Nexus One confirmed to be sold online only, confirmed for Verizon?

Saturday, March 13th, 2010
Nexus One on Verizon

I think this is the HOT! news of the day. We heard a lot about the HTC/Google Nexus One for Verizon Wireless. Things are getting clearer day by day. From the first day, when the Nexus One was launched in US via T-Mobile, Google also announced that they will bring the Nexus One to Verizon. In the last week of February the FCC approved a CDMA version of Nexus One  that would be supported by Verizon Wireless.  We also heard that Verizon will introduce the Nexus One during the International CTIA wireless show on March 23. A few days ago, ...

Telus Motorola Milestone gets root access

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Rooting the Motorola Milestone has been a somewhat impossible task given Motorola locking down the bootloader. I say somewhat because some folks at AllDroid have managed to gain root access on the TELUS Milestone, albeit without kernel access. A good start is better than nothing and there are some directions on how to root the TELUS Motorola Milestone over at AllDroid. I find the poll at the top quite humorous: “Did this thread help any” with the choices all answering questions with questions… one of them “Did you brick your phone”? Feel free to try this out yourself, but if you have ...

Want the Backflip source code? You got it!

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Just what we've all been dying to get our hands on, and hot off the presses and still having a week to cool off.  Alright, so the Motorola Backflip isn't the most popular device out there, but a code tweak is a code tweak.  Just think off all those poor crippled Backflips out there calling for freedom!  Take note though, this is hardware code only, no MotoBlur code included.

HTC Touch Pro2 Windows Mobile Device running Android 2.1 and captured on video

Friday, March 12th, 2010

We've previously seen the Android OS partially running on 4 WinMo powered HTC handsets.  There are various issues still to be resolved, like Bluetooth is not working correctly and the camera not working.  Well, there is now a video of the HTC Touch Pro2 running Android OS published by the guys over at PocketNow. Most of the major functions of the device are already working like calls, data, SMS, the Android Market and more. Currently,  the Touch Pro2 is only available on Sprint. If you want to know more, then watch the video: Source: Pocket now

HTC Tattoo getting Android 2.1 soon !

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The one and only Android device on Vodafone, the HTC Tattoo is confirmed to be getting Android 2.1 by HTC.  The HTC Tattoo is a low-end Android handset and very simple in design but it does come with Sense UI.  I hope this time it's true and the update will be available soon. Maybe in a month or so. “Kindly note that now we understand that a phone running Android OS 2.1 is available that you are excited to get an update for your Tattoo. We are still working hard to Sense for building this new version but we ...

LG’s first Android Handset for Korean Market !

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

LG is set to release their first Android handset in South Korea. It will be known as LG Andro-1 or KH5200. It's looking as though South Korea may be the next big mobile market. With more than three quarters of the country's population being mobile phone users, look for more cellphone manufacturers to set up shop in South Korea. Last week in South Korea, Motorola launched the MotoROI and last year, Apple launched the iPhone. Samsung is set to release a handset with Android 2.1 in a couple weeks. It appears as though LG wants their piece but they have some stiff ...

Nexus One Radio Ruined by Applications ?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Is your radio broken? The HTC/Google Nexus One is an awesome phone, but it sounds like everyone is still having major radio issues.  I know I frequently have issue's when I'm driving through a certain spot on my way home from work.  I'll frequently drop calls and when I look at my phone,  there will be NO data connection what-so-ever. What is the problem and why is it taking so long for the team of HTC, Google and T-Mobile to work out a solution?  At least they are all admitting that there is a problem and they are working on a solution. We've ...

Inventor of the Cell Phone Joins the Android Community.

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

It has been confirmed by CSPAN that Martin Cooper, the inventor of the cell phone, is an official member of the Android Community. You can follow Martin on Twitter, his twitter ID is @MartyMobile. Martin gave his iPhone to his grandson in favor of a Motorola Droid. Good move Martin! What better of an endorsement to the Android Community than the inventor of the cell phone picking up an Android phone. I wonder if Martin's phone is rooted? Could he be running the latest 2.1 custom ROM all theme'd out? The big question now is, will Martin dump his Motorola Droid when the Nexus ...

Well this ad boasts that the Dell Mini will be released in various colors, along with consumer choices for a personal color scheme or design.

One Month of Nexus Thoughts from an Ex-Nokia Users Perspective

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Stefan Constantinescu over at IntoMobile has been using his Nexus for the last month and has written a real nice, informative summary of his experience with the new device.  One thing I definitely agree with is the missing hardware buttons... I miss them.  He has a lot more to say in his review though. I’ve been using the Google Nexus One exclusively since February 10th, and after one month of getting to know most, if not all, of the capabilities of my shiny new toy, I figure it’s time to share some thoughts about the device itself, and ...

Rumor: Verizon training employees on Nexus One?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

We know the Nexus One is coming to Verizon Wireless but the question is when? A couple weeks ago, we heard rumors and saw evidence that seemed to support the FCC approving a CDMA version of Nexus One that would be supported by VZW. And last week, Neowin reported that Verizon will launch the Nexus One during the International CTIA wireless show in the US on March 23rd. A few days ago,  BGR reported they received some rumor-filled emails from various customers and some rather knowledgeable reps. The emails state that Verizon has begun training some of its employees on an EV-DO ...

An Android counterpoint

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Android has a problem with women, a topic that has been talked about at great length.  In a nutshell; the phones are fine, it's marketing that's the problem. Angel Webster over at Android Guys offers a differing opinion, stating the devices need to be changed to attract more female buyers: I feel like I am using a man's phone.  Call me picky, but I don't like that it only comes in "Winter White" and "Titanium".   The phone is somewhat bulky and rather heavy.  As thick as this phone is, I would expect more raised buttons or something easier for me ...
