lester — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:00:52 +0000

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was announced a LONG time ago but still hasn’t been released. At Mobile World Congress the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro were also announced, so now we’ve got THREE unreleased Xperia phones. Not for long, because BGR is saying that the X10 is 100% heading to AT&T in the April to May timeframe.

loputreyu — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:00:52 +0000

Yesterday when the T-Mobile Pulse Mini got announced and demoed , we were excited that a budget android phone would come stocked with Android 2.1. What we DIDN’T know was the price, but ElectricPig is saying the phone will cost £100 on the Pay-As-You-Go plan – a pretty sweet deal! But they also so they company had to cut some corners to get the costs/price down and one of those corners was GPS. How can an Android Phone not have GPS?

Samsung Galaxy Brought Down To Earth, Stuck With Android 1.5?

Alright Samsung Galaxy owners, be prepared to find the closest corner and begin weeping uncontrollably. Although the likes of the Samsung Moment, Sprint HTC Hero , Droid Eris and HTC Hero are all getting confirmed updates to Android 2.1, rumor has it that not only will the Samsung Galaxy NOT get a 2.1 upgrade… but they’ll be stuck on Android 1.5 for the remainder of the phone’s life cycle. This isn’t official at ALL – initial rumors said the phone WOULD get a 2.1 upgrade but TheUnwired is reporting that out at Mobile World Congress, their sources are saying the phone will never get an upgrade.

Sprint Hero & Moment Getting Android 2.1 “Early 2Q10?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:00:30 +0000

We just told you that the Droid Eris and HTC Hero were getting the Android 2.1 update and now we’re getting confirmation, additions and a timeline from Sprint. The carrier will be upgrading both their Sprint HTC Hero and Samsung Moment to Android 2.1 and this will be happening in early second quarter – likely meaning April or May. It doesn’t seem like either device will get the FULL Android 2.1, though.

Dell Mini 5 Is Really Huge Phone For AT&T, T-Mobile

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:00:29 +0000

When we saw the video of Dell CEO (Michael Dell) demonstrating the Dell Mini 5 to Michael Arrington, it just looked like a pretty awesome Android Tablet. But that’s not all it is – the device also makes calls and will likely be available on contract from AT&T and T-Mobile! The Mini 5 is rumored to have a 5-inch screen, 800×480 resolution, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5MP camera with flash, front facing camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and a 1530mAh battery. It will also likely have a 30-pin connector so it can be docked, also enabling HDMI Video Out. At an estimated price tag of $1,000 I’m not sure how many people will actually bite on this – unless AT&T/TMO offer a substantial subsidy.

The Alcatel OT-9880 isn’t the flashiest Android Phone with the most killer specs but it DEFINITELY stands out and if you ask us, it’s because of the undeniable resemblance to the Palm Pre.

HTC Bravo Renamed Desire, Modified Nexus One?

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 08:57:19 +0000

If the kids at Modaco are right, the rumored HTC Bravo will launch on Verizon Wireless as the HTC Desire, pleasing a LOT of people but confusing many in the process. The HTC Desire was also the rumored “codename” for what eventually became the HTC Droid Eris. Any way you look at it, the *new* HTC Desire (artist formerly known as Bravo) is essentially another carrier’s version of the Nexus One. All this is rumor of course, but according to the pictures and information here, it’ll also come with HTC Sense
