Way back when the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 was first rumored it stole ALL of the high-end Android limelight but since then the Motorola Droid has taken over the torch in that arena. Afterall… SE is notoriously delayed in launching their Xperia phones so why get excited over nothing? Here is why: Ericsson (the latter [...]

Another pretty hot looking Android handset has slipped through the cracks and appeared at TheUnlockr though no details were included: The time and the part after “Welcome to” were blocked out to avoid the tipster from being identified – just a safety precaution. The only information we know about this phone is what we can [...]

The Motorola Droid for Verizon Wireless is all but official. And now, thanks to the Droid Does campaign, we’re pretty sure it will get official on October 30th with a launch sometime in November launch. But a Phandroid reader claims to have found the EXACT launch date with a simple Google Search: Notice the Verizon [...]

The Verizon Wireless marketing department is playing this very, VERY well. Ever since the Motorola Sholes was rumored it has by FAR been the most discussed/desired Android Phone to date. There were little itty bitty leaks here and there but nothing official. Heck, Verizon and Google even announced a partnership, held up the phone to [...]

Less than a month ago the Motorola Sholes passed through the FCC. Today, again, the Motorola Sholes passed through the FCC. Why twice you ask? Because the one that passed today is the GSM version of the Sholes/Droid! This equipment is a GSM portable transceiver, which operates in the 850, 900,1800 and 1900 MHz PCS [...]

Alright my fellow Android lovers this is a biggie! We’re all dying to know what Android 2.0 is all about and BGR has done it again – publishing a MONSTER article that shows off Android 2.0 in great detail. I’ll summarize the high points but you’ll definitely want to check out the BGR for the [...]

“Welcome to Mobile Phone Island where Mt. Android is about to erupt on all the little peon hills that claim to be mobile operating systems. For so many years those heaps of crap sat dormant and now, when Mt. Android flings gobs of hot handset lava all over the world, those punk bitches had better [...]

We heard offiicial reports that the UK was supposed to start receiving Android 1.6 Donut on October 19th but it seems (for once) that things are happening a little bit early. A few UK Android owners over are reporting they’ve already received the OTA Donut update. And get this… at AndroidForums.com it was a T-Mobile [...]

The Acer Liquid A1 has really been making the rounds lately! The naming thing still isn’t worked out but I’m thinking that “Acer Liquid” is the equivalent of HTC Sense, MOTO BLUR, etc… while “Acer A1” is still the name of the actual phone. Similar confusion occurred at the HTC Hero launch despite HTC making [...]

The number of custom Android builds/UIs is bound to grow and one upcoming entrant will be Acer with their “Liquid” build of Android. Whereas HTC Sense is a pretty drastic makeover and Motorola BLUR mainly touches on social aspects, Acer took a middle of the road approach with Liquid. They make non-invasive improvements to Android [...]

The folks at HDblog.it took their Samsung Galaxy and fashioned it with a little something special – a custom baked version of HTC Sense. They must have known we wanted to watch because they recorded the video in English: It is unclear whether this ROM makes use of the actual HTC Sense software or whether [...]

Someone has their hands on the Motorola Droid – what appears to be the official name of the much and long rumored Motorola Sholes, the very first Android Phone for Verizon Wireless. Check this video of the Moto Droid boot up video posted by BGR: I’m not quite ready to change that “Motorola Sholes” name [...]

The folks at Italian website CellularMania.net have gotten their hands on the Samsung Galaxy Lite and done a detailed photo shoot with the device. The phone comes with model number i5700 and given the name may now be Samsung Spica or Samsung Galaxy Spica, along with its spotting in Italian, I’m not too confident this [...]

The Samsung Moment is headed to Sprint on November 1st and I’m a little surprised other sites haven’t covered it much so far. It was on display at CTIA and I took a little video and snapped some pictures, included below for your viewing pleasure. Overall I really liked the Samsung Moment, mostly because I [...]

To me – this bit of news is uninteresting. But seeing as how several people sent it in via the tip line I figured I would pass it along. Basically some site says Michael Dell, Dell CEO, said they would be launching a smartphone next year. We pretty much already knew this and pretty much [...]

The folks at G4TV got their hands on the Archos 5 Android Internet Tablet and put it through the paces. The bottom line? It handled video well but Android was sluggish, it had some problems with crashing in the browser, the screen felt plasticky, it only worked on Wi-Fi, and while super thin it was [...]

A bunch of sites are starting to post their Motorola CLIQ reviews and we wanted to share the general consensus with you folks. We would share our own complete review but – (frownie face) – we haven’t gotten anything yet. So in lieu of our own extremely awesome review on the web, here is what [...]

It’s official: the Motorola Sholes is launching “very soon”. Unfortunately “very soon” is a relative term: having to pee very soon could mean a few minutes or a few hours while saying you’ll get a new job very soon, in this economy, could mean a few days or a few decades. So what is “very [...]

It is indeed a small world (enjoy: that song makes me want to kill myself) but its still big enough to screw us out of one-on-one time with the first Acer Android Phone, dubbed the A1 on the Acer Liquid line of phones. Lucky for us the folks at CNET UK got their hands on [...]

We saw oversized Cupcakes and Donuts make their way to the Googleplex to hang out with the Android Robot… now its time for some Eclair! This is cool right now… but what happens when we’re all the way to Sherbert and Googleplex looks like Neverland Ranch? I’m not sure if they’ll keep all of those [...]
