Tired of Apple's tight reign on your iPhone? Want the true feeling of open source? AT&T users rejoice! Today, Google releases the sale of the Nexus One compatible with 3G UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). This means full 3G for AT&T customers. This also means that our friends to the north, Rogers Canada, will get the same love from Google since Rogers uses the same 3G bands as AT&T. This news, combined with the recent news of paid apps in the Market, makes for a very special day Canada. It's about time, eh? No word so far ...
I've been pondering this news throughout the day wondering if someone is just playing us for a fool, or someone who really has some inside knowledge sent us some real exclusive news. People have speculated about a possible Nexus with a keyboard for business, but all it has ever been is speculation and nothing more. We received this one line anonymous email today saying: "nexus 2 releases in june. main carrier will be verizon wireless" That's all it said. Who knows if it's something to get excited about or not. Who knows if the Nexus 2 is even in development. I decided to share this ...
The guys over at Phandroid found some very interesting news about the release of the new Motorola CLIQ XT. The rumor, and T-Mobile internal screen capture shown below, states that the CLIQ XT will be available from T-Mobile starting March 17th for $99. They also state that the CLIQ XT will immediately be available as part of a Buy one, Get One Free campaign. Not a bad deal if you looking for a new devices. Anyone heard anything else about this rumor? Source: Phandroid
We received an email today informing us that the new HTC Legend is now available in France with the french operator SFR. The cool thing is it been released in an exclusive and pretty smart looking, Red color. The HTC Legend is availabe for 79€ (Euros) with as part of a package deal or 399€ for the phone on it's own. SFR also have an introduction video for the HTC Legend, in french of course, but you can view it on this page. I really like the look of this new phone and hope to see in the US soon. What's your thoughts?
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 ...
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. [Source AndroidCentral, Motorola]
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
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

While the selection in the UK is already slim pickings for you Android lovers, it now appears that Vodafone UK had discontinued the HTC Magic due stock level issues. The other bad news news is that they don't see a sequel like the MyTouch 1.2 that has been launched here in the USA. At least there is some good news on the horizon with the soon to be released Nexus One and the X10. But not a great move on Vodafone's part while everyone is kept in limbo. Source: AndroidCommunity
Oh Hello beautiful! Guys remember the HTC Incredible. The first shot of the smartphone was leaked a month ago. Then after a time, we saw the Incredible crawling in Verizon inventory. Then the video shows up in which the Incredible was running on Verizon. Now the Incredible shows up again, not the Incredible Hulk, the HTC Incredible. These are the latest shots of the smartphone appearing on Twitter. I really like the smartphone, its beautiful, sexy and stylish. I still believe that the Incredible will hit Verizon soon. Stay tuned to AndroidSPIN for more information. Here's 3 more photos for you to ...
