Images and specs of the LG “Cayenne” LS860 hit the internet just some days ago, but it seems Brief Mobile is not stopping there, and they have gotten their hands on more details, as well as an image. The Slideout QWERTY device seems to be much better than we expected. According to the source, the [...]

For some lucky HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-orders, their devices are being shipped with a bonus — an official HTC TPU case and an apology letter. The letter expresses Sprint’s sincere apologies for the launch delays (although, really, it was never their fault). The Sprint letter reads, “HTC and Sprint want to thank you for [...]

It seems there’s another path for those who are looking to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich on the HTC EVO 3D early. BriefMobile have leaked a new RUU file for the device. These tend to be a lot safer than IMG files, but keep in mind that this update is still possibly unfinished. Early word [...]

The HTC EVO 4G LTE officially shipped yesterday and many eager Sprint users have gotten their hands on it. The question after that almost always tends to be “when can I root it?” Sometimes you’ll wait days, and sometimes you’ll wait weeks, but the EVO 4G LTE received root treatment on day one. Revered developer [...]

If you currently have in your possession a Samsung Galaxy Note or Samsung Galaxy S2 that just so happens to be rooted, I would like to inform you that you can now add the all-new-and-improved TouchWiz UI from the Samsung Galaxy S3 onto those devices. The launcher reportedly runs great and is an excellent option [...]

Those boys at Brief Mobile got their hands on another exclusive leak, this time with images of the LG LS860 slider headed to Sprint. As you can see from the blurry pic, the LS860 (codenamed Cayenne) is packing a full 5-row QWERTY keyboard that should make any hard-kb lovers heart skip a beat. Other specs [...]

We’ve been receiving Phantips all morning that more than a few lucky Sprint customers have been receiving shipping confirmations for the HTC EVO 4G LTE, complete with UPS tracking numbers. The phones are set to arrive on porches and doorsteps May 24th. It was only a day ago that Sprint confirmed the 24th date, but [...]

First we saw T-Mobile and AT&T’s variants, then Verizon’s. Now Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy S III is putting a cap on the Bluetooth SIG’s look at the four major US carrier editions of the upcoming smartphone. The phone is listed with model number SPH-L710, one character off from the SPH-D710 designation of the Sprint Galaxy S [...]

Sprint is hoping new changes to their mobile hotspot pricing models will bring about new customers who might have otherwise been apprehensive to take the jump into their data-only tethering service. The old 5GB for $30 plan has officially been killed off, replaced instead with a lower entry-level 2GB plan for $20, and higher 6GB [...]

After a brief hold-up at US Customs, Sprint has officially announced that the HTC EVO 4G LTE will be on its way to customers and are scheduled to ship or arrive on May 24th. That’s not the Mat 23rd rumor that’s been going around, but one day never hurt anyone. If you don’t remember, some [...]

HTC has released a statement saying “some” of their smartphones held up at US customs have “passed the review” and are already in the hands of their telecom partners. Devices known to be waiting at customs due to concerns of patent infringement include the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE, but the company [...]

Earlier today, we reported that Best Buy was notifying pre-orders that the  HTC EVO 4G LTE would arrive on May 23rd, a few days later than the original May 18th launch date. This came after news that both the EVO and One X were being held up at Customs, and lead a few to believe [...]

BriefMobile got their hands on a new back shot of the LG Eclipse 4G LTE. The Sprint phone, rumored to have a 4.67 inch display, a 1.5GHz S4 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel camera with flash, 16GB of internal storage, and a 2,100 mAh battery, appears to be coming with NFC capabilities. That’s nothing [...]

Those who have preordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE through Best Buy have gotten an email stating that the device will now launch May 23rd. This is, of course, in response to the device being held up at US Customs for inspection of violation of an Apple patent that HTC has apparently already fixed. With [...]

Before the release of the HTC One X, S and V, HTC was making the rounds, touting Sense 4.0 as the lightest, leanest version of their Android skin ever. We were inclined to believe them after seeing how zippy and kicky fast Sense was, not only real world usability tests, but in benchmarks as well. [...]

Up until recently, the Google Play Store only supported carrier billing for applications and games. When Google added music, movies, and books to the Play Store they didn’t bring that functionality over. They finally announced its development last month, but no carriers were on board with carrier billing with those pieces of media. That changes [...]

Yesterday, news surfaced that HTC’s newest devices, the EVO 4G LTE and the HTC One X for AT&T, have hit a bit of a road bump on their way to the United States. US Customs and Border Protection delayed the shipment of the devices due to inspection to make sure they don’t infringe on Apple patent [...]

A memo leaking out of Sprint and into the hands of TechnoBuffalo has the carrier doing away with their early upgrade policy for existing customers. The move comes at a time when Sprint continues to hack away at customer-oriented policies. The carrier is citing “high costs” as the reason why customers will no longer be able [...]

Two of HTC’s heavy hitters — the HTC EVO 4G LTE and HTC One X — are facing shipping delays here in the states due to a U.S. Customs investigation. Apparently, both devices are being examined to ensure they aren’t in violation of an International Trade Commission exclusion order over Apple patent #5,946,647 (having to [...]

It turns out that a few people who purchased the HTC One X LTE faced issues with WiFi connectivity and speed. HTC moved quickly to post this statement: “In regards to the wifi issue your running into, this is currently an issue that has been brought to our attention and we are actively working on a [...]
