Over at MobileReview (translated) they’ve gotten their hands on the scorching hot Samsung Galaxy S and have provided a full review that, even after jumping the language hurdle, seems pretty insightful. The thing that leaps out the most is a more specific price and date, something that has yet to be officially announced. The Galaxy [...]

Americans weren’t the only lucky Droid owners getting 2.1 today – Motorola just announced that they’ll bring the Milestone to India as the first Android device to get 2.1 in the country.

Like it or not (the device that is), the Apple iPad will hundreds of thousands of units, in fact it already has and it isn’t even released yet! There is clearly a strong draw to the product, not only because of the Apple brand, but because of the tablet form factor that seems to have [...]

If you’ve got the 2.1 itch but  don’t want to go through all the trouble of waiting for that pesky OTA to arrive – the folks over at AndroidForums have the solution for you! One of our Guides, Trident, has worked with a couple other users to get the ESE81 2.1 file and put together [...]

We heard that Sprint would be announcing SOMETHING today, and we thought it would be regarding data plans – we were only half right. Instead of providing a new pricing structure for smartphone data, the company announced a policy for new customers that – within 30 days of an agreement – would allow them to [...]

Aside from the beautiful Japanese women in the picture below, something immediately jumps out at me – the form factor of the device shown on the left. It’s an Android device produced by Sharp, tentatively called the ISO1, that will launch on Japan’s second largest carrier – AU by KDDI. I can’t help but be [...]

There are touchscreen only fans and hardware keyboard fans and some folks are adamant about having it one way or another. That’s why when an amazing mobile phone like the Motorola Droid – or in this case the Samsung Galaxy S – are announced, one knee-jerk reaction is to wonder what the phone would be [...]

Earlier this month we saw the Gigabyte Codfish swim onto the Android scene with a 5MP camera, 3.2-inch screen, very few details and nothing official. The company DOES produce a line of mobile phones called GSmart but they all seem to run on Windows Mobile, with this “leak” being their first Android attempt. Consider the [...]

We had a feeling (not to mention a bunch of evidence) that the Kyocera Zio would launch on Cricket as the carriers first Android phone – and we were right. Over at BGR they’ve got a full presentation chock-full of Cricket’s 2010 devices and what is one of the featured phones? None other than the [...]

The LG Swift has successfully tiptoed onto the scene – first appearing in a User Agent Profile, then making a quiet appearance at CES 2009 in Las Vegas, and now subtly showing for pre-order at Play.com as the LG Swift GT540 due to be released April 30th. We’re not exactly sure what you’ll get for [...]

Just as soon as I published an article explaining that the HTC EVO 4G for Sprint won’t be able to handle simultaneous voice and data, readers began commenting and linking to an official update on the issue. Sprint has in fact tweeted clarification, claiming the EVO will do voice & data when on Wi-Fi, not [...]

It wasn’t just the idea to use Eric Clapton as the frontman for their MyTouch 3G Fender Limited Edition campaign that pushed the phone to sellout in record time, the phone stands on its own two feet by looking like a rockstar itself. I mean look at that gorgeous mug on the left – THAT [...]

AndroidForums member MartinSchirr has compiled the highly sought after “Firefox for Android” (AKA Fennec) for Android and got it up and running on his Motorola Milestone. He didn’t just accomplish the feat and brag – he gave it two video demoes (one featuring Phandroid) and put together a website on how you can accomplish the [...]

The Motorola Backflip has its lovers and has its haters – but lets put this particularly unique piece of hardware aside. A good portion of the phone’s criticism has come because of AT&T’s insistence on locking down Android. Not only do they bloat up you phone with ATTware, prevent you from removing/deleteing said bloat, but [...]

It is quite clear that Verizon and AT&T are the two powerhouses in the American mobile market. As the two have battled it out publicly in commercials – app for that, map for that, 3G coverage claims and everything else you can imagine – AT&T does have one undeniable benefit over Verizon. Simultaneous voice and [...]

Our tipster was really a tipster and not an April Fools Day prankster – the Droid 2.1 update has begun rolling out, albeit to a select few! While all the gadget sites have begun reporting the leaked internal Verizon employee E-Mail outlining the update, one member at AndroidForums has already received it: He included his [...]

Either we have an anonymous tipster in-the-know or someone took some time to play a very mean April Fools joke on us. We’re hearing a rumor – one that we cannot verify or deny so take it at face value – that Verizon Wireless will begin a Droid update today. Don’t hold your breath, we’ve [...]

Epic tech fiend Joshua Topolsky from Engadget got his mittens on the Dell Aero and the outcome wasn’t good. He immediately noticed the software keyboard was one of the worst ever and his analysis continued down that slippery path. AT&T bloatware, lack of Google applications, weird home/back button, medium speed UI… he simply wasn’t digging [...]
