In an attempt to contravene any negative image Apple may have bestowed upon their brand after the almighty “Antennagate” press conference Apple held this past Friday, HTC’s brought out their handy book of numbers. Apple claims that – of the three million+ iPhone 4s they’ve sold – just over half of one percent called to [...]

If you didn’t already catch AT&T in the act of selling this device ahead of street date, then you can now walk into any of their retail locations to grab up the newly released Samsung Captivate – a Galaxy S smartphone. The device is available for $499.99 without a two-year contract and $199.99 if you [...]

Verizon released a full version of the commercial they teased us with yesterday, and if you had a keen eye you may have caught a a series of letters and numbers hidden within the TV spot. If you used that same keen eye while perusing the new DroidDoes page from Verizon you may have also [...]

Yelp is continuing it’s location-oriented dominance, now boasting close to one million downloads of their Android app since last December when it launched. Their number of active mobile users is growing by 50 percent each week, and now stands at 2.5 million. A large portion of this number does come from their iPhone userbase, but [...]

Sine Google announced plans to cease the sale of their flagship Android handset the Nexus One through their online store, we have all stood by waiting for the plug to finally be pulled. Sadly, the time has now come as Google received their final shipment of Nexus One phones from HTC this week. Once this [...]

The first Snaptic developer challenge recently came to an end, with winner Peter Ma earning a trip to TEDGlobal 2010. For the second round of the challenge, Snaptic is partnering with the 2010 Health2.0 Challenge to again ask, “What can you do to inspire movement?” Using the Snaptic API, developers are asked to make Android [...]

It was by no means easy for Android hackers to break down the walls surrounding the HTC Droid Incredible, but the task was accomplished. If the whole process of rooting your Incredible the old-fashioned way is just a bit too much to wrap your head around, Unrevoked has now made their one-click root method functional [...]

The Verizon Wireless online store may well indicate that those ordering the Motorola Droid X are currently subject to waiting until July 23rd for their handsets to ship, but according to insider sources regular shipments are headed to local VZW stores to thwart any diminishing supplies. Your best bet is to call around to your [...]

If you live in Iowa and missed out on all of the Droid X scavenger hunt hoopla, AT&T wants to fill your prize-finding fix. Sure, the HTC Aria handsets they are giving away aren’t quite the same as the impressive phone from Motorola that just dropped yesterday, but that isn’t the only thing you could [...]

When you walk into the AT&T store this Sunday to grab your new Samsung Captivate (that’s if you haven’t already been able to do it), you’ll find the norm: a cardboard box, a phone inside, some manuals, unneeded plastic, and the accessories to accompany your shiny new device. If you’re a suit-wearing AT&T higher-up, however, [...]

Motorola’s chimed in with Engadget to clear up all of the eFuse confusion. To keep the story short and sweet: it’s in the Motorola Droid X, and it is in fact enabled. How it works is a different story, though. Instead of bricking the device upon finding unapproved software, it will boot into recovery mode [...]

Vodafone’s been hard at work on getting FroYo ready for their Nexus One, and that day is finally nearing. For Germans at least, you can put your torches down (make sure they’re extinguished first, though) as they’ve tweeted that it’ll be ready in the next few days (translated). We’re not sure if the same can [...]

Clove‘s just about set to offer the Motorola Milestone XT720 this Monday. The device has already been shipping through retailer Expansys for a couple of weeks now, but it’s always nice to have options. They’ll be offering the device without a contract for 381 pounds for the UK market. The device is pretty capable. It’s [...]

Looks like Telus got a bit careless when cooking up their order page for the HTC Desire. The source code for the coming soon page shows that the device will be offered for $299.95 on a 3-year contract to start. If you only want to commit to two years, you can get it for $399.95, [...]

Cyanogen and the army he leads has some exciting things in store for the HTC EVO 4G’s CyanogenMod6 adaptation. It’s not just going to be Froyo with the standard set of bells and whistles like we’re used to in Cyanogen’s offerings. He’s really taking an interest in the EVO’s unique features and wants to make [...]

I can’t imagine any Samsung Behold 2 owners are happy about the way the company’s handled this upgrade process. We first thought they’d be bringing Android 2.1 to the device – even if it would take them forever to do so. After learning they’d be bringing an OTA soon enough, it was revealed that it [...]

While Google may be slow on flipping the paid apps switch for many countries around the world (including an alarming amount of fairly big European countries), they’re at least trying. Yesterday, the folks in Korea have gotten the ability to go ahead and whip out their wallets to throw down on some paid app goodness. [...]

A few days ago, one of our members at AndroidForums.com suggested that the rumored OTA update for the HTC Droid Incredible would land on July 16th with a few lucky users possibly getting in on a soft launch before then. While we had no reason to disbelieve the rumor, reports like these come in all [...]

After Telus officially announced the HTC Desire yesterday, we thought all was well. We didn’t think to look too deep into the presser for any details that would make the device stand out from its European counterpart. After putting the details under the microscope, one thing is missing: they didn’t make any mention of an [...]

If you were itching to get the Droid X directly from Verizon but haven’t yet pulled the trigger, you’re in for a teeny wait; the website is now indicating that new orders will be shipped by July 23rd. That’s about a week away and good news for Verizon. Sure, they’d probably prefer to have even [...]
