HTC and Facebook working on new Android smartphone for later this year, says DigiTimes
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid
HTC and Facebook, two companies already familiar with one another from their partnership on the ChaCha and Salsa handsets, are reportedly in the midst of jointly developing a new Android smartphone. DigiTimes cites insider sources in reporting that a specially customized Facebook-centric handset is set to launch in the latter half of this year. It's said to feature "a platform exclusive to Facebook," which will facilitate the integration of the social network's full feature set into the phone. Yes, that's all very general at this point, but we're inclined to believe there's some truth to this, following the moderately successful run of the ChaCha / ChaChaCha / Status device, which was handic...

Nokia: No delay for Lumia 900
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
Nokia has denied reports that it has had to push back the UK arrival of its Lumia 900. The manufacturer says the Windows Phone device remains on schedule and has told Pocket-lint that customers will be able to buy the phone in store “very soon”.
Nokia went on to add that the Lumia 900 was always down for a Q2 arrival and that the issue lay with dealers giving out pre-order dates online.
Phones 4u had originally said that they would be selling the phone from 27 April, but it would appear it jumped the gun, with its site still taking pre-orders for the handset.

Google wanted to subsidize a $9.99 unlimited data plan for Android phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleAndroid
In documents revealed during the Oracle v. Google trial today, Google mentioned to T-Mobile back in 2006 that it wanted to turn the carrier plan pricing structure on its head by underwriting part of the cost of an unlimited data package. By Google's math, customers would pay $9.99 a month for unlimited data — to subsidize the reduce cost, the company would forgo the commission it earned from T-Mobile for referring Android buyers to its online store. Google figured that its own services — Gmail, search, and so on — would consume about 15MB a month, a figure likely estimated to be far lower in 2006 than it is today.

First ever Google Phone prototype revealed in court
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogle
Pictures of the first prototype Google Phone device from 2006 have surfaced, along with the search giant's initial plans for the Android operating system.
Two years before Android was launched commercially, Google approached T-Mobile USA with the prospect of releasing an internet-centric phone with a $9.99 a month (£6) unlimited data plan.
The initial device looks a little bit like a strange BlackBerry Bold, with Google proposing an open source operating system packed with Google apps like Maps, Gmail and Google Talk.
That would eventually, of course, become Android.
