Sprint's HTC EVO Design 4G now just $29.99 on Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAmazonEVO Design 4G
Good ol’ Amazon is offering the brand new HTC EVO Design 4G for just $29.99. That’s full 70% off (or “$70 less” whatever sounds better) Sprint’s price of $99.99. Needless to say, you’ll also have to put your signature on a new two-year contract to get the phone. On the other hand, if you’re upgrading or adding a new line, Amazon will take $79.99 out of your pocket. Finally, if you don’t want to commit on a two-year contract with Sprint, there’s the phone-only option, which costs $479.99.
As a reminder, the EVO Design 4G comes with a single-core 1.2GHz processor, 4-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) capacitive touchscreen, WiMAX, EV-DO Rev. A (used in areas where there’s no WiMAX signal around), Wi-Fi...

Vodafone UK now offers Nokia 700 for 26 GBP per month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA700
Nokia 700, which we know as one of the first Symbian Belle smartphones, is now available from Vodafone UK. The Big Red carrier is offering Nokia’s baby for free on a two-year 26 GBP per month contract. That money gets you 300 minutes, unlimited texts, 500 MB of mobile data and 1GB of BT OpenZone Wi-Fi each month. Alternatively, there’s the cheaper 20.50 GBP per month option that rocks 100 minutes, 500 texts, 250 MB of data and the same 1GB of BT OpenZone Wi-Fi access per month. With this plan, however, you’ll have to pour out 99 GBP to get the phone.
Not sure I can recommend a Symbian Belle device to anyone these days, especially when we know that the same cash can get you a decent Android s...

Samsung Exhibit II 4G to be shown off for T-Mobile at Walmart tomorrow, official channels November 2nd
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileExhibit II 4G
The original Samsung Exhibit was a mere blip on T-Mobile's radar screen when it originally launched, being obscured by titans like the HTC Sensation 4G. The sequel, curiously coming out a whole four months after its predecessor, is ready to see if it can buck the trend and offer a decent option to those seeking an inexpensive Android device. Starting at $30 after mail in rebate and with a two-year commitment, it's poised to launch tomorrow in Walmart stores nationwide, with stock coming into official T-Mobile channels on November 2nd. If you're feeling contract-averse, however, you can still procure the device for two Benjamins. Not bad for a phone that comes with Gingerbread, a 3.7-inch WVG...

Amazon UK has vendor with Samsung GALAXY Nexus in stock November 7th for $930
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAmazonGALAXY Nexus
According to Verizon's latest MAP listings, we expect to see the Samsung GALAXY Nexus launch in the States on November 10th. But if the listing for the phone spotted on Amazon's UK site is correct, we might see it released a few days earlier overseas and maybe-just maybe-in the U.S. as well. The listing comes from someone with the name "KingofGadgets" which might put a bit of a damper on this whole thing.
The version of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus on the Amazon UK site is SIM free and unlocked which means in the U.S., it will be running over AT&T's 3G pipelines. The price is 539.99 GBP which is approximately $930 USD. Of course, if you are a Verizon customer, and have an update to burn, you wi....

Nexus S port of Ice Cream Sandwich is available, if you can stand some rough edges
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleNexus SAndroid 4.0
Why wait to get an official bite of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich when you can load it on your Nexus S right now? After a quick tease a few days ago, an early preview is available to all thanks to a few hard working developers, although beezy's post on Android Central warns you may have to live without WiFi and Bluetooth for the time being. His build is only tested on the Sprint Nexus S 4G, although concurrent work posted at XDA-Developers should give 3G Nexus S owners a shot at the port as well. As usual with these early tester ROMs YMMV, but those who enjoy life on the bleeding edge can hit the source links for more info.

Sprint denied access to AT&T documents in fight against merger
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAT&T
U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle recently shot down Sprint’s request to access a number of documents related to AT&T’s planned acquisition of T-Mobile USA. “You don’t stand in the shoes of the consumer or the Department of Justice,” Huvelle said. Sprint originally sued to block the merger in September, shortly after the U.S. Justice Department filed a similar case in August. AT&T recently asked a judge to toss the suit entirely and, like Huvelle, said Sprint was not in a position to argue from the consumer’s standpoint. “Sprint cannot wrap itself in the cloak of wireless service consumers’ interest because Sprint is not a consumer but instead a competitor in the sale of wireless services,” ...

Samsung Transform Ultra does the QWERTY slide for Sprint
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungTransform Ultra
What big, wireless brother wants, big, wireless brother gets. With its pay-as-you-go subsidiary already packing this particular piece of mobile kit, 'twas only a matter of time before Sprint got its hands on the Transform Ultra. Officially announced for the third place carrier today, Sammy's Droid Charge with a QWERTY twist packs the usual array of mid-range specs. The 3.5-incher runs Android 2.3 atop a single-core 1GHz processor, with a VGA front facing / 3 megapixel rear camera, 512MB RAM, 2GB of storage and 1500mAh battery in tow. It's no next gen, 4G beastie, but sometimes you just need a workhorse to get things done. Pricing and availability have yet to be released, although we're sure ...

Motorola RAZR says hi to FCC with AT&T radios on board; Motorola XOOM 2 also visits?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsMotorolaAT&TXOOM 2RAZR
The Motorola RAZR has made it past the FCC and inside it carried radios tuned to AT&T's frequencies. But before you AT&T customers start getting excited, the frequencies are also used by many Canadian carriers and it is expected that the Motorola RAZR will be heading across the border after it is launched by Verizon. The shared bands are GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA Bands II/V for 3G.
No one is ruling out an AT&T variant of the Motorola DROID RAZR as it would make sense for the Schaumberg based company to spread its flagship phone to as many carriers as possible. This is the MO that Samsung has used quite well with its Galaxy line of smartphones. Of course, AT&T has not uttered a word yet and nei...

O2 to get Galaxy Nexus in November
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungO2GALAXY Nexus
Google had mentioned that it would be launching the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus with partners around the world, and now O2 has unveiled itself as one of those partners with a new teaser page for the hot new device.
The page gives the general spec sheet information about the Galaxy Nexus that we've gone over plenty of times, and does mention it will include an HSPA+ radio for "up to 21 Mbps download speed". The big news however is that O2 looks like it will be a launch partner for the Galaxy Nexus as the site says the phone will be available to O2 customers in November.
Still no exact date given for release, but November is only a week away, so we're hoping we'll be getting some more specific ...

Motorola RAZR open for unlocked bootloader business, if the carrier says so
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaRAZR
Promises, promises. Motorola wasn't exactly fibbing when it said all future phones would ship with unlockable bootloaders, as it appears they will. There's just one teensy obstacle impeding the joy of ROM flashers worldwide: it's up to the carriers' discretion to keep it that way. In a chat with AusDroid, Moto's VP of Enterprise Mobile Devices, Christy Wyatt, revealed that the RAZR would indeed be the OEM's first device to ship with a software unlock. Unfortunately, as in the case of the DROID variant, operators like Verizon have chosen to put the smack down on any custom hackery, citing the typical concerns over security. But it's not all grey wireless skies, the handset's global version wi...

Those of you with T-Mobile’s version of the Samsung Galaxy S II may be glad to know that your device of choice has been rooted. I’m saying “may” because not everyone is interested to modify its SGS2 smartphone, since the out-of-box experience is already rock-solid.
