HTC predicts 55 percent revenue jump, could hint at strong One sales
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne SOne VOne X
HTC's results for Q1 2012 were a long way short of spectacular, but they came too early to see any impact from sales of its latest wares -- particularly the flagship One X and the ambitious mid-range One S. According to Reuters, the Taiwanese manufacturer now predicts that its revenue will leap by 55 percent in Q2, compared to that bad last quarter. That kind of growth equates to around $3.56 billion, which isn't so impressive when you compare it to the same quarter last year, when turnover broke records and was around 20 percent higher, but it's still an encouraging sign that this company could reap what it sowed at MWC.

DROID Incredible 4G LTE appears on Verizon site
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessDROID Incredible 4G LTE
The HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE has been outed on Verizon’s “Droid Does” website. The new Incredible is equipped with a 4-inch qHD Super LCD display, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD slot and an 8-megapixel rear camera — possibly the same one found on HTC’s One-series smartphones. The handset also runs HTC’s latest Sense 4.0 skin atop Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. In line with Verizon’s other 4G LTE smartphones, the latest Incredible will seemingly be offered for $299.99 alongside a new two-year agreement. The DROID Incredible 4G LTE has since been removed from Verizon’s site and there is no word from Verizon regarding a release date.

T-Mobile G2X finally gets the bug-squashing update it needed a year ago
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesT-MobileG2x
Once upon a time, the T-Mobile G2X had promise that no other Android phone had. The US variant of the world’s first dual-core phone was met with a lot of praise, which turned into a mess. The stupid powerful handset suffered from handfuls of bugs, which resulted in it being pulled from shelves, only to return with minimal improvements. Well, it looks like the handset may finally be receiving the update it needed out of the gate – literally over a year since its release.

Lumia 900 data connectivity fix finally available to Rogers customers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
When the Lumia 900 data connectivity fix was released to AT&T customers a full 3 days early, it was presumed that Rogers customers would have access to the fix at the same time. Unfortunately, they were informed that they would have to wait until “around April 20th” to get the update.
It looks like that update is finally available to our friends to the north, albeit a little late. Rogers customers can download and install the update through the Zune software on Windows or the Windows Phone 7 Connector app on OS X.

HTC One V coming to Canada on Bell, will reunite with One S
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne SOne V
Canadians looking to hunt down the smallest addition to HTC's One series are in luck. According to a MobileSyrup tipster, it'll arrive on Bell next week, in all its aluminum unibody glory. While the One X looks to be confined to Rogers in the Land of the Maple Leaf, both the One S and One V are going to be offered by Bell Mobility. The mole also hinted at pricing below CND $300, matching those entry-level credentials we've explored just recently. Not a fan of Bell? Don't get disheartened -- the Android 4.0 minnow will also make an appearance on Telus, so 'chin' up.

Rumor: LG's next flagship, the D1L, to come with wireless charging
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLG
LG announced “the world’s first quad core smartphone” at Mobile World Congress in February of this year. Dubbed the Optimus 4X HD, it still hasn’t hit the market, meanwhile the HTC One X has, and it has the same quad core NVIDIA Tegra 3 inside. Anyway, just like the HTC One X has a dual core variant that relies on Qualcomm’s S4 Snapdragon, LG is said to have an Optimus 4X variant called the D1L that also uses the S4 Snapdragon. We don’t know when this mythical handset will hit the market, but according to the South Korean website DDaily, we know that it’s going to have at least one feature that makes it unique: wireless charging. Assuming the D1L can be recharged without having to fiddle wit...

After reaching overseas versions of the Samsung Galaxy S II, the official Android 4.0 update is now reaching US versions of the unlocked device. The 216.6MB over-the-air update is gradually being released to handsets, though users can go and check for its availability by going into the Settings menu.
Like in the last update for the overseas handsets, TouchWiz is retained and the Android 4.0 UI is relatively invisible. Users will get Face Unlock, however, and support for newer apps including Chrome for Android and other, less visible upgrades.

Report: Next iPhone Body Made of 'Liquidmetal'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesApple
A new report out of Korea claims Apple will swap out the glass back on its next iPhone for a super-tough alloy called Liquidmetal.
Citing industry sources, Korea IT News reported on Wednesday that Apple's next-generation iPhone will be made of "zirconium, titanium, nickel, copper and so forth." This should give the device a "surface smooth like liquid." The material would offer the iPhone some benefits – it is light, but also highly resistant to external impacts and corrosion.
Rumors that Apple will give the iPhone a metal back have been floating around since last year, even before the launch of the iPhone 4S. Last March, Taiwan's Economic Daily News said complaints of scratching and difficu...

HTC's Future: Slim Phones, Less QWERTY, Wi-Fi Display
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
SEATTLE—With HTC's One S and One X getting glowing reviews, it looks like more slim, touchscreen slabs are in the smartphone maker's future.
Here at Frequencies, a bloggers' event thrown by HTC, top HTC designers have been laying out the company's choices. HTC is picking slim phones over huge batteries, camera quality over megapixels, pure touchscreen phones over QWERTY, and is seriously looking at Wi-Fi Display for the future, executives said.
The most controversial quote of the day came when HTC's vice president of phone strategy Bjorn Kilburn said that the company had rejected models with giant 3000mAh batteries similar to the one attached to the Motorola Razr Maxx.

Korean newspaper Maeil Business believes that Samsung's finally ironed out the kinks in its S-Cloud service and will unveil it alongside the Galaxy S III at next month's event. The Korean giant will reportedly offer an "unlimited service" with less of the content or storage restrictions imposed by iCloud. It'll also apparently come with a VOD-store, offering up audio and video content for a fee, presumably beside what's available in Google Play. It's also reporting that the company's Media Solution Center has asked Microsoft to join KT and Amazon in developing the infrastructure to ensure a smooth launch. Either way, it's not long now until we know for certain, so be sure to join us on May 3...

Rumor: Microsoft to start pushing out Windows Phone Tango this month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
Since Windows Phone first started shipping back in Q4 2010, there have been two software updates: NoDo, which added copy and paste and CDMA support; and Mango, which added multitasking, a newer version of Internet Explorer, and a whole bunch of UI tweaks. Now there’s a third update scheduled to go out this month called Tango. Some of you may have heard that codename before when we reported on the Nokia Lumia 610. That device is special because it’s the first Windows Phone to run on lower end hardware specifications, which is a feature of Tango. Other features of Tango include the ability to handle SIM contacts, to send multiple images via MMS, and there’s likely many other small things that ...
