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 ...

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: T-Mobile US training employees on HTC Desire?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

It's really confusing me now. First we heard that the HTC Desire will hit AT&T in May/June period, and now, according to Androincia, a manager at a T-Mobile USA store was being trained on several phones that are coming to the carrier this year, and the HTC Desire is on the list. They also said that they contact other T-Mobile employees and they said that their manager's are off for training. Does this mean the HTC Desire will hit T-Mobile soon? It's a rumor but i can see the truth in it. The Desire is almost similar to the Nexus One but ...

The Unboxing of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I guess there is always a first for everything. Have you ever seen a manufacturer do it's own unboxing video? Sony Ericsson decided to be the first. We were not lucky enough to be able do the unboxing of the one of the most anticipated Android smartphone, the one and only, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Sony Ericsson didn't give anyone a chance to do the unboxing. Instead they decided to do it themselves. Sony Ericsson doesn’t include much information. What's inside the box. Let me tell you: XPERIA X10 phone (white or black) USB cable & charger Stereo headset Battery Documentation That's all we know folks. But still ...

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 ...

Motorola Backflip on sale now

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

AT&T has launched the Motorola Backflip, it's first Android device, which is running Motorola Blur on top of Android 1.5. You can get the device, which has Google stripped out, a dated OS, and a weird form factor. As you can tell this really excites me. It's available via the AT&T product page where there is only one mention that the phone is running Android, which is at the bottom of the page. This being there first Android phone I would have expected them to be pushing Android a lot stronger and have more details about Android, however if I was launching ...

Vodafone UK discontinues HTC Magic

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

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

Hands on with the tasty Motorola Devour

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

The guys over at AndroidCentral got their hands on the new Android from Motorola and here's their initial thoughts: The Motorola Devour (running Android 1.6 with Motoblur on Verizon) made its here this morning, and we've had a couple minutes to give it the what-for. Despite playing second fiddle to the Motorola Droid at least as far as specs are concerned -- smaller screen, less powerful processor, etc. -- it's a very well-crafted smartphone. The Devour has a Sidekick-esqe form factor. Instead of the keyboard sliding out, the screen slides up to expose four rows on which to type. Having letters on either ...

5 Star Review: NexusMod Live Wallpaper by Chris Soyars

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

This new live wallpaper by Chris Soyars is available in the Android Market now. It is a modified version of the stock Nexus One live wallpaper.
