Privacy concerns have been a hot topic as of late. Whether it’s Google, Apple or Verizon, consumers and our government is cracking down on what kind of information our smartphones are sharing without our consent.

Looks like “Change is the name of the game” for Sprint moving forward and with that comes a handful of policy changes and fee increases.

  In one of the most leaked handsets in recent memory, the Motorola Droid Bionic’s Sept 8th launch date shows up once again, this time in an internal Verizon Equipment Guide. The equipment guide also lists a number of specs and reports from Verizon employees are saying a bevy of accessories have already begun to [...]

Toshiba hasn’t quite taken the lid off their brand new Honeycomb tablet later this week at IFA, but the folks over at Notebook Italia went snooping around and were able to grab some shots of what could be known as the Toshiba Excite. Along with the images comes confirmation of microSD, microUSB, and mini HDMI ports. [...]

It takes a ballsy phone tester to decide a prototype handset’s 4.5-inch qHD display is just a bit too big for them and put the prerelease device up for auction on eBay, but that’s exactly what one HTC Holiday guinea pig did. Aside from the large screen, the listing confirms the 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 8MP [...]

With HTC’s recent acquisition of Beats by Dre, it makes sense that the company would want to make a statement by getting a handset featuring the audio technology to market quickly. Most expect the HTC Vigor on Verizon to be the first handset sporting improved audio, but a new report claims that a refreshed version [...]

Engadget has confirmed that the handset will launch with NFC support. Both kernel drivers and an APK for NFC support were located, and the handset was found to run in NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) mode.

Via their Facebook page, HTC has announced that we can expect the Android 2.3 update for the Droid Incredible and Thunderbolt on Verizon to begin rolling out in September.

A bug fixer update has been made available for Google Voice, bringing along improved notifications, warnings for attempts to send text messages without a data connection, and cleaned up voicemail playback controls. Gone is the annoying bug that required the ‘play’ button to be pressed twice just to hear a voicemail. All-in-all a rather solid [...]

It features a 3.5-inch HVGA display, 5MP camera, and an 800MHz CPU. This isn’t the first we have heard of the handset, and the Bluetooth SIG suggests [...]

AT&T’s back seems to be up against the ropes here. They’ve responded to news earlier today that the Department of Justice would seek to block the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile, citing anti-trust and anti-competition concerns as reasons why AT&T should not be allowed to gobble up T-Mobile. “We are surprised and disappointed by [...]

With Sony being so secretive regarding their forthcoming Android tablets lately, we expected them to finally show us everything we’ve been waiting to see at IFA. Welp, they’ve done just that. Let’s take a look at what we’re getting here. Let’s start with the Tablet S, Sony’s 9.4 inch (IPS with Sony TruBlack and Bravia [...]

This is perhaps the biggest move in this case yet. The United States government (Department of Justice, to be exact) has reportedly filed to block AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile for $39 billion, citing anti-trust laws being violated as AT&T would be taking substantial competition off the market. "AT&T’s elimination of T-Mobile as an independent, low- [...]

It’s that time again, folks – a new flagship Verizon phone is coming out and the DroidLanding twitter account has taken notice. Its first tweet since May? Linking to this new DROIDDoes landing page which shows input boxes for four sites asking for access codes. Unfortunately we’re not exactly sure what one of these codes [...]

Looks like accessory vendors have already gotten word about HTC’s newest, biggest (maybe not), baddest smartphone coming – the HTC Holiday. A black silicon case for the phone has appeared on eBay well ahead of any official announcement. If for some reason you expect to get this phone when it comes out (before even knowing [...]

The folks at Metago have announced that they have reached 15 million downloads in the Android market. Being one of the oldest (and one of the best) file managers on Android, we can’t exactly say we didn’t expect to hear this bit of news sooner or later. We’re not sure if Metago includes devices that [...]
