Sprint has announced a new $1 billion credit agreement that will be used to purchase equipment from Ericsson for the carrier's Network Vision project. Deutsche Bank leads the group of banks that will be providing the credit facility, and the purchased equipment will help Sprint build out its LTE network, for which the carrier was just recently granted permission to use its 800MHz spectrum. The network is expected to go live in six markets by the middle of this year, with the full rollout due in 2013. And this might not be the last financing news we hear from Sprint — the company revealed last year that it may also require $7 billion in financing to cover the $15.5 billion in subsidies it's p...

Motorola DROID RAZR HD appears in Cellebrite system

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

The Cellebrite system is what carriers use to move over some of the data from your old phone, like the contacts list, to your new phone. While the inclusion of a phone model in the system doesn't automatically mean that a launch is imminent, it can be a sign that a release is getting closer. Thanks to a leaked photo, we can see that third party Cellebrite machines are now showing the DROID RAZR HD as model number XT926. Verizon customers and your everyday variety DROID fans have been waiting to see what the Motorola DROID RAZR HD would look like and check out the specs.

Apple’s Chinese manufacturing partner Foxconn has reportedly begun accepting orders to build an Apple TV set, according to Chinese news website Sina. The publication’s sources claim the long rumored iTV is currently in the “trial production stage,” however more details were not given.

The device is said to feature an aluminum casing, iOS, Siri voice controls and an iSight camera for FaceTime video cha...

HTC Sensation XL getting its Ice Cream Sandwich dessert

HTC Sensation XL getting its Ice Cream Sandwich dessert

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

Users of the HTC Sensation XL, mostly in Europe and Asia, have received the Android 4.0 update over the air. To make sure you have received it, go to Settings > About phone > Software updates and hit that button. You will be downloading a 200MB package which means those with a strict data cap might want to wait for a Wi-Fi connection before installing it. The exact build that you will be updating to is Android 4.0.3 while HTC Sense remains at 3.6. This brings users some of the new ICS features like Face Unlock, the new app dock and the multi-tasking menu. What you won't be getting is the new UI found on devices carrying HTC Sense 4.0.

Sharp Pantone 5 ICS phone has 8 color choices,  3.7-inch screen - oh, and a radiation detector

Sharp Pantone 5 ICS phone has 8 color choices, 3.7-inch screen - oh, and a radiation detector

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: Cell PhonesSHARP

Color us shocked and jealous at the new Android 4.0 phone from Sharp -- strange and wonderful even by Japan's highly elevated standards. The eight colors of the 3.7-inch Pantone branded phone from carrier Softbank are nice for sure, but the ability to sense between .005 and 9.99 μSv/h of radiation is in a new category altogether. Though Sharp has hedged a bit by describing the detector as "non-compliant" with Japan standards at this point, the possibilities seem endless for such a feature -- the ability to constantly report your location and radiation level to Facebook comes to mind, for instance. It will be offered -- in Japan only, we presume -- with a 4-megapixel rear camera, eight Panton...

LG E970 for AT&T with Adreno 320 GPU comes out on top of graphics benchmarks

LG E970 for AT&T with Adreno 320 GPU comes out on top of graphics benchmarks

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: Cell PhonesLGAT&T

Now we don't know whether the LG E970 for AT&T that appeared in GLBenchmark's database will sport the dual-core MSM8960 Pro Snapdragon, or the quad-core APQ8064, but it will surely sport the new Adreno 320 graphics processor, judging from the GPU details revealed.
The specs also list HD 1280x768 pixels display and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and we've heard before that the Sprint version - LG LS970 "Eclipse" - of this new LG flagship might feature 2GB of RAM, like the LG Optimus LTE 2, and sport a quad-core processor, so that's what could be in store for AT&T's version as well.

Nearly one million iOS devices jailbroken over holiday weekend

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

Absinthe 2.0, the untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 5.1.1, has already been downloaded almost one million times. According to the Chronic Dev Team, 973,086 devices had been jailbroken as of Sunday evening, 211,401 of which were Apple’s newest iPad. The program, which was released to the public on Friday and runs on a computer connected to an iOS device, is compatible with A4 devices like the iPhone 3GS and iPad as well as A5 and A5X-powered devices such as the new iPad and iPhone 4. It is not compatible, however, with iPad 2 models powered by Apple’s newer 32-nanometer chipset, though this updated iPad 2 only became quietly available a few months ago.
