The first Canadian carrier announced to get the Samsung Galaxy S was Bell Wireless, though along with that announcement came the promise that other Galaxy S phones would make their way to the country. The phone announced for Bell was named as the Vibrant, though it was not clear whether it would be the same [...]

For all of those shocked and awed by the Apple’s announcement that as of last Friday they had sold 3 million iPhone 4 handsets, I’d like to take a moment to direct everyone’s attention over to John Battelle’s Searchblog. In his post he takes a rather bold stance, one much of the blogosphere hasn’t even [...]

While I was mulling over the Samsung Galaxy S, reviewing its features and beefy hardware, one aspect I was never able to explore was video calling via the front-facing camera found on the international version of the phone. Not knowing anyone else with a Galaxy S I turned to fring in attempts to set up [...]

The Samsung YP-MB2 (Galaxy S without the phone) has been gaining steam in recent weeks in regards to information leaks, but no one’s complaining. Korean outlet DDaily says that the device will have a weaker camera than the Galaxy S (3MP) and will be 299,000 won ($250). So far, we know this much about the [...]

Oh, boy: that rumor is starting to turn up again. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of Verizon playing around with the idea of capping data usage for their wireless subscribers, but Engadget suggests Verizon could be finally set to impose those data caps – and that it could be happening before July 2010 [...]

It hasn’t been more than an hour since we reported Google expected their last shipment of Nexus One devices to last for no more than 10 days, and the phone’s already gone. Looks like the pressure cooker got a bunch of would-be buyers impulsive in opening their wallets to nab one before the device was [...]

[Update]: My article was worded incorrectly to suggest T-Mobile had 85-million subscribers on their network. That is false. I’ve updated the text to reflect that they’re covering 85-million Americans – some of which aren’t necessarily T-Mobile customers. T-Mobile’s announcing their biggest Anerican HSPA+ expansion yet as they’re now covering 85-million Americans (all are not necessarily [...]

Well this isn’t good. Motorola’s apparently undecided on whether or not they’ll ever bring FroYo to the “European Droid” – otherwise known as the Motorola Milestone. In a forum post over at Motorola’s site, marketing director for the European region James King states that – due to all of the things that must be considered [...]

If you were planning on buying a Nexus One soon, you’ve probably already heard that Google’s received their last shipment. Thankfully, Google’s been doing some homework and has figured that their remaining stock could be depleted within 10 days. It sounds like more than enough time to grab one straight from Mountain View, but the [...]

Some of you Cellular South customers were disappointed that the regional carrier missed their “first half of 2010″ window by nearly a month now, but a few weeks never hurt anyone. You can now download your upgrade to Android 2.1 for manual installation (sorry, folks: no OTA to be had here). Be sure to stop [...]

Eclairr’s making a steady climb up the ladder according to the latest platform versions chart released by Google. According to them, 55% of Android handsets accessing the market within the last two weeks were Android 2.1-based.  The last time we visited this scenario, the version had just reached the halfway mark and FroYo began its [...]

Acer’s finally ready to release the Acer Stream, and they’re doing it through UK retailer Expansys. The device – announced back in late May – is equipped with a 3.7-inch capacitive AMOLED display, will come preloaded with Android 2.1 and Acer’s custom interface, a 1GHz processor, HDMI, 720p video recording capabilities, and more. The device [...]

The LG Ally might be one of Verizon’s lesser-known phones at the moment, but it’s still a capable piece of hardware and there are people out there who love it. That being said, they’re set to receive some OTA love this weekend as Verizon’s rolling out an update to address several issues and provide some [...]

Sprint’s version of the Galaxy S – the Samsung EPIC 4G – has finally hit the FCC. We’re well on our way to a release date if history is anything to model after. While there wasn’t much to be had from the filing, the description has the device carrying CDMA, EVDO, and WiMAX radios. That [...]

Verizon’s come out to publicly acknowledge the screen defects that some of their launch day Droid X units are plagued with. Some people were experiencing extreme levels of screen tearing and banding, while others were faced with a screen that would not stop flickering. Apparently, .1% of users are affected by the problem – so [...]

As of today the first iDEN push-to-talk Android phone to come onto the market is now available at Boost Mobile retails stores. For the price of $299.99 you’ll get a pay as you go smartphone featuring a 3.1-inch touchscreen military grade hardware to combat the roughest elements and keep our little green robot safe. The [...]

If the spy shot of the Motorola Droid 2 running Froyo (Android 2.2) wasn’t enough to convince you that the phone will come with Google’s latest version of the OS at launch, maybe these leaked shots of a Verizon device database will sway your mind. The shots — though they don’t do much to confirm [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S is one of the many top-notch Android smartphones that launched during an awkward and unfortunate window just after Android 2.2 was announced but before it was readily available to get prepped and come pre-installed at launch. Now owners of these phones have to play the waiting game as promised Android 2.2 [...]

So the rumors up to this point have pointed pretty strongly towards the Motorola Droid 2 launching on August 23rd, but new information is coming in that the phone we just saw leaked running Android 2.2 could hit Verizon stores as early as August 12th. This would be a soft roll-out getting little promotion up [...]

SCVNGR, the check-in/scavenger hunt game you can play on your Android or iPhone handset, has been struggling to find its legs against rivals like Gowalla and Foursquare. A humble listing of 10-50,000 downloads from the Android Market is chump change compared to the 250,000 plus (most likely even greater, maybe even nearer to a million, [...]
