The Motorola Droid isn’t the only Verizon Android slated for an OTA update. You saw the Droid internal document detailing a huge list of problems/bugs and pointing out a December 11th target date for an Over-The-Air fix. It appears the HTC Droid Eris (ADR6200) wants in on the action: So HTC Droid Eris owners… we [...]

The Motorola Droid was launched less than a week ago but we’re already eying a December 11th OTA update that will cure a defined list of software issues. Defined by who, you ask? Verizon Wireless themselves. An anonymous tipster has sent us an internal 5-page document detailing problems with the Droid, something they claim was [...]

I wanted the first article I wrote for Phandroid to be something simple and quick. This is not that article and I’m sorry for that. But this is a subject that has been bothering me for the last 2 weeks or so. Why should you care you ask?  That is simple enough to answer if [...]

It appears that LG will be bringing a Snapdragon device to the mobile world come quarter two of 2010 – unfortunately for US/European Andriod enthusiasts the device – which has yet to be named – will be heading to Korea. Outside of boasting the sexy Snapdragon processor we don’t know much else about the device. [...]

When I initially did my Motorola Droid Review, I experienced problems setting up my Yahoo E-Mail. Weird, especially considering my T-Mobile G1 set it up flawlessly over a year ago, only needing my user name and password to get things rolling. I’m not sure WHY there is a disconnect with Android 2.0 on the Motorola [...]

First there was the European HTC Hero with its defined chin. Then there was the Sprint HTC Hero which had face lift including some brushed metallic plastic surgery. And most recently we’ve seen the HTC Droid Eris for Verizon which takes yet another deviation from the orginal Hero hardware design. But don’t get it confused [...]

Look what we have here – the Samsung Behold 2 captured on video. They were showing this phone off at CTIA but it was securely protected inside a glass box to prevent us from getting anything but a glimpse. But a little time has passed and Samsung’s first Touchwiz enabled Android Phone, which is headed [...]

Two years ago, the prospect of Garmin launching their own phone was rather awesome. After repeated delays, interest wavered amongst the tech-loving public and last month, the Garmin Nuvifone launched to limited excitement. Sure… commercials for the phone running on AT&T’s service are everywhere, but… does anyone care? Garmin missed their window of opportunity. And [...]

To say that HTC helped pioneer the adoption of Android hardware isn’t an opinion – its fact. Up to this point, HTC has introduced the HTC Dream, HTC Magic and several variations of the HTC Hero with many more phones in the works. But could an HTC Android Netbook soon be in the fold? This [...]

Earlier today the FCC approved Dell’s first Android phone, the Mini 3ix. AT&T is expected to carry Dell’s Mini 3iX in Q1 2010. Initially Dell reps said the phone would just be available in China. However, with AT&T falling behind the android market share it would make sense to have a proven product. Unlike the [...]

Round 1 of the 2nd Android Developers Challenge kicked off without a bang and ended the same way. The new element of “user testing/voting” didn’t seem to generate the level of interest some anticipated, but perhaps Round 2 will be different. Google has sent out an Email to 200 developers who have successfully made it [...]

If you never thought mobile music streaming would become as big of a deal as it already is on the Android platform, then I’m sorry to say that you’ve been sorely disappointed. Android support may be a little late to the game, but the rapid insurgence of new apps from these premier online radio providers [...]

Photoshop is hands down the most popular professional image editing tool. In fact, the brand has reached the pinnacle of success where the actual brand name becomes a verb like Google, Kleenex, and Xerox. When a picture is obviously edited you say it was “photoshopped” regardless of what picture editing tool was actually used. Guess [...]
