HTC Desire C puts Android 4.0 on a 320 x 480 display
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCDesire C
HTC has unveiled the Desire C, an entry-level Android 4.0 smartphone set for a UK release early next month. Sitting just below the well-received One V in HTCs 2012 range, the Desire C features a 3.5-inch QVGA (that's 320 x 480 pixels) display, a 5-megapixel camera, and Beats Audio. There's no word on processor or storage yet, but there'll be 25GB of Dropbox usage included with the device. HTC says it'll come with Sense 4.0, but it's more likely to be the toned down version you'll find on the One V than that of the flagship One S and One X devices.

Voyager Mobile aborts its launch due to a 'malicious network attack'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Just yesterday, we reported that Voyager Mobile intended to throw the switch on to its service starting today, May 15th. However, something has gone terribly wrong between yesterday and this morning that prevented them from moving forward in making that leap to stardom.
Actually, taking a quick stop at Voyager Mobile’s web site, the newcomer in the wireless landscape has abruptly postponed its launch due to a “malicious network attack to its primary website.” Furthermore, it seems as though they’ve opted to delay the launch to a “time and date in the very near future.” So far, there is no word regarding the exact details of the attack, or if a specific party is to blame for it all.

T-Mobile gives HTC Sensation 4G users an Ice Cream Sandwich treat on May 16, Amaze 4G within weeks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleSensation 4GAndroid 4.0
T-Mobile subscribers waiting on pins and needles for the day their HTC Sensation 4G or Amaze 4G will get its Android 4.0 update don't have to sit so uncomfortably for much longer: the carrier has just narrowed down the timetables considerably. The first wave of owners will get its Ice Cream Sandwich just desserts on May 16th, when Sensation 4G owners can push Android 4.0.3 to their dual-core 2011 flagships. Amaze 4G users have a looser timeframe of the "coming weeks" to dig in. Either circumstance will see HTC slap on Sense 3.6 like it has with other pre-2012 device updates, so don't expect a full One S-like Sense 4.0 experience. Do, however, expect to pay an extra $15 per month for hotspot ...

Online store Svyaznoy.ru has opened pre-order for Nokia Lumia 610 .
The handset is starting at somewhat of a high price – at 9990 Rubbles it is only 700 rubbles cheaper than the Nokia Lumia 710, which is of course a more capable handset. WP7Forum.ru expects the price to stabilize at around 7-8000 Rubbles eventually.
The handset will be available in Black, White and Blue. No release date has been announced yet.

LG Optimus 2X to get Ice Cream Sandwich in Q3
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleOptimus 2XAndroid 4.0
That the LG Optimus 2X is going to get Ice Cream Sandwich eventually is something that we know already. After all, the company itself made the announcement of an upcoming ICS update quite a while ago. However, we didn't have much information as to when the said update was going to be released... until today.
As stated by LG Mobile Singapore on Facebook, the LG Optimus 2X Android 4.0 update will start rolling out in Q3 of this year. In other words, there will be no Ice Cream Sandwich for LG Optimus 2X owners for at least another one and a half to three and a half months. Or at least not for those located in Singapore and the surrounding markets.

LG Optimus Elite on pre-order at Virgin Mobile; carrier's first NFC phone in the US
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus Elite
Sprint may already count the LG Optimus Elite among its roster of smartphones, but today that handset is finding a second home at Virgin Mobile. The $150 Gingerbread-powered device is now up for pre-order, and Virgin says it will start shipping on May 15th. Though the 3.5-inch HVGA display, 800MHz CPU and 5-MP rear camera aren't exactly impressive specs, the Optimus Elite stands out as the carrier's first phone to include NFC and Google Wallet for mobile payments. Unlike Sprint, which offers a white version, Virgin Mobile will only sell the Optimus Elite in silver. And while the former carrier prices the phone at just $30 after a mail-in rebate, Virgin's cheaper monthly plans might convince ...

LG LS970 superphone rumored: 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4, LTE, 13-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus G Sprint
BriefMobile has rumored a new LG device with a feature list that looks like a smartphone-lover's dream. The LG LS970, which the site is calling the "Eclipse 4G LTE," is said to be powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor paired with an Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB of RAM. It also includes a 13-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage, and a separate radio capable of voice-over-LTE (VoLTE). The phone itself, unhelpfully pictured from the back, appears to be a proof-of-concept prototype rather than a production-ready device, with an exposed aerial port and unfinished branding.

Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 now allows post-iPad 2 devices to downgrade to an older firmware
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsAppleiPadiPad 2iPhone 4s
Per usual, the Dev-Team whiz-kids have been hard at work trying to make your jailbroken iOS life a tad bit easier. This time around, MuscleNerd & Co. have outed their latest revision of RedSn0w (0.9.11b1), allowing folks using the new iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S to downgrade to lower firmwares for jailbreaking purposes -- a feature others have been enjoying for some time now. As expected, you'd still need those saved SHSH blobs from the previous firmware in order to do so, and if your device depends on an unofficial unlock, it's recommended (with a few exceptions) to steer clear since this method will upgrade your baseband. Speaking of, the Dev-Team also notes you should stick with an earlier...

Acer Liquid Glow hits the FCC, keeps its secrets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerLiquid Glow
Acer's Liquid series phones only occasionally reach the FCC, so it's with some surprise that we've just spotted the still-fresh Liquid Glow getting the US agency's approval under its E330 model name. Details are scarce as to whether or not there's been any changes made to the Android 4.0 phone on its way out of Taiwan, however: there's no telltale signs like cellular frequencies or carrier badging. If anything, Acer is hoping to keep information hush-hush by stamping a 180-day confidentiality seal on the manual and photos. It's entirely possible that this is the international GSM model with no 3G support for North American carriers, so we wouldn't get worked up about local release plans. Eve...

U.S. smartphone adoption is faster than any other major technology shift
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
With smartphones already accounting for more than half of the mobile phones in the United States, we all know that the market is expanding rapidly, but how does this growth stack up with previous rates of technological adoption? That was the question asked by Michael Degusta in MIT’s quarterly Technology Review. Or rather the questions, since adoption cycles go through three distinct phases, an early adopter phase (0-10%), a maturing stage (10%-40%) and finally achieve market saturation (40%-75%).
That distinction is important, as smartphones are just entering the saturation phase, so we really can’t comment on how quickly it will eclipse that 75% mark. But looking at early adoption and mark...

Nokia 808 Pureview bound for US
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA808 PureView
Nokia's powerful cameraphone, the 808 PureView, launched this month in countries around the world - but not the U.S.
In fact, Nokia previously stated that they had no plans to bring the Symbian-run 808 Pureview (or any other non-Windows Phone smartphones) stateside in the future.
So it comes as a pleasant surprise that Nokia's U.S. president, Chris Weber, said that the company is trying to "figure out a way" to bring the Pureview to North American shelves.
Weber said that the phone won't be picked up by any specific U.S. carrier, but that it will be AT&T-compatible.

Message notification bug found on HTC One X; HTC says software fix is coming
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
A small number of HTC One X units are suffering from a message notifications bug which forces the user to open up the messaging application in order to see if there are any new messages. The bug prevents the status bar from showing that a message has been received and also does not allow a badge to show up on the messaging icon on the home screen to alert the phone's user to a message.
