Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
The Motorola Atrix 4G made a big splash earlier this year for several reasons: it was the first dual-core Android phone to hit the market, and it transformed into a kind of laptop computer. Even if you ignored the groundbreaking laptop "Webtop" mode, the Atrix 4G was still a very powerful smartphone.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerICONIA SMART
Five months is a very long time to wait for the large-handed smartphone addict, but finally there is some good news, everybody! We previewed Acer's massive 4.8-inch phone / tablet hybrid back in February and it looked like it would arrive in the U.S. sometime in April. It's now August and and according to Acer's Facebook page, we still have a month to wait. The phoneblet (Yes, there's already a name) retains the same specs we heard about in February: Snapdragon processor, twin cameras and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. When it finally does arrive, it'll cost Europeans €499 -- around $710.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Remember back a few months ago when the folks at Gizmodo had a large opportunity in purchasing an iPhone 4 weeks before it was released to the public? Turns out they did indeed get in some rather large potential trouble for said incident, but that as of today, San Mateo County prosecutors will no longer be pursuing criminal charges against tech blogger Jason Chen (or any other Gizmodo employees), though the same can’t be said about the man who sold the device TO Chen. March 2010 was the time, the Internet was the place, and the San Mateo County court in California is no longer the venue.
