Wow. Thanks to everyone who showed up for Phandroid LIVE in Baltimore and thanks to our sponsor – Verizon Wireless. I know the Phandroid Team had an amazing time and judging from the feedback, our first ever Phandroid LIVE event was a huge success. The event was from 6pm to 8pm and smack dab in [...]

Simply releasing a Motorola Droid 2 with internals capable of global roaming probably wouldn’t have done much to differentiate the world device from the D2 currently on Verizon’s shelves, so good thing Big Red decided to give the phone a cosmetic makeover (at least in the color department). This is our first look at what [...]

Updates! Get yer updates here! Everything must go, or that is how things are seeming today with the fourth announced update for an Android handset ready to roll out. First the Droid X got Android 2.2, then the Samsung Fascinate and Captivate each received their own minor update to clean up some bugs and throw [...]

Those with a bone to pick regarding the handling of GPS support on the Samsung Captivate should get some relief in the coming weeks, as Samsung and AT&T have announced an over-the-air update for the handset that should corral the hit or miss location functionality plaguing the device. The update will also bring other enhancements [...]

After Android has found a home on smartphones, televisions, and even home appliances, you may be wondering, “Where will we see the OS next?” I might just have an answer for you. Planes. That’s right, Thales and Panasonic are both planning on implementing Android in the next iteration of their in-flight touchscreen entertainment devices. Now [...]

Right after we get done hearing that the Android 2.2 update for the Galaxy S won’t be primed to go until the end of October, T-Mobile UK has come out saying that at least on their network the S will be getting it much sooner. By the end of September sooner. Then you will be [...]

Dropbox is updating their mobile apps across the board, and the latest version for Android brings some welcomed enhancements to the already awesome cloud file-sharing app. According to the folks at Dropbox there are currently about 100 mobile apps that use Dropbox integration, but the new version for Android also includes the built-in ability to [...]

To be honest, we don’t really know when the T-Mobile G2 will be available for sale or pre-order- different dates in late September and October have been floating around. But we’re not trying to stir up dust for nothing: in select MyT-Mobile account pages, users are seeing the T-Mobile G2 with a “Pre-ordering starts soon” [...]

If you don’t think you have seen enough of the HTC Desire HD over the past week or so, maybe HTC’s own video detailing the phone in — what else — HD on their YouTube page. Take a look at the uni-body construction broken down to just the casing and a full run-down of specs [...]

Hopefully this isn’t a trick and is only a treat, but Samsung Mobile’s Facebook page in Spain has posted a status update saying that the Samsung Galaxy S will be getting Android 2.2 in late October. These releases are definitely regionally oriented so its impossible to know if all Galaxy S owners can expect the [...]

Remember that rather lengthy list of ‘known issues’ for Verizon’s Samsung Fascinate? They are sure to be dealing with quite a few of those bugs with a new OTA update that will be released quietly in the shadow of the Droid X’s big Froyo update. The new update, i500.DI01, won’t bring the Fascinate up to [...]

I thought this day might never come, but just as I sit here so has Verizon begun to unload the Android 2.2 (Froyo) update for the Motorola Droid X, just as was promised yesterday. I will give you a second to collect yourselves as I’m sure you are now screaming and/or crying like a little [...]

Hey hey hey! We are here in lovely Baltimore for Phandroid LIVE, but we don’t want those who couldn’t make it missing out. We will be podcasting live from the event to discuss the latest in Android all the way from the Droid R2-D2 to the Samsung Galaxy Tab. If you’re here you’re in for [...]

We’re at Phandroid LIVE and while everyone here votes on their favorite T-Shirt – which will be put into production with the winning designer earning $200  - you can also vote at home! So check out the following designs, vote for your favorite, and by the end of the night we’ll have the plan for [...]

If you thought Verizon wasn’t going to do anything special for their launch of the R2D2 special edition of the Motorola Droid 2, then guess again. One store in Hialeah, Florida has already detailed their midnight launch event for this device where they’ll be having a Star Wars costume party in the parking lot starting [...]

Remember when Vodafone’s HTC Desire got an “upgrade” that placed a bunch of uninstallable Vodafone 360 apps on the device? Remember when you passionate customers put the fire beneath their bums and forced Vodafone to reverse their decision? Well the same looks to be happening with their Samsung Galaxy S, though it’s not certain if [...]

It’s been a few months since regional carrier Cellular South announced the Samsung Galaxy S – which looks to be more like the Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile in its appearance – and at that time we were only given a broad window of “Fall”. Well, Fall is almost literally right around the corner and Cellular [...]

Orange today announced official availability of the Orange San Francisco – a phone we once knew to be the ZTE Blade. As suspected, it’ll be a low-end offering for the wallet-conscious consumer coming in at £99. It’s not going to be an iPhone killer, of course, but if you’re looking to step into the Android [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard the rumor regarding the upgrade to Android 2.2 for Verizon’s Motorola Droid X coming on September 22nd (2.2 on 22, if you want to be cute), and you may have passed your own judgment on its believability. It looks like the 22nd might be the date after all, though, as it’s [...]

Amazon UK’s updated their listing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab to include a lower price and a hard date. According to their new listing, the device will definitely be released November 1st and will be offered for £599. That’s down from £799 we’ve all seen before. It’s still quite the investment, but at least it’ll [...]
