Nokia 808 PureView coming to the US, but don’t ask for carrier subsidy
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA808 PureView
The 41-megapixel Nokia 808 PureView is a device we can imagine people interested in mobile photography would be eager to get, and after Nokia disappointed us by officially stating in the product page that the phone won’t arrive to the US, now it’s backtracked a bit. The 808 PureView will come to the United States, but it won’t be subsidized by carriers. Rather, it will ship unlocked.
“We’ll figure out a way to make that available in the U.S. in the next couple of months,” Nokia US President Chris Weber said.
That’s already reassuring and nice, but we’re pretty certain that even without Nokia’s help unlocked 808 PureViews would have arrived on interested retailers.

HTC EVO 4G LTE release date is May 18, Sprint announces officially
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
Forget all rumors and speculations – the HTC EVO 4G LTE release date is now official. Sprint just announced that the smartphone will be available for purchase starting May 18, just like what most clues indicated. Of course, those of you who have invested $200 in pre-ordering a unit should expect receiving your parcels on that day or earlier.
For those who need a refresher, the HTC EVO 4G LTE is a redesigned version of the HTC One X. In terms of hardware, you get a 4.7-inch 720p display, dual-core Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5GHz, and a snappy 8-megapixel camera.

AT&T's HTC One X gets rooted, catches up with the global gang
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&TOne X
No sooner did the international variant of the One X reveal its source code, now the AT&T version has landed itself an unofficial root. Better still, the folks over at xda-developers have already squeezed the occasionally laborious process into a one-click install. For those not in the know, this doesn't mean an unlocked bootloader, which is still wrapped up in AT&T red tape. Root meddling types can hit up the source for the necessary files. Just, be careful -- that's some pricey polycarbonate and the Galaxy S III's still some weeks away.

Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T spotted munching on Ice Cream Sandwich at CTIA
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungAT&TGoogleGALAXY NoteAndroid 4.0
The Android Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung GALAXY Note was moved to this quarter, which almost half gone, so it shouldn't be too much of a wait for those impatient Note owners who want the latest and greatest Android 4.0 on their device.
In fact, that AT&T version of the Note has been recorded on video at CTIA running Ice Cream Sandwich with a whiff of TouchWiz applied over it. Even if you didn't see the firmware version, some other telling signs, like the presence of a quick access to Settings in the drop-down notifiction window suggest Android ICS is onboard.

Carrier IQ hires former Verizon privacy counsel Magnolia Mobley as Chief Privacy Officer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
It's been several months since Carrier IQ explained its data collection practices and responded to FCC and Senatorial inquiry about its privacy policies. Despite the fact that it's no longer in the headlines, Carrier IQ's still intent on improving how it handles consumer info. That's why the firm has hired Magnolia Mobley away from Verizon (who eschewed Carrier IQ's services in favor of its own Remote Diagnostics tool), where she was Big Red's Chief Privacy Counsel. Ms. Mobely will be Carrier IQ's General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer and she's expected to help the company focus on preserving consumer privacy. You can read up on her credentials further in the PR after the break.

BlackBerry Curve 9320 now official: BB OS 7.1, 2.44-inch display, BBM button
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9320
The 9320 has visited more countries during its short gestation than some phones get to see in their whole lives, but it's finally arrived. The specs are pretty much what we guessed, with the socially-focused BB OS 7.1 onboard, a 3.2-megapixel camera and typical Curve features like a 2.44-inch 320 x 240 non-touch LCD display, 'super charged' 1450mAh battery, FM radio and a small, lightweight 103 gram QWERTY form factor. Same specs, different day, but then there's also microSD expandability beyond the 512MB of eMMC, which can't be taken for granted, plus a new feature in the form of a dedicated BBM key on the side. As for the 9320's cheaper sibling, the 9220 shown above, we've already been han...

AT&T now offering the HTC One X
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
The AT&T variant of the HTC One X is now available from the carrier at a price of $199.99 with a signed two-year pact. The model is not endowed with the quad-core Tegra 3 like the international version of the phone, due to compatibility issues with LTE. But based on benchmark readings, you won't notice any drop off in performance with the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 under the hood. The Adreno 225 GPU takes care of the graphics side of things.
