We officially know that Sprint is planning to update both the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment with Android 2.1 “sometime in the first half of 2010.” Well, aside from that time period getting slightly shorter than the last time we heard the news, we now have another little bit coming in the form of a [...]

The introduction of the updated myTouch 3G has seemingly taken care of a few things, first, it has most likely made many current myTouch owners a little jelous over the extra RAM and 3.5mm headphone jack. But second and perhaps a little more important is that it has driven the price of the original myTouch [...]

I just received the full specs for the new Garmin-ASUS A50.
For starters, the phone supports quad-band GSM/EDGE and will be available to carriers with some grouping of the following UMTS 3G bands: 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz. That would mean it could support 3G on EU networks, T-Mobile USA’s AWS 3G network, or AT&T’s 3G network – depending on [...]

T-Mobile has just officially launched a new versions of the myTouch 3G with new hardware and software.  For clarity’s sake, let’s just call it the myTouch 3G 2010 since T-Mobile has decided to muddy the naming waters by using the exact same name – just as it does with its Sidekick line.
So, the myTouch 3G [...]

It looks like the HTC Legend does not want to remain a secret any longer. Just recently we have seen not one, but three clear images leaked. The first two came a few days back and showed off both the front and back. The latest came just a short while ago and gives us another [...]

Assuming this latest rumor turns out to be true, that $9.99 price that we mentioned yesterday may not seem so bad after all.
That rumor?
Well it looks like the Motorola CLIQ may be getting an update to 2.1 in March.
Unfortunately, at the time there is not much to support this. What we have [...]

Early-termination fees are standard practice in the mobile phone contract world, but the Nexus One’s “equipment recovery fee” was a new and arguably exorbiant fee. Google required that anyone buying a subsidized Nexus One pay $350 if the contract was canceled within the first 120 days, and that was on top of the $200 fee [...]

The Nexus One just got a high-profile nerd endorsement, as Linux creator Linus Torvald called the device a “winner” in his blog.
“I no longer feel like I’m dragging a phone with me ‘just in case,’ I would need to get in touch with somebody – now I’m having a useful (and admittedly pretty good-looking) gadget [...]

The Motorola CLIQ has certainly taken more than its fair share of criticism from the Android fan community, but I have to believe that at least a few people like it. Of course, maybe for the low-discount-price of $9.99 a few people would learn to like it.
Anyway, if you are looking for an Android [...]

Over at phoneArena.com, there is a rumor spreading that the Motorola DEVOUR will be available through Verizon as soon as the 25 February. The device itself was officially launched by Verizon last week but it was not entirely clear when the device would start shipping. Initially the device was thought to become available in March, [...]

A new rendering as well as some odd form factor details have emerged regarding Motorola’s MOTOSPLIT.  The anonymous tipster goes into detail about a Q3 release on AT&T’s network, identical specs to the BACKFLIP (which seems like a step backward for a phone releasing Q3) and how the actual side splitting keyboard is going to [...]

Earlier reports of the Motorola Zeppelin surfacing are starting to look more and more confirmed as an internal PowerPoint slide by T-Mobile has been leaked that may justify a few of the details we have already touched on.  The slide was leaked on a PPCGeeks forum via MobileTechWorld and specifies a March 10 release date [...]
