It’ll cost €589.90 without a contract. (There’s no word on if they’ll ever offer it on contract.) If you [...]

We’ve been waiting a long time to hear more about the HTC DoubleShot, a dual-core phone that was rumored back in early March for T-Mobile. All we knew of then was a name, but a user agent file for the device has surfaced and gives us a bit of an idea of what to expect. [...]

Our friends at LetsTalk.com and Wirefly.com have pinged us to let us know that the Samsung DROID Charge is available for pre-order and will ship in time for the device’s April 28th launch on Verizon.

Yes, Android does store location information, at least that’s what all of the headlines have been purporting the past week or so. We’ve watched this story originate and bubble up into a huge FUD-spreading session since early last week, but we didn’t feel the need to report it. Why, you ask? Because this stuff has [...]

Barnes & Noble has just issued a major upgrade to the NOOKcolor with version 1.2. It brings a lot of good stuff – such as the NOOK Apps store, NOOK Books and enhanced social networking features – but the highlight of the upgrade is the new version of Android – 2.2. It’s no Gingerbread, but [...]

It’s not like Sony Ericsson to allow leaks to go on for so long without as much as a quick mention of a device’s existence (with the Xperia Play being an obvious exception), but we still haven’t learned about what looks to be the successor to the Xperia Mini Pro. This time, it’s shown up [...]

Although Cyanogen Mod 7 reached stable status some time ago, it still made its way to the forefront with quite a few bugs. (Some very big, some very minor.) It’s a good thing that those folks never sleep, though, because they’ve already issued a .2 update that fixes a lot of these issues. You can [...]

G2 owners felt dissed after T-Mobile announced the G2x would be getting Gingerbread “soon”, and rightfully so – their device is stock Android and it was out long before the G2x. T-Mobile says they aren’t forgotten, though, as they’ve confirmed via Twitter that the G2 will indeed be getting Gingerbread. Go ahead and put that [...]

Although AT&T’s Motorola ATRIX 4G is perhaps the most powerful smartphone in the market today, it’s subject to heavy discounts from third-party outlets. One such outlet is Best Buy who seems to need to move some units – so much so that you can get it for just $30 on a new two-year contract.  To [...]

We’ve long been fans of Lenovo’s Android-based offerings, but couldn’t do more than gape at the few products they’ve brought out because they only launched them in limited regions (the United States not being one of them, of course). It seems that’s because they wanted to bring a more fresh product to store shelves. This [...]

What a nice round of news regarding the T-Mobile G2X this weekend. There’s a lot here so grab some popcorn and stick with me.

Everything’s all set for an April 28th launch for a few Verizon-branded devices, folks, as they’re now headed to stores.

Along [...]

April 28th is looking to be a big day for Android phones at Verizon, and while only one — the Samsung DROID Charge — has been formally announced signs still point towards the Droid Incredible 2 and Casio g’z0ne Cammonado landing on the same date. Take for example demo units of the both handsets arriving [...]

News that Apple was collecting location data behind user’s backs caused quite a stir, and as expected caused those in the industry to take a second look at what Google might be doing with tracking info collected from Android smartphones. Google won’t deny that they do collect user location data, but they were quick to [...]
