Well, your good buddy Dave is back with another unboxing video for you guys. This time it’s the brand spanking new, got it way before they said I would T-Mobile G2. Just a simple unboxing. Nothing fancy. Don’t mind my camera, either. I used another phone to do the video since my camera’s charger is [...]

Foursquare’s updated their Android app today – just as they promised – and version 2.0 brings some nice features and a graphical upgrade. Functionality wise, you can look forward to accessing tips and to-dos from your Foursquare friends on the go – something that was only available on the website prior to today’s update. It [...]

The updates for the Samsung Galaxy S family of phones continue to roll out, and just as Sprint promised the Samsung EPIC 4G is getting its own as I type this. The update brings about four big fixes for the second 4G handset from Sprint. The big point of interest is an increase in 3G [...]

The HTC Merge (aka Lexikon/Lexicon) User Guide has leaked, and if you thought Verizon was going to let go of Bing anytime soon you can think again. The guide shows off Bing as the default search engine and also confirms that the phone will indeed carry global radios and Froyo. DroidLife is reporting that the [...]

Users around the world have been begging for it, and Google is finally responding with the addition of 20 new countries to the list of those that can purchase paid apps in the Android Market. We first caught wind that more countries were being cycled in last week but today makes the announcement official. In [...]

Holy hot Androids, a lengthy list of upcoming Verizon devices has leaked and it looks like we are in for a whole heap of Android over the next 6 months. The list reveals a total of six new Android devices to be hitting Big Red and doesn’t skimp on the details. It looks like Motorola [...]

If you’re on the East Coast you may have noticed the torrential downpours and monsoon-like winds running rampant around the area, but fans still turned out en masse to be the first to own the limited Motorola DROID 2 Empire Strikes Back Edition (I too braved the weather to get my hands on the Droid [...]

A recent bit of news had Google expressly commenting that Android 2.2 wasn’t optimized for tablets, and the tech world immediately lost hope in currently announced tablets using that version of the OS and below. Instead the great Android tablet renaissance that was supposed to be coming this holiday season has been pushed back to [...]

Looks like yet another Samsung handset will join the Samsung Fascinate (with the as-of-yet unannounced Gem not making any noise for a while) on Verizon as shots of a Samsung Continuum – model number SCH-i400 – have just been uploaded to the intrawebz. There are two very significant things about this device: it is a [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S has yet to hit the land of the rising sun in any fashion since its debut, but that may be changing as we’ve learned NTT DoCoMo will be testing an Android-based eReader service using the Samsung Galaxy S and the Xperia X10 in late October. This is far form concrete confirmation, [...]

No surprise here, but T-Mobile UK’s had to delay the roll out of the upgrade to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S that they originally stated would be here by the end of the month (which would be the 30th. Which would be today.) It’s not exactly the longest of waits, however, as they [...]

Uh-oh. We’ve all jumped the gun on the JI5 update for the Samsung Vibrant that looks to address issues with the GPS and make other enhancements. T-Mobile’s asking everyone to hold off on updating their Samsung Vibrant until they announce the official OTA upgrade that they’ll be sending out due to known issues. Samsung’s also [...]

There’s a large gap between US Cellular and the carrier they sit beneath – T-Mobile – keeping them from gaining the national spotlight that they arguably deserve, but their announcement today of the Belief Project looks to shake things up a bit and make the wireless industry more competitive. Most of their changes aim to [...]

T-Mobile hasn’t fallen off the MOTOBLUR train yet, it seems. Engadget’s been tipped with some information regarding a supposed Motorola CLIQ 2 – codenamed Begonia (don’t ask because I don’t know either) – that will come with Android 2.2 and BLUR. It comes with WiFi calling, 3G hotspot support (something G2 owners won’t have) and [...]

Google Maps has just been updated in the Android market. There’s no official changelog to be had yet, but we’ve noticed that the live wallpaper bundled with the application now shows weather information wherever you are. This is pretty cool, but nothing worth clamoring about if you don’t even use this wallpaper. We’ll be checking [...]

Last night marked the arguably geeky launch of the R2D2 special edition of the Motorola DROID 2. Verizon stores across the country held launch parties leading up to a midnight launch of the phone where there were cosplay contests, fun and games, and more. We didn’t get a chance to get out to any of [...]

Google’s putting the Nexus One’s old domain to good use as they’ve just launched their own online Android phone comparison tool that features Android handsets that deliver the best Google experience (which means all of the Google services and Android market must be intact.) Their definition of best shortens this list a whole lot as [...]

Rise and shine, Sprint fans in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Pittsburgh: your 4G phone is ready to chow down on some hearty, tasty WiMax. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve seen Sprint launch 4G in more than one market, but that’s an irrelevant tidbit that you probably won’t care about. What you do care [...]

Two things: firstly, Sprint’s getting the Kyocera Zio. We already know what the almighty “Cricket Android phone” is all about, but this is the first we’ve ever heard of Sprint getting it. It sits with Sprint branding alongside another supposed Android handset that we’ve never seen – the Samsung Transform. This device looks a lot [...]

Well some of you actually got your devices sooner than we thought you would! One lucky reader of TmoNews’ already got his T-Mobile G2 and was gracious enough to give us a quick and dirty unboxing video. This will probably be our last post regarding the T-Mobile G2 for the night as we know we’re [...]
