HTC Merge

Gingerbread is all over the place lately, it seems. US Cellular has delivered the upgrade to owners of the oft-forgotten HTC Merge. Unfortunately it does appear you may need a Windows PC to apply this yourself as it requires HTC Sync, but be sure to call your local US Cellular location to see if they [...]

This thing’s heading to even more regional carriers. The HTC Merge – which has had a bumpy ride on its way to store shelves since we first heard of it – is finally headed to US Cellular on May 31st. It’s easy to liken this phone to The T-Mobile G2, except with HTC Sense on [...]

The HTC Merge has been one interesting phone. No, not because anything with the hardware or software is unique. But because it has been in the works for the longest and Verizon seemingly wants nothing to do with it. After countless leaks telling of its existence, HTC officially announced the thing but Verizon had no [...]

I first heard about the HTC Merge last fall when someone leaked some pics of the phone on Verizon’s network. Since then, you can find the Merge on just about every carrier these days. Alltell wireless is taking pre-orders and Cellular South plans to release it soon. Don’t even get me started on Verizon, who [...]

HTC promised that the Merge would be headed to “multiple carriers” this Spring, and according to this leak they seem to be telling the truth. US Cellular is said to be the latest carrier to gear up for its launch and it could be happening as early as April 29th. We’ve reached out for comment [...]

As is usual with devices set to launch on Verizon’s network, entries have appeared in their Device Manager for Big Red’s upcoming Android lineup. Nothing startling or all that new is revealed, but the Motorola DROID BIONIC, Samsung DROID Charge, HTC Droid Incredible 2, and Motorola DROID X2 all appear as well as the LG [...]

In some alternate universe the HTC Merge was release on Verizon last year. Every once in a while flashes of that universe appear in our own. For example, see the above screen capture of the Merge on Verizon’s site tucked away in a section about free text alerts. OK, so the alternate universe explanation is [...]

Alltel’s just issued a press release reminding everyone that their Android line-up isn’t too shabby. Highlights include the HTC Merge and the Motorola Milestone, but there are some other gems alongside those which include the Samsung Gem (yes, I tried to do that – shame on me) and the LG Axis. You should already know [...]

I totally did not mean to do that with the title. Anywho, PocketNow has gotten their paws on new official press shots of Verizon’s HTC Merge. It’s not as if we haven’t seen this phone a billion times before, but these seem like crisp and clear shots – earlier press shots weren’t as clear and [...]

We still aren’t sure if Verizon will ever see the HTC Merge, but the appearance of a VZ Navigator for Merge in the Android Market suggests the time may be nearing. The device has already been officially announced for Alltel and Cellular South, but once again seems lost to Verizon’s lineup of upcoming high-end Android [...]

We knew the HTC Merge was headed for multiple carriers in the US, but other than Alltel (and maybe Verizon at some point), it was unclear exactly where to expect the slide-out QWERTY handset. One more option has been revealed, as Cellular South has announced they will begin carrying the Merge sometime in April, though [...]

Though initial reports placed the phone as launching way back in November of 2010 on Verizon’s network, their subsidiary Alltel looks to be the first to snag the HTC Merge, with a pre-order for the device going live March 28th. The handset is priced at $124.99 after a mail-in rebate and signature on a two-year [...]

We’ve seen this thing hit the FCC before, but now they’ve updated the HTC Merge’s listing with a user manual for the device. There won’t be many surprises to be found here unless you thought this thing was going to launch with 4G radios. Many believed that to be the case after its initial reported [...]

We’ve been expecting Verizon to announce a follow-up to the HTC DROID Incredible for a long while. Most thought that the Thunderbolt would be considered the device’s sequel, but HTC ended up debuting one Incredible S at Mobile World Congress. While that particular device is only officially headed for Europe at the moment, Engadget has [...]

After months of being hidden by HTC and after a long-awaited announcement, someone is putting their HTC Merge up for sale on eBay before HTC even has a chance to release it. It’s the Verizon-branded version that we’ve seen strut its stuff in countless pictures and a few videos. The seller – xyellowfrizbee, who has [...]

We were just talking about how the HTC Thunderbolt is the new HTC Merge, and now they’ve finally officilally announced it after weeks and months of leaks, speculation, missed dates, rumors of cancellation, and more. What’s more is that we’re learning it’s a CDMA world phone, and that Verizon won’t be the only carrier to [...]

Look, guys, this has gone on long enough. We know it exists. We know you’re holding on to a gem of a phone. It could be a great device for a lot of people. Why are you holding out? How many open letters must I write to persuade you to just unveil this phone already? [...]

If you are like me and have been left scratching your head over the whereabouts of the HTC Merge once slated for Verizon, we may finally have an answer. Admittedly it wasn’t specced out to be the best VZW Android as of late, and while it’s keyboard looks awesome and the phone could surely hold [...]

We’ve seen the thing in retail store inventories, cellebrite systems, we’ve just gotten a look at the first snap-on cover, hell, Verizon’s even shown it on their own site and Android Central had a device of their own to look at. So where is this HTC Merge, Verizon? Why must you play this cruel game [...]

Well, it’s November 18th and still no official announcement of the HTC Merge for Verizon, but if this recently posted (then pulled) 360 degree view of the phone is any indication, we are likely to see this one launched very soon. The Droid Incredible event planned for tonight seems to be forging ahead without any [...]
