We told you the update was coming and we’ve been receiving a flood of reports from Evo Shift users everywhere that, thanks to a combination effort between HTC and Sprint, they can now update their phones to Android 2.3.3.

The boys over at Brief Mobile got their hands on an early build of the Gingerbread OTA for the Motorola Atrix and it looks like we’re a few steps closer to that rumored July OTA. AT&T and Motorola have been testing a new build for the Android 2.3.3 update (4.5.47) on the Atrix and word [...]

We’ve been hearing a summer release for the Amazon’s newest foray into the Honeycomb tablet scene for awhile now and it looks like we might have a little weight to add to those rumors. According to some Taiwanese component makers who are supplying Amazon with the parts needed to make their new tablets, we can [...]

Google has just added 2 new phones to their Phone Gallery in which they showcase some of the best (and worst) Android has to offer. Normally, I try to avoid posts on Android powered phones from non-English speaking countries like Korea but these 2 Pantech devices look so nice, I had to think twice. The [...]

Its 1992. Boyz II Men were at the top of their game, Ross Perot just announced his candidacy for President of the US, Home Alone 2 dominated the box office and I was getting over my break-up with Kathryn Johnson by playing X-Men at my local arcade.   I was super jazzed when the classic [...]

Welcome to the future, guys. Where mobile devices are beginning to blur the lines between smartphones and little mini computers. According to this new report from cloud networking provider Meraki, there are more mobile devices connected to WiFi networks than there are computers. This doesn’t really surprise me, seeing how it seems like just about [...]

US Cellular announced on their Twitter today that they are going to be selling the Motorola Xoom in some of their retail locations across the US. You’re going to have to call and check for availability if you’re looking to pick one up at your local store. Oh, and if you were hoping for some [...]

Run out of cool applications to check out? Don’t fret – we’ve got you covered with another handful of apps and games we think are worth your time. First of all, activating ANYTHING using your voice is cool, so when you can tell your alarm to “shut the $%@* up” and it actually listens, it [...]

Motorola and Virgin have kept a bit quiet on when we’d see their latest phone, the Triumph. It’s a decent looking phone that, wait for it, doesn’t have BLUR. Or whatever the hell it is Motorola’s calling it these days. We just might have a date, though, as some modest soul has uploaded a photo [...]

It’s started, folks – one of the hottest tablets of the summer is out and it’s in the hands of many-a developer. It’s already been rooted and all that hooplah, and now comes the fun stuff – custom kernels. Samsung’s released the kernel source allowing developers to get their hands on it and do who [...]

Yesterday, rumors started flying of a July 7th date in regards to Verizon shutting off unlimited data in favor of a tiered pricing structure. We even got preliminary details on pricing but none of it was confirmed. One thing that we can confirm is that all of this will definitely be going down this July, [...]

Just got this formal statement in the inbox, folks. T-Mobile have responded to the opposition who do not want to see the transaction go through, stating they have “failed to offer any credible arguments to support their view that the [FCC] should deny the transaction.” Furthermore, they believe it is inaccurate to say that there [...]

Huawei’s back it again with the phones, but this time they’ve come to the table with some intriguing options. For Turkey, they’re introducing an NFC-enabled budget phone, the Huawei Sonic. It’s an interesting move by Huawei considering there’s usually very little innovation to be had when speaking of their products. In this instance, they’re beating [...]

It’s officially summer time. Picnickers will be picnicking, sun tanners will be sun tanning, and sand will be haunting the shoes and sandals of many. Things are getting a bit heated in the Angry Birds world, too. The pigs think they’ll be enjoying a nice picnic under the sun with some eggs, only to find [...]

Yep, that’s rich. I mean, it’s totally plausible for someone to own a phone and not have any friends. And if you fit into that category, Samsung’s got you covered here. Now, excuse me while I go test this feature for myself for, erm, “review purposes”. [Reddit]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo was set to come out in Q2 2011 alongside its keyboard-lauding cousin Xperia Pro, but extenuating circumstances caused by a series of earthquakes in Japan caused them to delay production and distribution of the handset.
