Some of you who pre-ordered your T-Mobile G2 from T-Mobile themselves will be receiving them before the weekend kicks off. For everyone else, you’re either going to have to wait until October 6th or bank on this internal screenshot from Radio Shack sent from an anonymous tipster that says they’ll be offering it October 3rd [...]

T-Mobile said their customers would have an exclusive preorder opportunity for their first HSPA+ phone – the T-Mobile G2 – not too long ago. Fans were distraught as third party retailers Best Buy and Radioshack opened their flood gates before T-Mobile even mentioned word of a pre-order date. Some of you who stuck with T-Mobile [...]

It’s nothing new that hardware manufacturers like to send their test grunts out into the harsh, cold, cruel world with nothing but their dignity and an in-development cell phone to put through its paces for quality assurance, so it doesn’t surprise me to learn that Kyle from Android Guys saw a guy using an as-of-yet [...]

We’re hearing that the JI5 update for the Samsung Vibrant is now available through Samsung’s syncing and update app – Kies. As soon as you download the app, you can pull in the latest update and apply it to your Samsung Vibrant which will bring about a number of maintenance fixes including – yes – [...]

While watching Paul from MoDaCo’s unboxing video of the Orange San Francisco earlier today, I noticed he said he’d already rooted the phone. It may not be the most popular device in the development community, but a rooted device opens up a lot of possibilities for people with the knowhow to put to good use. [...]

That recent OTA update that went out for the Samsung EPIC 4G didn’t address the upload speeds as we all hoped it would, but Sprint wasn’t ignoring the issue – it probably just wasn’t ready yet. It looks like it’s ready now, however, as a Sprint Admin on their support forums has updated us on [...]

We often joke about and scrutinize phones from the Chinese gadget world as devices are often ridiculously bad or blatant ripoffs of other successful handsets. It’s especially a problem in the phone and tablet world, but a lot of quality still comes out of China (Meizu shows us that.) Coolpad’s N930 is one of those [...]

He alluded to this before, but developer Federico Carnales – the man behind the Android launcher alternative LauncherPro (Plus) – has officially announced his plans to begin building LauncherPro from the ground up. Everyone may ask “why? It works perfectly fine as it is.” While a great app, LauncherPro’s shortcomings come into play where the [...]

Motorola’s gearing up to launch their next Android-based iDEN phone as the Motorola i886 just traversed through the FCC in familiar fashion. The FCC filing brought to surface the phone’s user guide which gives us a very clear look at what we’re getting. It’s unique not just because it’s the first Android-based iDEN with a [...]

Rumors of an Android app store run by Amazon have caused quite a stir, but they have remained merely rumors. But now a leaked Distribution Agreement for the supposed Amazon app store is lending a whole dose of truth to the whispering. It still remains to be seen when we will hear of a formal [...]

If you have been ticking the days off the calendar waiting for tomorrow so you could get the Motorola Droid R2-D2 (who would have guessed this day might come before you could land a real girlfriend), anticipating the launch party and hoping it in some way might rekindle the magic of those midnight lines for the [...]

Canadian carrier Fido has just scored its first Android handset, the Liquid Acer E. While the phone may be showing its age a bit, it is available for a price that could never get old. For $30 dollars you can grab the handset on a three-year voice and data agreement. If it has been a [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Beam had the potential to be a pretty innovative device with it’s built in projector for playing your media nice and big on any surface without the need for TV hookups. To that extent, it accomplished its goal, but its limited distribution gimped the phone from making any sort of larger impact. [...]

While details on a release date are still sketchy, Logitech has big plans for their Revue Google TV box. The set-top Android device should hit shelves just in time for the holiday season, and the company and its partners are hoping Google TV will be the must-have gift. So confident is Logitech in the Revue [...]

Quick. How do you get the attention of a room full of Japanese people? Robots. Big remote controlled robots. And that is exactly what this RIC Android did at the Google Developer’s Day in Tokyo. The big green Droid can walk, move its arms, and open wide to reveal a set of speakers all through [...]

Vodafone, who released their first own-branded handset earlier this year, is at it again with the next edition to their Android familt. The Vodafone 945 is 100 digits away from its 845 predecessor and features some decent improvements and a slightly sleeker form factor. Unlike the 845, the 945 will feature a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen. [...]

I love all the things people have been able to do with the Nexus One. It really is a testament to Google releasing a phone that they wanted to get into developers’ hands with an OS that is capable of doing so much more than just making phone calls and sending texts. We have already [...]

We have been hearing about the altek Leo off and on for the past few months, and even though the phone will carry Android 2.1 and a screen on the smaller size at 3.2-inches any possible hardware and software shortcomings you could think of are immediately forgotten in light of the phones epic 14MP camera [...]

Not so long ago we caught wind of a confirmed 7-inch Android tablet coming from Dell to fill in the product range between the Streak and an iPad-sized variant. The 10-inch tab won’t be hitting shelves for 6-12 months, but the 7-inch version will be coming to shelves in a mere matter of weeks according [...]

Just when you thought there was nothing left to desire about the original Desire, HTC and Orange are busting out a new color scheme to entice people one last time to purchase the handset that blew up all over the UK last spring. The white HTC Desire is now available for pre-order for as low [...]
