Launched in November 2009, the Samsung Galaxy Spica featured Android 1.5 and will be upgraded to 2.1 at some point of the second quarter this year. The news is coming via Telix.pl and says that Samsung Poland has confirmed the upgrade. The Android 2.1 update will be available through the Samsung Apps application store in [...]

LG has announced via Twitter, that owners who have the Eve will be getting an OS update this Spring. Unfortunately for Roger’s customers, the update appears to be only through LG’s and Rogers’ sites instead of OTA. So for the rest of us who will hopefully get a 2.1 update in the Spring, our Canadian [...]

So, we decided to take a look at a bunch of home replacement apps available in the market. We have chosen to take a look at Panda Home, Open Home, dxTop, aHome, and GDE. We have enjoyed playing with the various apps and thought we would bring our thoughts to you. PandaHome-FREE Although it seems [...]

The first Samsung Android Phone running Android 2.1, which also happens to be the first Samsung Android Phone for the home market of South Korea, has just been announced. Enjoy these pictures of the Samsung SHW-M100S which we’re hoping will get a cuter name when it is launched on SK Telecom in March: As for [...]

Flying from Las Vegas back to Baltimore, we showed you leaked pictures of the Gigabyte GSmart Android Phone. To refresh your memory… they are the pictures below: Welp, hate to tell you but they’re fake. Matt from TraceyAndMatt spoke with a close connection at Gigabyte who said while they ARE working on an Android Phone [...]

Here ye, here ye, Xperia X10 fans in the UK! If you’ve been looking for a solid date that you’ll be able to take ahold of the Sony Ericsson Android phone that has been lighting up the rumor scene for what seems like YEARS – your wait is now limited. Vodafone UK is showing an [...]

Enough already! That’s what one guy who wanted an Xperia X10 must have thought about the delays so he took upon it himself to fulfill his urge. Yup… he ported Android to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10: That’s actually looking pretty darn good! There are a few things not working at the moment, like bluetooth, [...]

Good old QR codes. To some people they are brilliant and to others they are just random barcode thingies that they have no clue about other than they look like barcode thingies. If you’re in the latter group, read this. If you’re in the former group watch this: Pretty cool little integration, right? I wonder [...]

The folks at Gizmodo Brazil snagged some pictures of the upcoming Motorola Zeppelin. It’s looking like it will rock Android 1.5 and come with MOTOBLUR in tow. The guys at TMOnews are maintaining a March 10th launch date so prepare yourselves now – that’s less than 1.5 months away! More pictures over at Giz Braz [...]

China Mobile has a custom build of Android on devices they call OPhones and their custom platform – again, based on Android – is named the Open Mobile System. But in a recent press release, the carrier announced that their Android Phones will have support for Windows Mobile API. What in the… ??? Here is [...]

The Nexus One admittedly had 3G connectivity issues. But equally disturbing is that users trying to gain support for their problems were met with silence and dead ends. Andy Rubin himself acknowledged the company needed to improve in the “support” department and you’ve got to cut them some slack – they’ve never been in this [...]

Apparently if you have more than one Nexus One you have… Nexii. At least according to Roto Meier who tweeted that he gave 70 Nexii to developers attending the London development event: There are a bunch of other developer sessions over the next month in different areas but I’m guessing, with this news, they’re all [...]

Verizon looks poised to go on an Android tear – they’ve already got the Droid and Droid Eris with the Devour on the way, and a little birdie is claiming that 2 LG Android Phones will launch on Big Red before April! Take this as rumor of supreme form (salt!), but it wouldn’t be the [...]

The Motorola Devour sitting next to the Nexus One… what a beautiful sight: It looks physically bigger than the Nexus but the screen size is smaller. And if you peak at the keyboard, the whole package kind of makes me think that the Motorola Droid had sexy-time with the T-Mobile G1 and the Motorola Devour [...]

The guitar styled hotness that was the MyTouch 3G Fender Edition is no more – the device has sold out. Rumor also has it that regular MyTouch 3G phones are low on supply as the Black MyTouch 3G is no longer an option for upgraders. The likely cause? A MyTouch 1.2 that adds a 3.5mm [...]

I just got an E-Mail from Motorola that further teases their upcoming MOTOBLUR-related SuperBowl advertisement. You remember… the one with the untoweled person off screen? The links for YouTube, Facebook and Twitter only lead to generic Motorola accounts so no hints there, and viewing the source code didn’t provide any nuggets either. But clicking through [...]

We showed you the box, handed you the press release and now we’re bringing you the full specs for the 4-row keyboarded Motorola Devour. Among the highlights (in addition to the keyboard) are: Android 1.6, 3MP camera, 3.5mm headset jack, MOTOBLUR, 3.1-inch touchscreen, and 8GB MicroSD upgradeable to 32GB. For full specs, hit up the [...]

If you haven’t gotten your 3G-fixing, Pinch-To-Zoom-enabling, Google-Gogglesing(?) Nexus One OTA update yet, it is very possible that you’ve locked yourself in a small room and have begun crying. Phandroid not only a shoulder you can cry on but also an answer to turn your frown upsi- yeah no I’m not gonna say that. Here [...]

One of the developers on the Mozilla Firefox team is a guy named Vladimir Vukićević and he has just made a really interesting post on his blog about Firefox and Android. Basically, they’ve got the FULL FIREFOX browser working on Android and although it has some kinks (which he explains) it seems to be working [...]

Putting all the other specs aside, which screen is best across all Android phones? Many would choose the 3.7-inch screen on the Nexus One, but unlike number-backed specs, video playback and overall look/feel of a screen are mostly conclusions of opinion. But evidence always helps and that’s what the guys from HDBlog (translated to English) [...]
