T-Mobile Galaxy Note press shot outed - July 11th release date
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGALAXY Note
If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on a Samsung Galaxy Note via T-Mobile, it looks like you don’t have much longer to wait. A press shot of a T-Mobile branded Galaxy Note has leaked out, and rumor has it that the popular tablet/phone hybrid will be making its way to Magenta shelves on July 11th.
At the beginning of the month, Samsung stated that the company has already moved over 7 million Galaxy Notes, which is impressive for a device of its kind. The Note is a large device, and we’re pretty sure Samsung didn’t think it was going to take off the way it did. Well, lucky for them, the Note is selling well and having it on another carrier in the US should boost the sales even more.

Ice Cream Sandwich update for AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S II delayed for technical reasons
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungAT&TGoogleGalaxy S IIAndroid 4.0
Last night, it seems that word had slipped out that the Android 4.0 update was available for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S II via Kies. Unfortunately, it turned out that the update was available only for a limited time. For those unfamiliar with the process, Kies allows users to connect their Samsung-made device with a PC or Mac using a USB cable. One use of Kies is to install software updates such as Android 4.0 as an alternative to an OTA update.
So why was the Android 4.0 first made available and then apparently pulled? One AT&T customer decided to discuss the matter with an AT&T rep via a Live Chat. And during this chat, the rep said that the update has been delayed due to "Te...

HTC One S offered with 1.7GHz Snapdragon S3 processor in Taiwan and India
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne S
The shortage of Snapdragon S4 processors is prompting HTC to use Qualcomm’s old-gen CPUs in some devices. The One S that is offered in India and Taiwan won’t come with the newest Qualcomm processor, but the old Snapdragon S3 clocked at 1.7GHz. Now we’re not sure how the two CPUs compare and I think there won’t be any visible differences as far as most users are concerned. Still, some others may appreciate the best Qualcomm CPU in their phone(s), especially when they have to pay a premium to get the One S.

Microsoft-branded smartphone rumor
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMicrosoft
Microsoft’s first attempt at making its own mobile phones wasn’t exactly a success. In fact, it would be fair to say that the Microsoft KIN was one of the genuine flaming-bus-crash-into-an-orphanage disasters of recent mobile phone industry history. But Microsoft apparently thinks it’s older and wiser now, and it wants to try making its own phones again, according to Nomura analyst Rick Sherlund. Per Business Insider, Sherlund sent out a note today stating that Steve Ballmer and his merry band “may be working with a contract manufacturer to develop their own handset for Windows Phone 8.” What’s more, Sherman said that “it is unclear to us whether this would be a reference platform or whether...

White HTC Evo 4G LTE appears in Sprint advertisement
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
HTC's smartphones are no stranger to white paint jobs, and it look like the new Evo 4G LTE will be no different. A silver and white version of the device has shown up in a Sprint ad, and while the carrier has not made any official announcement regarding the variant, Techno Buffalo recently reported that it is already listed in the company's inventory. The original Evo 4G was also released in white — as was the HTC One X, the Evo 4G LTE's close relative — so the new color scheme would come as no surprise. Then again, this could all just be the result of a slip up in Sprint's marketing department.

Lumia 900 owner vents Windows Phone 8 frustrations, Stephen Elop responds
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
If you've been following our Windows Phone 8 coverage today, you know that anybody who buys a Windows Phone today will not be able to upgrade to WP8 when it ships this fall. If you were an early adopter that's not such a bad deal, but if you bought a Lumia 900 oh, say, three weeks ago you might be upset -- and rightly so. And rightfully angry is Luke, who sent us an email he fired off to Nokia's Stephen Elop and AT&T's Ralph de la Vega in which he asks why he shouldn't, right now, turn around and return his phone.

LG halts tablet development to renew its focus on smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLG
Like its competitor HTC, LG is turning away from tablets and focusing on smartphones for its mobile strategy. Ken Hong, a spokesman for the Korean manufacturer, told Bloomberg that “We’ve decided to put all new tablet development on the back burner for the time being in order to focus on smartphones.”
LG has made a few tablets, including the Optimus Pad which launched alongside several high-profile Optimus-branded smartphones. Sales figures for LG’s tablet line are not known, but they are likely low. Apple’s iPad dominates the tablet market and companies like IDC predict the iPad’s lead will only grow in 2012. As a result, there’s not a lot of room for new products to compete.

Nokia Lumia 900 finally available on O2 Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
It has been a very long wait, but the Nokia Lumia 900 has finally become available on O2 Germany, weeks after we first expected it to arrive.
There is of course also no evidence of 32 GB of storage, just the usual 16 GB, with the handset available for 514 Euro contract-free.
With the handset arriving on the eve of the Windows Phone 8 announcement, we can only hope Microsoft has some good news for existing owners.
See the phone at O2 here.

Sony gathers all of its recently announced handsets for a media preview at CommunicAsia 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
We were waiting for an announcement from Sony today, and here it is, straight from a side event the company is holding at CommunicAsia 2012 - the expo where it usually unveils new stuff.
It's just that this year there is nothing new, since the company announced a barrage of new handsets already in the last month or so, and has gathered all six of them for the world to see for the first time.
These include the global edition of Sony Xperia ion, the rugged Xperia go, the Xperia acro S, the recently announced Xperia miro and tipo, and the Xperia neo L. They will be soon on sale (Sony promises Q3), but what we are really waiting for is the global version of the Xperia GX, or that elusive Mint I ...

HTC EVO 4G LTE does not support Google Wallet?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G LTE
Whether it has to do with the rumored Sprint 'Touch' mobile payment technology that the nation's third largest carrier is said to be developing, or just a case of gremlins invading the software, users of the carrier's new flagship HTC EVO 4G LTE have been unable to get Google Wallet to work. Members of Xda developers forum, resourceful as ever, found that tricking the software into thinking that it was running on the Samsung GALAXY Nexus would allow it to run perfectly.
If only the story ended here. But it didn't as soon the HTC EVO 4G LTE returned a message that "Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier," leading many to believe that the service w...

LG Optimus L5 hits Europe this month

The second model from LG’s Optimus L-Series, the midrange L5, is set to hit shelves in Europe this month the company has confirmed. Announced at Mobile World Congress back in February, the Optimus L5 has a 4-inch HVGA touchscreen, 800MHz processor and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, in a body that shows no small amount of inspiration from LG’s PRADA Phone 3.0.

ZTE announces Grand X LTE for Europe and Asia Pacific
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTEGrand X LTE
You probably don't put too much thought into how many chips it takes to get your smartphone on an LTE network, but just in case you were curious, ZTE's upcoming Grand X LTE (T82) will only need one. Qualcomm's MSM8960 makes the Grand X LTE ZTE's first single-chip LTE handset, and the firm is very proud. If processor cores and hardware stats are more your concern, however, rest easy knowing the Grand X packs a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a delectable serving of Android 4.0. Details on the slab's price and release date are scarce, but it should hit Europe and Asia Pacific in the third quarter. Check out the official press release after the break for more details.

Sony Xperia Ion hits AT&T June 24th for $99 on contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyAT&TXperia ion
In the tech industry, time (and the fleeting interests of geekdom) waits for no one product. So, it's understandable if you've already forgotten about Sony Mobile's US flagship: a sleekly designed, mid-range contender known as the Xperia Ion. It's been nearly six months since the electronics giant officially unveiled the device at CES and, for brand loyalists still clinging to the edge of their seats, the wait's nearly over. Starting June 24th, AT&T will be offering the LTE handset -- a first for the newly unified wireless outfit stateside -- for $99 with a new two-year agreement (insert applause for Nokia and its precedent setting Lumia 900 here).
So, what do you get for that compelling pri...
