HTC Titan sold out on AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&TTitan
It may have been a mistake to sell the HTC Titan for only 1c yesterday, as it seems the gigantic handset has proven so popular that it is now temporarily out of stock on AT&T.
The handset was already in short supply even before the promotion, and many users had difficulty taking advantage of the deal.
Hopefully Microsoft convinced AT&T to order a good supply, and the shortage is an indication of popularity and not just low stock.
Are any of our readers having difficulty getting their hands on an HTC Titan? Let us know below.

Samsung releasing white Galaxy devices in Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
A number of white variants of devices in Samsung’s Galaxy line have popped up in different markets. Most recently, T-Mobile announced it would be carrying a white Samsung Galaxy S II. Now, Samsung Germany has announced that it will be introducing white versions of several Galaxy devices in Germany.
The devices that will be receiving the makeover are the Galaxy Y, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S Plus, Galaxy S II, and the Galaxy Note.

The expectation is that, like other markets that have received Galaxys with paint jobs, the prices and featu...

Samsung Galaxy S II LTE arrives in Japan, NTT DoCoMo offers up its first course of 4G phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II LTE
Japan has got its first taste of an LTE smartphone, and this one's Galaxy-flavored. Oh yes, Samsung's Galaxy S II LTE has made an appearance on NTT DoCoMo, running on the Japanese carrier's next-generation Xi network and promising top download speeds of around 37.5Mbps. The latest member to the carrier's top-drawer Next series will set you back around $260 (¥20,000) on a two-year contract. DoCoMo is aiming to reach the hands of 30 million customers by 2015, with another as-yet unnamed several more 4G devices already penned for release before the end of the year. Perhaps the pair of data-loving handsets will help to fill that iPhone-shaped hole in the carrier's phone catalog.

HTC withdraws objection in IPCom case, likely to settle on essential 3G patent
Like UnlikeFiled in: HTC
In a surprise move, HTC has withdrawn its objection to a preliminary objection granted to patent holding firm IPCom during a lawsuit in 2009 just days before the appeal was headed to trial. As a result, German courts have ruled that IPCom may now seek an immediate injunction on all HTC products, leading to speculation that a settlement will be forthcoming shortly.
According to legal analysts, the move appears to be an end-run by HTC to prevent IPCom from getting rulings on two additional patents that were introduced during the appeals process. By withdrawing their appeal, the new patents are also dropped and IPCom would have to start a new lawsuit from scratch to assert them.
The remaining p...

Cricket unveils ZTE Chorus, its third Muve Music smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTEChorus
We're not saying much, but a little bird told us about this travesty months and months ago. Now, it seems that Cricket is ready to act on its plans, and well, here's the ZTE Chorus. It's certainly a handsome device, but sadly, there's not a whole lot going on underneath the hood. It combines a 3.2-inch 400 x 240 (WQVGA) resistive touch display with a 600MHz CPU, a 2 megapixel camera and a 1000mAh battery. Seeking redemption, the Chorus is the third smartphone in Cricket's stable to offer Muve Music access, and its $40 price tag (after some hefty rebates) is nothing to sneeze at, but really, even without contract, don't saddle yourselves down with this one, folks. The Samsung Vitality is a mu...

Verizon Galaxy Nexus spotted at $199 in canceled promotion
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Verizon customers waiting for the Galaxy Nexus will be intrigued by the latest advertisement making the rounds. A Netshelter ad appearing at various blogs suggests the Galaxy Nexus will debut for a reasonable $199. This is $50 less than the launch prices of comparable 4G Android handsets on Verizon and a $100 less than the Nexus’ $299 price tag. This may be the case of an ad hitting the airwaves too soon, but it is likely an ad for a Black Friday deal that never materialized.
The ad contains a link with a November 29 date in the URL. The link will also bring you to Verizon’s holiday website. The page is filled with deals on other Android and 4G phones, but noticeably absent is the Galaxy Ne...

Australian Galaxy Tab 10.1 ban 'not terribly fair' to Samsung, appeals judge says
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
An appeals judge in Australia recently said that a ruling which banned Samsung’s local subsidiaries from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was unfair to Samsung. “The result looks terribly fair to Apple and not terribly fair to Samsung,” federal court justice Lindsay Foster said on Friday. Samsung’s lawyer Neil Young said the lawyer in the original case, federal court justice Annabelle Bennett, failed to take into consideration the “dire consequences” that the ban would have on Samsung during the holiday shopping season. “We contend that the primary judge made a series of fundamental errors in her disposition of the interlocutory application,” a Samsung attorney said. “They were all errors of prin...

Panasonic reaffirms plans to bring its Android phones outside of Japan
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsPanasonicGoogleAndroid
We’re pretty confident Panasonic wants to sell phones to everyone interested whether he/she lives in Japan or not. However, it’s not as easy as it sounds even though the Japanese company makes some great products, like that LUMIX Phone 101P (arguably the best Android-based camera phone). The Japanese giant has to deal with mobile operators, get good terms from them and then finally reach end users.
According to Reuters and Nikkei, the negotiations are under way, with Panasonic trying to enter the European market in 2012 by partnering with a “major telecommunications firm.” No names were named but it’s clear they refer to one of the following companies: Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica (O2) or T-...

Internet security service provider, Zscaler, recently published some interesting usage data for the last quarter, including some insight into mobile browser usage. Although iOS may be winning device adoption over BlackBerry in businesses, it looks like the majority of Zscaler’s enterprise subscribers that browse the web on smartphones (40.3%) are doing so through an Android device, while BlackBerry claimed 37.26%, and iOS 22.38%.

Droid 4 launch to coincide with Galaxy Nexus in US?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaGALAXY NexusDROID 4
Motorola's much anticipated Droid 4 is set to launch the same day as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. A Verizon document points to a 8 December arrival for the new phone.
The launch date hasn't been totally confirmed for the new device and it is important to remember that the Galaxy Nexus isn't set in stone either.
More exciting however is the spec sheet listed on droid-life.com, which shows off what the Droid 4 is going to be capable. A 4 inch super AMOLED display, Razr looks and backlit 5 row keyboard are just the start of this feature packed handset. Moto has always performed with its Droid handsets and this Gingerbread powered release will likely be the same. The 1080p capable cam on the b...
