perhaps it isn’t as bad as I [...]

The folks over at the SEMC Blog got their hands on a picture of the Sony Ericsson Sunny and they point out that the phone has a couple interesting things that suggest a “new” operating system. Based on the looks of the “Home” and “Back” keys and the familiar looking status bar, it looks like [...]

You know that countdown timer that zeroes out on October 28th that initially was set for an October 30th happening? I doubt they’ll be changing it again: Verizon has just sent out an invitation to members of the media to an October 28th private event that occurs “By Appointment Only” from 11:30am to 4:30am. Common [...]

Verizon sent the folks at the CrunchFam a big old box clearly with something Motorola Droid related inside. Watch Greg Kumparak unbox this bad mamma jamma: SPOILER SAFETY BUFFER ZONE SPOILER SAFETY BUFFER ZONE R2. Freaking. D2. Pretty awesomely hilarious yet depressing. We’ve noticed that Verizon and Motorola have put notice that “Droid” is a [...]

Back in August the Samsung Galaxy Lite Passed the FCC. That had FCC ID A3LGTI5700. Today we’re seeing the Samsung Galaxy Lite pass the FCC yet again but this time with FCC ID A3LGTI5700L. So what does that little “L” on the end tacked on mean? Good question. We’re working on trying to figure that [...]

UPDATE: Many of our commenters have pointed out that 11.09 likely means November 2009 as the Droid Does campaign designates. So the launch date could very well be November 6th still. Phandroid readers are a bright bunch, I knew I liked you guys/gals for a reason! We previously had rumor that the Motorola Droid was [...]

There is no doubt that Android enthusiasts love the HTC Hero. And while HTC manufactured the phone in hopes it would be loved, I’m not sure they anticipated it would be loved THIS much. According to DigiTimes, European and Asian markets are having a hard time keeping supply of the HTC Hero up to pace [...]

If you think that Android is strictly a mobile phone OS you’ve been fooled. Being open, it can be used anywhere. We’ve seen it on netbooks, MIDs, desk phones, home entertainment centers, laptops, in cars and other interesting places. Now defense contractor Raytheon is putting Android in the battlefield with a life saving mission they [...]

Usually we would be jealous to see another site unboxing something we really want. But in this case its a bit different – you’ve already seen that we played with Sprint’s 2nd Android Phone in our Samsung Moment Video/Pictures post from CTIA. But Engadget got to take one directly out of the cradle and took [...]

We’ve heard Dell is hard at work on some fresh Android stuff but what we’ve seen so far hasn’t blown us away. This, however, is a little bit more interesting. The folks at Tinhte got their hands on an engineering sample of the Dell Streak that is said to have an 800×480 touch screen, 5MP [...]

Talk about a furious pace – the economy might suck but Google obviously sees this as a pivotal time to boost their lead in software and services, entering new markets left and right. Today it was rumored by TechCrunch that Google is working on a music service, explained to me by Raji Aboulhosn: The folks [...]

Get used to it. A new handset is leaked/rumored. There isn’t a lot of information but its existence becomes known. The next logical question becomes – does it run Android? That’s what we’re asking ourselves about the Motorola Devour which recently passed through the Wi-Fi certification ranks. Considering Motorola is making Android its focus, there [...]

As if those crazy kids at BGR needed another leak under their faucet, they’ve just posted the first images of a Motorola Droid promotional mailer sent out to an undisclosed recipient. It continues the rhetoric begun by the initial ad/video along the Droid Does lines but drops the iDon’t attitude: As the mailer says, “In [...]
