Welp, Verizon’s made it official – the DROID RAZR will be going up for presale tomorrow, Oct. 27th, for $300 after signing a new two-year agreement. And just as the rumors suggested, Verizon says it’s shipping no later than November 10th which gives them room to ship to preorderers a bit before then (we wouldn’t [...]

Those of you wondering whether or not the original Nexus phone would be getting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich can rest not-so-easy with the answer Google’s Hugo Barra reportedly given The Telegraph. The Nexus One is apparently too old to receive the upgrade. We’d imagine the CPU and GPU alongside limited internal memory are Google’s [...]

Sprint has finally posted their Q3 2011 financial results. The Now Network gained $8.3 billion in overall revenue, a marginal improvement over the same quarter last year.

The good people at WinAmp have reportedly issued a significant upgrade to their Android application to add a lot of the features that kept many from making it their default music playing application. Common to all users is the ability to wirelessly sync your music library between Android and Mac OS, a feature only previously [...]

While we’ve stopped highlighting each and every free paid app of the day from Amazon, we felt this one was big enough to warrant attention. They’re offering OfficeSuite Pro 5 for Android. While there may be better options in the Android market, when you consider the fact that this is a $15 value it can’t [...]

So I just woke up to news that Nokia announced several new phones, two of which run Windows Phone 7. I won’t get into the specifics of the hardware and the announcement – I’ll just link to Engadget here and here for their Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 hands-on videos, respectively. But I’m curious… do these [...]

Greetings, Phandroids! So many stories pass our way that it would be nearly impossible to write them all up. But for those that almost slipped through the cracks, we gathered them here for you, in the Android Overload. We felt these stories deserved a final once-over, before getting lost in the internet abyss, so have [...]

Just in time for the big console releases of Battlefield 3 and CODMW3, Gameloft is looking to bring some of that FPS action to Android with their new trailer for the upcoming title Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation. Obviously the game’s claim to fame is in its console quality graphics — so good in fact, [...]

It was only earlier today we told you guys about the Samsung Nexus S receiving an Android 4.0 SDK port and now it looks like it’s the HTC Thunderbolt’s turn to have a little taste of Ice Cream Sandwich. Jdkoreclipse was able to get the pre-alpha ROM booting but unfortunately, not much else is working [...]

The original Samsung Exhibit 4G is barely a few months old but T-Mobile is getting ready for the upcoming holiday season with the announcement of the all new Samsung Exhibit II 4G for their network.

If you’re a Sprint customer, you may have found yourself recently looking for new reasons to stick with the carrier after their “Season of Change” removed a lot of customer perks.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has appeared on Amazon today with an “in stock” date of November 7th. The device is being offered for £540 which translates to roughly $864.97 US dollars (although my cart said $930) SIM free and unlocked, which means if you’ve been saving up your pennies, you can expect AT&T and T-Mobile [...]

Can’t say I’m too familiar with the developers over at Robot Invader but they sure delivered one helluva doozie in the Android Market with Wind-up Knight. I’ve always been a sucker for unique visual art style and great character design. Wind-up Knight hits all those marks and more. The game is a 3D side-scrolling, run-and-gun [...]

Last year Andrew Bell, the designer of those cute little Android collectibles, gave us a Halloween themed vampire collectible and although it doesn’t look like history will be repeating itself this year — it’s not all bad news. Turns out Mr. Bell may have something special planned for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the [...]

Well, this could open up a whole new can of worms for Android and her manufacturers. Today, Apple successfully secured patent number 7657849, otherwise known as their famous “Slide to Unlock” feature found on iOS devices.

There has been some confusion over a very simple question regarding Android 4.0: Will the hardware Android buttons of current phones still function after updating to Ice Cream Sandwich? Provided your phone receives the update, the answer is yes. ICS is built to forego onscreen software buttons in favor of hardware buttons provided they are [...]

Before you get too excited, the Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for the Nexus S currently floating around over at XDA is far from a complete build. Nevertheless, some intrepid developers have managed to tack together a working build of Android 4.0 for last year’s Google flagship phone. Without a proper source code release to work [...]

We reported earlier on a couple of updates headed to HTC devices on Sprint’s network, but as it turns out all handsets from the Taiwanese manufacturer are inline for an over-the-air patch. The new software tweak addresses privacy concerns raised when a security hole was uncovered earlier this month. HTC promised a quick fix, and [...]

Orange’s San Francisco (otherwise known as the ZTE Blade) will soon get a sequel. After sales surpassing 2 million units, the the Blade/San Francisco will give way to the ZTE Crescent .
