It’s pretty hard to deny that the Motorola Atrix 4G is a powerful piece of hardware. When it launches, it should immediately become one of the top Android Phones available, especially surprising considering its resting place on AT&T’s lineup. Unfortunately, not ALL of the Atrix 4G’s power will be realized when it first launches. Most [...]

The Nexus S is a great phone but has definitely had its fair share of problems. First were the SMS bugs, which Samsung thankfully fixed by pushing Android 2.3.2 to these devices.

Life is good at Samsung – no pun intended, considering that’s the slogan of their primary competitor (LG) who had a rough 2010.

[UPDATE: It's Official - see press release below] Verizon’s Turn-By-Turn Driving software for its phones – VZ Navigator – has some tough competition.

Well I’ll be darned if tonight isn’t post unreleased phones to your website night – the Atrix 4G, Inspire 4G and now the Samsung Galaxy S 4G.

We just saw the Motorola Atrix 4G land on Amazon’s sales page for a puny $149 considering what you’re getting. Now the HTC Inspire has followed suit.. and it’s an even smaller suit. The HTC Inspire 4G is poised to be on sale at Amazon for only $99. The specs of the Inspire 4G don’t [...]

Rumors from within Android Forums already suggested as much, and PocketNow’s independent confirmation makes [...]

The Motorola Atrix 4G will cost $149.99 when purchased through Amazon, presumably with a 2-year contract: [...]

A new survey conducted by Pontiflex and Harris Interactive has tallied up a result that more than is expected: 47 percent of the 4000 users they surveyed said ad clicks occurred accidentally.
