It sure is shaping up to be an exciting holiday season, especially for Android. While we wait for the Cliq, you can feast your eyes on the Samsung Galaxy Lite (in a new color scheme and everything). This Samsung Android phone is looking pretty good and I’m digging the accents. The listed specs are as follows: 3.0? WQVGA TFT Touchscreen 3.2 megapixel camera Android OS 1.5 Google Apps and Android Market Bluetooth 2.0, USB … [read full article]
There are some truly lucky people on this industry, and the people over at PhoneScoop fall into that category. Ignoring all this Android hubbub, they sought out the best of the best in mobile communication devices. I’m talking, of course, about the Nokia N900 phone, mobile computer, all in one and almighty gadget. Highlights of the device include an amazing ability to multitask, a Mozilla browser with full flash (the real deal, … [read full article]
Noah, from Phonedog, was lucky enough to get some hands on time the HTC Tattoo. Don’t be afraid though, John (their Android expert) is narrating, so your ears aren’t deceiving you. The video is quick, but it shows that it is quite snappy and responsive, even with the resistive touchscreen and the problems that the Sense UI has caused other phones. This video also shows the Tattoo being stripped down, so it can be … [read full article]
Well here is some good news for those wishing to switch to the G1, or just Android. T-Mobile has decided to lower the price of the first Android phone to $129.99 on contract. Saying that that this is the same price as the Samsung Comeback, and twenty dollars cheaper than the Samsung Highlight, I would definitely recommend going Android. It seems like they are trying to clear the shelves for something (Cliq maybe? Wait, is … [read full article]
While we wait for the pre-order date and availability date, how about some impressions from lucky people (or just rewatch all those videos). This specific review, however, is actually for the DEXT, but they are essentially the same phone (is anyone complaining?). Katherine, over at T3, was lucky enough to get some time with the Cliq sibling and she seems rather impressed by it, even calling it a “new dawn” for … [read full article]
Here is a friendly reminder about T-Mobile’s next media centered phone. The Nokia 5130, which we told you about last month, is destined for shelves tomorrow and will replace the Nokia 5310 (that still seems backwards to me). It is a pretty simple, affordable, music playing phone with a 2 megapixel camera, external music controls, a 3.5 mm headphone jack (YAY!) and it will have a couple of color options. Full specs and a picture after … [read full article]
Obvious Simpson’s reference aside, here is some news for those current (or upcoming) Android users. Google has released the SDK for Android 1.6 or Donut (which really gives the power to developers to fine tune the update). However, what interests the consumer is that Donut will officially be served to the masses “as early as October” (HEY! that is in like two weeks!). This Donut will be stuffed with a tasty cream filling … [read full article]
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past week, you probably know all about the Motorola Cliq (and all of the speculation and confusion surrounding it). Well, while some seem certain that the next Android phone will be hitting T-Mobile stores early next month, we will be standing by our previous October 19th pre-order date. Why? Well, because we have our second form of visual proof. It comes in the … [read full article]
Looking for some talk radio discussing all things Android, Cliq and everything else? Look no further. Our very own David (you know him, right?) is appearing as a guest on Android Guys Podcast tonight (September 14th, 2009) to discuss Android, and more specifically the Cliq. Listen in and maybe you will hear some delightful news (I can’t promise this, but it is sure possible). Head on over and give them a listen, it should … [read full article]
Motorola Cliq or Huawei Luna not your style, then maybe some HTC Tattoo fits your needs. While we have known that the Tattoo has android, we can now see that it will also run the Sense UI, which ultimately means it will not be a “With Google” phone. It seems odd to me that HTC would run the sense UI on a 2.8 inch resistive touch screen, but I’m not entirely complaining. Head … [read full article]
