HTC, Sharp, and ZTE planning NFC smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSHARPHTCZTE
HTC has been coy about adding NFC to its smartphones to date, but that could all be about to change after the company, along with Sharp and ZTE, announced that it is joining the NFC forum.
The NFC Forum, the non-profit industry association that advances the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has confirmed that Barclaycard has also joined.
While that isn’t a pre-requisite for including the technology in the latest and greatest phones, it is one of the first steps to taking the technology seriously.
The three are a handful of the 26 new companies to join the forum that works in a similar way to the Blu-ray Disc Association.

T-Mobile gives Wildfire S, free SMS to keep iPhone defectors
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileWildfire S
T-Mobile has been giving staff a flurry of options to try and keep customers from jumping ship for the iPhone 4S. New staff memos have shown the carrier giving out 500,000 text messages to existing T-Mobile subscribers who have unlocked iPhones. This would be to address those between October 18 and 20 who have a "high likelihood to churn" because they want a new iPhone, TmoNews saw.
Another offer is pitched more at those who would leave for the iPhone 3GS. T-Mobile would specifically try to pitch the "value of the open Android market place" by reminding them they can now get the HTC Wildfire S for free on a hardware upgrade and with a rebate. The choice is unusual given its status as an entr...

Verizon and HTC say Gingerbread update for HTC ThunderBolt coming soon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessThunderBolt
ack in late September, Verizon sent out an Android 2.3 update for owners of the HTC ThunderBolt. This took place after various rumors missed the mark on when Verizon's first LTE enabled phone would start running on Gingerbread. Whether or not there was a rush to get the software ready for the handset, some estimated that the update that started late last month was only 90% ready. As a result, HTC ThunderBolt users started experiencing problems after the new software was installed.
Some of the problems included erroneous email notifications and problems with the camera locking. Other issues were found with the clock app, Google Talk and HTC's Sense UI. But it looks like things are about to ge...

HTC Mozart selling out in Russia
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC7 Mozart
It seems Russians know a thing or two about selling Windows Phones.
According to a report we received the HTC Mozart is turning out to be so popular there that retailers are having to order as second batch.
The success is apparently due to a massive ad campaign by HTC, the MTS mobile operator and Microsoft Russia, MTS sales personnel that are eager to sell Windows Phones, with almost every MTS store features a Windows Phone ad and special Mozart display tags, and a nationwide TV advertising, also sponsored by MTS, stressing a very low price of 12,990 Rubbles, aluminium design and the "main sensation of the year" moto.
According to our tipster one can now hardly find a HTC Mozart in Moscow an...

End of the line for the HTC Surround
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSurround
It appears as though one of the first Windows Phone 7 devices to grace AT&T has finally run its course as the HTC Surround has disappeared from the carrier’s site signaling that it may have been discontinued.
The HTC Surround was released on November 8, 2010 along with fellow Windows Phone handset the Samsung Focus. A day later, the QWERTY packing LG Quantum hit the shelves. It is not official that the HTC Surround has been discontinued but a simple search on AT&T’s website is returned with a grim message that the item is no longer available.
With its sliding Dolby Mobile speaker, the HTC Surround is a unique device. It features a 3.8-inch LCD display and was powered by a 1GHz processor. O...

Verizon's Device Management System shows off HTC Rezound
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessRezound
Verizon customers with an upgrade to burn have been focusing their attention on three handsets-the Apple iPhone 4S and the upcoming HTC Vigor, Google Nexus Prime and the Motorola DROID RAZR. What is missing from this shopping list is the HTC Rezound which has appeared on Big Red's Device Management System. If the name sounds foreign to you, it is because sources for Droid-Life say that this is the phone that you have known for the last few months as the HTC Vigor
The HTC Rezound is said to offer some sweet, high-end specs as it will be one of the HTC Beats phones which means special earphones come with the handset and outstanding audio comes out of the handset. The Rezound will also feature ...

HTC Hero S Designed For Sprint
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCHero S
The US version of HTC's Hero S - just released for US Cellular - contains hardware supporting Sprint's unique network, including WiMAX, and CDMA in the ESMR (old iDEN) band, according to the FCC approval documents for the phone. Much like the Motorola Electrify for US Cellular is essentially the Photon with WiMAX disabled, HTC has done the same for the Hero S. The FCC has approved a version of the Hero S for Sprint with WiMAX, and a distinct variant for US Cellular that FCC documents describe as having WiMAX "operation disabled by software change only." The original Hero was Sprint's first Android phone. The new "S" model contains major upgrades, including a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S2 processor, ...

Qualcomm makes an awesome video of the HTC Sensation 4G powered by creepy crawlers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4G
To demonstrate the power-sipping nature of the third generation Snapdragon chipsets S3, as the one found in the HTC Sensation 4G, Qualcomm has hired some bugs to do their moves, while at the same time generating electricity to charge the handset.
Among spiders, praying mantises, scorpions and other assorted buggery, the dual-core 1.2GHz chipset gets running by the frantic movements in the so-called "Bug Circus Generator" and there is even energy left so the final result is a full battery charge to boot.
The footage is, of course, scripted with hours of preparation behind it, but it has great entertainment value for people who don't know much about mobile chipsets. For the S4 quad-core silico...

Sure, we knew this day was coming, but now the wait is finally over. Now the main question for T-Mobile customers at the end of their contract is whether to pick up the Samsung Galaxy S II or HTC Amaze 4G. Both handsets are now on sale from the carrier, running $229 and $259, respectively (plus plan, post-rebate, naturally). Thankfully, we've got a full review of the 4.52-inch Galaxy S II magenta edition and a hands-on with the 4.3-inch Amaze 4G, which should help make the deciding a bit easier.

AT&T now offering HTC HD7S for a single penny
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&THD7S
It’s not that often to see carriers slashing the prices of their phones. Quite the contrary, usually it’s the third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Wirefly that try to compete by cutting their margins to get customers on board. In that sense, today’s deal is an exception with AT&T offering the HTC HD7S for a single penny. Needless to say, you’re still required to put your signature on a two-year contract, but let’s face it – that’s something you would have to do anyway.
At the moment I’m writing this, the HD7S is still running the original version of the Windows Phone. The Mango update (Windows Phone 7.5) is scheduled to be released around the middle of October when you will (assumi...
