HTC Holiday running on AT&T's 4G LTE network photographed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&THoliday
BGR has obtained photographs of the still-unannounced HTC Holiday Android phone, which may be AT&T’s first 4G LTE-enabled smartphone. We were also shown the results of LTE speed tests taken on the HTC Holiday in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, and from what we saw, they topped out at an incomprehensible 29Mbps — far faster than the fastest speeds we have seen on Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Of course AT&T’s 4G LTE network is basically empty right now since it hasn’t yet officially launched, but we definitely like what we’re seeing so far. As far as the HTC Holiday hardware goes, previously reported spec highlights include Android 2.3.4, a 4.5-inch qHD display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 8...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCT-MobileGalaxy S IIAmaze 4G
Many of you T-Mobile fans are anxiously awaiting the Galaxy S II and we’re happy to tell you that a leaked roadmap says it should launch at the end of October.
TMoNews got its hands on the leaked schedule for the next few months and it shows that the Android superphone from Samsung should be landing in late October but we still don’t have a specific release date. We know the Sprint version of the Galaxy S II will be coming first in September, so let’s hope it doesn’t lag too long.
Confirming a previous rumor, the leaked roadmap says late October should also be the release date of the HTC Ruby, or what could be called the “Amaze 4G.” This Android beast is expected to have a 4.3-inch screen an...

Sprint sues to block AT&T purchase of T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: T-MobileAT&T
Following in the footsteps of the Department of Justice, Sprint has announced its lawsuit to block the proposed purchase of T-Mobile by rival AT&T.
Sprint, a longtime opponent of the buyout, and one of the most vocal against it, takes the position that the purchase of T-Mobile by AT&T would be bad for the consumer and detrimental to the wireless market in the U.S. Sprint points out in its lawsuit that the acquisition would harm both retail consumer and corporate customers by stifling innovation and causing higher prices. It continues to state that the purchase would "entrench the duopoly control of AT&T and Verizon," and therefore concentrate more than three-fourths of the market and 90 perc...

Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi only now available for 329 GBP
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
Not sure whether we should put the “hot deal” sign near this… Motorola Xoom is now available for 329 GBP (about $540) from Dixons in the UK. If this deal was available 6 months ago, we would definitely go all crazy about it; alas today it’s a very different market and I’m not sure that many people actually want Moto’s Honeycomb tablet with so many other options available for pretty much the same amount of cash. Asus’ Eee Pad Transformer is definitely a better device thanks to its detachable QWERTY keyboard / external battery pack. But if you want just the tablet “part,” you may want to grab the Xoom anyways.
The 3G-enabled Xoom, in case you wonder, could be yours for 399 GBP, which translate...

HTC has the most up-to-date Android phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid
The Android Update Alliance (AUA) was set up back in May to unite phone makers under the umbrella of timely Android updates, but we haven’t heard a word about the idealistic venture since then.
And just a couple of days ago, we saw that Gingerbread is slowly replacing older versions of the platform, but Froyo is still the dominant flavor. So who can you trust for the fastest updates and the most up-to-date Android versions?
AndroidandMe has taken the time to compile a list of Android handsets with their respective versions from every phone maker from the AUA and has drawn some conclusions.
First of all, the list clearly shows that HTC updates its phones most often, while Samsung, LG and Mo...

Verizon's Samsung Illusion, Pantech Breakout revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungPantechBreakoutIllusion
Thanks to the savvy ninjas at PocketNow, we have the first real images of two upcoming Verizon smartphones – Pantech Breakout and Samsung Illusion. The first of the two has already been leaked before – it comes with LTE support, 4-inch WVGA display, 1GHz single-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera (for video calls), 512MB of RAM, memory card slot and the ability to create a mobile hotspot for up to 10 devices. In other words, it’s like the ThunderBolt or Droid Charge with a smaller screen.
As for the Samsung Illusion, we’ve no idea what it will pack under the hood. Judging by the phone’s model number (SCH-i110), it’s most likely a mid-range device with a single...

Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S available for pre-ordering in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungSony EricssonGALAXY NoteXperia arc S
Two newly announced Android smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, are already available for pre-ordering in the UK through Clove.
The online retailer asks 349.99 GBP (about $563) for Sony Ericsson’s baby, listing September 26th as the availability date. The device, which BTW is an upgrade of the original Xperia arc, can be pre-ordered in either midnight blue or pure white.
As for the Galaxy Note, the situation is completely different there. Clove has no clue when Sammy’s huge superphone will be available nor how much it will cost. They show a “speculative price” of 600 GBP without sharing any dates whatsoever. If that doesn’t bother you, and you also happen to have...

While the highly anticipated Samsung Epic 4G Touch is set to launch at $199.99 from Sprint, Wirefly is offering early adopters an unusual discount — a pre-payment of $149.99 will secure anxious GALAXY fans an Epic 4G Touch as soon as they become available in mid-September.

Remember that mysterious Samsung slider, the SCH-i405, headed for Verizon that was pictured during the summer? Many Verizon customers had hoped that it would be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Remember the Samsung Stratosphere that was listed on the Verizon roadmap we reported? Many thought that would be the Samsung Galaxy S II. Now that we know better, and the Samsung Galaxy S II is not coming to Big Red as we informed you, it turns out that Pocketnow has discovered that the mysterious slider is the Samsung Stratosphere.
To refresh your memory, the Stratosphere has a 4 inch screen with what appears to be a Super AMOLED Plus screen. 2GB of storage is aboard as is a 5MP rear camera an...

Samsung GT-i8350 to be no speed slouch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungFocus Flash
In so far as we can trust WP Bench data (which is clearly not always the case) the Samsung GT i8350, which is believed to be the European successor to the Samsung Omnia 7, appears to be a pretty fast device, and significantly faster than the other new 1 Ghz Mango handsets like the Fujitsu IS12T or Acer M310/W4.
The Samsung GT-i8350 or Samsung Omnia W, with a 3.7 inch screen and 5 megapixel camera, is believed to be a relatively low-end handset, but maybe it has some surprises in store for us after all.

Will Windows Phone Apps Run On Windows 8?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows Phone 7Windows 8
When you look at the combined 70 percent smartphone market share of Android and Apple in the U.S. compared to Microsoft’s measly and shrinking 6 percent, it seems like it’s game over before it really began for Windows Phone. Windows Phone is a decent mobile OS, even promising, but so far it has failed to capture the hearts and minds of developers or consumers. Can Microsoft do anything to change that and will it involve tying Windows Phone more tightly to its next desktop operating system, Windows 8?

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia arc S
Surprisingly, UK retailer Clove Technology appears to be beating out expectations by bringing the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S to market much sooner than anticipated. When it was officially unveiled at IFA in Berlin last week, the refreshed Android powered smartphone was expected to hit shelves sometime in October.
Well, it appears that Clove UK plans on shipping out SIM-free units starting on September 26th – with a £350 ($564) price attached to it. With pre-orders for the handset available in either “pure white “ and “midnight blue” paint jobs, this handset will definitely turn some heads more with its upgraded hardware.
Specifically, it features a faster 1.4GHz single-core processor, which ...
