Sprint’s been having a lot of trouble lighting up new WiMax towers as of late – it’s been a REALLY, REALLY long time since we last saw another city get 4G. Part of it is due to Clearwire’s financial situation that’s all but frozen their efforts to expand their WiMax offering. If you thought Sprint [...]

The Motorola Atrix 4G is still a few days away from release, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get an up close and personal look at the software contents of the handset. The Atrix 4G’s system dump just came online last night giving us a look at what sort of goodies we can expect to [...]

When @LorenzKong asked @TMobile about whether or not they’d get the Samsung Galaxy S2, T-Mobile’s response seemed pretty cut and dry: And T-Mobile probably WILL get the Galaxy S2, afterall, one of the original Galaxy S highlights is that it was simultaneously announced on all four major American carriers. That being said, T-Mobile quickly deleted [...]

The Froyo rumors just keep on rolling, don’t they? BGR’s saying that the Samsung Epic 4G’s Android 2.2 upgrade is still on for the 21st. We’ve heard that one before, but that was build EA17 – EB13 is the latest and all signs point to it being final. They’re also saying the Sanyo Zio should [...]

Over on our forums we’d briefly seen had what appeared to be a Verizon purchase order that shows 18 units of the HTC Thunderbolt arriving on February 23rd with the Verizon rep for that store claiming they’ll start selling them on the 24th. The $569 price is apparently what Verizon pays for the device so [...]

Bad news, folks: the HTC Thunderbolt may not be coming out on February 24th as we once thought it would. Rumors from sources of Android Guys‘ say that it may be getting a 4-day delay – that’d make the new date February 28th. Doesn’t sound too bad, but considering how long most of you have [...]

Amazon comes through in the clutch again! This time, they’ve thrown the HTC Desire S – a followup to the original Desire  that adds a front-facing camera and a new chipset – onto their website. You can pre-order it with them now and have it in your hands on April 18th, according to them. We’d [...]

Since 2000, Vodafone and China Mobile have had a strategic alliance that allows them to leverage strengths and knowledge of the partnership to improve their own business. The areas of interest are actually pretty extensive, including: “exchange of corporate management, technical and operational expertise, enhanced roaming; multinational customers; green technology, network roadmap management, joint innovation [...]

We’ve just learned that PlayOn is now available for Android. PlayOn is an established service that allows users to stream TV shows to supported devices. I’ve used it to stream episodes of Spongebob to my Xbox 360, but now I can do the same on any Android device. Watch your favorite shows and movies on-demand [...]

The rumor that the Motorola Atrix 4G will launch on February 22nd is no longer that, as AT&T has confirmed that the device will indeed go on sale next week at the price of $199. Pre-sales, which began on the 13th, will be shipped on the 21st. But if you were savvy enough to have [...]

I’m not sure words will do this picture – made with Androidify – any justice. Instead of trying to explain something that needs to explanation, I’ll let you leave your epic lulz in the comments below. [Twitpic via LarvaLabs, Snambomb - Thanks Mike!]

I’ve been waiting for something like the Sony Ericsson Liveview for quite some time and am extremely excited that it will soon be out in the United States. It will work with any Android Phone, has an SDK so devs can build interesting apps that work with it, and its already got a bunch of [...]

Yes, folks are still trying to get stock Android running on the crop of Samsung Galaxy S phones currently on the market. The Samsung Vibrant showed the most promise, but that project has been lagging. And now the Samsung Fascinate is seeing unofficial CyanogenMod 7 love. It’s a port, and very unusable: most of the [...]

Sprint has just announced that they’ve been recognized as J.D. Power’s 2011 Customer Service Champion in what seems to be a week of accolades for carriers. (T-Mobile was awarded the highest ranking in retail customer saatisfaction – yet again – today.) It’s a great turn-around for a company who was notorious for bad customer service [...]

You can say whatever you want about T-Mobile’s selection of phones and the network they rely on, good or bad, but you have to be pretty impressed with the announcement that for the fourth straight time, T-Mobile ranked highest in J.D. Powers and Assoicates’ Wireless Retails Sales Satisfaction Study. They also had the distinct honor [...]

When I watched the below videos about a new Android App called Route 66, I immediately wondered what mapping software was used to create them. The second video looks almost identical to the new version of Google Maps and I figured it simply leveraged the Maps API, but as it turns out they’re powered by [...]

If you’re into this sort of stuff, listen up: the Motorola XOOM’s user guide has been snagged from the clutches of Motorola and posted online for all to see. It’s a 5.4 MB download, has 64 pages, and – you guessed it – is in .PDF format. It won’t tell you much more than you [...]

Like the Motorola XOOM and Motorola Pro announced earlier this week, another high-end device from Moto will be landing on European shores later this year. The Motorola Atrix 4G was heavily displayed at Mobile World Congress in Bacelona, an event that skewed towards devices landing in all places but the United States (though many devices [...]

Amazon Wireless is offering the HTC Inspire 4G for just $59.99 for new customers and $69.99 for existing ones. It’s a high-end device that could easily justify its $200 price tag, but Amazon seems to love these deals, and I’m sure you folks do as well. (Otherwise they wouldn’t keep posting them.) Head on over [...]

There are a lot of technologies we’ve seen as buzz words that have yet to reach the surface in terms of practicality. Augmented reality, face recogntion, social networking… combine the three and you’ve got Viewdle, a company building apps that leverage these technologies to do new and interesting things. We could talk for hours just [...]
