Last week, a rumor began swirling by way of BGR regarding a new update that Sprint and HTC would be pushing out OTA to fix several more issues with the HTC EVO 4G. Specifically, WiFi fixes, changes to Exchange ActiveSync behavior, and fixes for Facebook sync features were said to be addressed with this update. [...]

After many of you expressed woes regarding the lack of support from Cyanogen and company (Koush, Chris Soyars, etc) for the HTC Droid Incredible, it’s been discovered that they will be supporting the device after all. The device was finally rooted recently – albeit with a very risky method – but it’s now just as [...]

Third party retailers such as Carphone Warehouse have been offering the unsubsidized version of the Dell Streak in the UK for some time now, and O2 has already officially launched the device for those that want to grab it up free on contract, but Dell’s now offering the device straight from their factory themselves. You [...]

What would a phone announcement be without the subsequent round of smaller, more petite leaks regarding the device? After getting the initial list of accessories to be launched with the Motorola Droid X, the complete user guide for the phone has been uploaded for everyone’s enjoyment (only Android geeks like us can get excited about [...]

With respect to entry-level Android devices (and the fans of said devices), it’s become a trend to expect anything other than the latest and greatest that Android has to offer. These bottom of the barrel offerings tend to sport older versions of Android either because not enough care was given to the software side or [...]

We can’t say we would be baffled that the Motorola Droid 2 would be shipping with the latest version of Android off the bat (the original Droid was launched with Eclair), but it’s always nice to entertain rumors just for entertainment’s sake. Android & Me has received a tip from one of their trusted sources [...]

Verizon was said to be the exclusive carrier of this device over here in the states (with their offering being named the LG Ally), but now a world-compatible GSM version is on its way. There’s nothing different from this version compared to what the Ally offers: 512MB ROM, 256MB of RAM, a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, [...]

After Samsung wrapped up their trifecta of Samsung Galaxy S phone announcements, the T-Mobile version (the Samsung Vibrant) just got even more official with a formal press release, an official site, and pricing/availability details. You can grab this device on July 21st for $199.99 on a two-year contract. Radio Shack will be the first to [...]

Let’s see: US Cellular announced they’d be getting four Android devices before year’s end. We knew about Samsung’s entry-level Acclaim, we know US Cellular’s planning on carrying the HTC Desire (whenever AMOLED shortages can be resolved), and now they’ve gone ahead and scooped up the Samsung Galaxy S, as well. There’s no word on if [...]

And just like that, another Galaxy S smartphone is introduced. Just after we reported on the announcement of the Samsung Epic 4G, we found Verizon’s getting a Galaxy S device of their own. The Samsung Fascinate joins an extensive line of new Galaxy S devices that Samsung’s bringing to nearly every corner of the world. [...]

In a pair of surprise (but not really so surprising) news releases this VERY early Monday, Sprint and Samsung are announcing the existence of another Galaxy S device. The Samsung EPIC 4G features the same 4-inch touchscreen, Samsung Hummingbird processor, and 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording as the other Galaxy S phones (this [...]

A pair of interesting stories have popped up this fine Sunday afternoon regarding one recent device and one up-until-now unheard of device from Motorola. Engadget’s come across a device called the Motorola Charm, which looks like it’s running a new version of MOTOBLUR. The device has a form factor that might hit home with some [...]

Pretty soon, we’re going to have to start reporting that all smartphones have gotten a port of Android 2.2! This time, hackers have disregarded the fantastic operating system that Maemo is and planted the latest version of Android on one of Nokia’s current flagship devices, the Nokia N900. Everything isn’t perfect – the device can’t [...]

We still haven’t seen Sprint or Best Buy launch the more desirable accessories we’re expecting (such as the HDMI dock and the official car mount) for the HTC EVO 4G. If you need a car mount and can’t wait until the middle part of the summer, then you could probably bend that HD2 car mount [...]

According to a Motorola rep, the Motorola Droid X is not running MOTOBLUR. The device isn’t running NinjaBlur, either. Just what is this thing running then? You still have the same MOTOBLUR widgets and the same MOTOBLUR UI customizations (albeit with slightly different visuals), but Motorola’s not too keen on calling it anything, at this [...]

Even though we’re a couple of days away from the official announcement, T-Mobile’s ready to start offering up some early specs and details about the device. The device is everything that we already know it to be: a revised Samsung Galaxy S. 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display, 1GHz Hummingbird processor, a 5-megapixel camera that can shoot [...]

If you are the owner of an HTC EVO 4G that came in a later shipment, you may be getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the screen you were promised. The same may go for upcoming shipments of the HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Desire, according to sources at OLED [...]

We touched on this briefly in our previous post covering Sprint’s tentative plans to bring Android 2.2 to their network on at least the HTC EVO 4G (and other Android 2.1 phones launching this year), but for those that missed it, official word through Sprint’s Twitter says the Samsung Moment and HTC Hero are not [...]

VoIP on smartphones is growing, with carriers like Verizon even suggesting that in the not-so-distant future calls placed via data connections will replace voice minutes as the standard. But before all that happens, quite a few companies have been getting in on the game, often touting reduced rates for calls routed through their services. Rebtel [...]

The quality of video recording available on today’s smartphones lends itself to creating some pretty intriguing cinematography, but the lack of quality and professional video accessories doesn’t exactly make it easy to get the most out of the camcorder that you carry with you everywhere you go. Enter Tiffen, who have created a peripheral that [...]
