HTC Sensation and EVO 3D revealed to be spying on users
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4GEVO 3D
First Apple, Google and Microsoft were accused of tracking user locations and now it appears HTC’s Sensation and EVO 3D smartphones are spying on their owners. According to user TrevE from InfectedROM, a recent Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update from HTC added a little something special to the source code of Carrier IQ (CIQ), an Android component. CIQ is not new; it is part of Android and used on most devices to send data back to carriers about your smartphone. However, the source code on the EVO 3D and Sensation reportedly now has a “User Behavior Logging” function that is capable of tracking how Sensation and EVO 3D owners use their smartphones in greater detail. Read on for more.

HTC Evo 3D available for $50 from Wirefly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
If you’re on a market looking for some “3D smart” action, you probably want the HTC Evo 3D. Sprint is still selling the WiMAX-enabled device for $199.99, while third-party phone sellers are asking for about $100 less, along with a two-year contract. Now Wirefly decided to go one step further, slashing the Evo 3D’s price to $50! Of course, putting your signature on the same two-year agreements is required, but that’s like given these days.
As you most likely know, HTC’s baby rocks a 4.3-inch glasses-free 3D touchscreen with qHD (540×960 pixels) resolution, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, two 5-megapixel cameras on the back, front-facing camera for video calls, EV-DO Rev. A (where WiMAX is not ava...

HTC gives bootloader unlocking to T-Mobile Sensation, more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4G
HTC has now added the T-Mobile Sensation 4G and a number of other handsets to its official bootlaoder unlocking program. Available online, the process lets some Android phone owners change the firmware of their handsets without special hacks. Currently supported are various models of the Sensation in different markets and the Evo 3D for Sprint.
There are some provisos, however, as the bootloader unlock isn't guaranteed to maintain the factory warranty. At the same time, the process doesn't remove carrier locks, and any official over-the-air update aren't guaranteed to work. There is also the possibility that Netflix and other apps that deliver secure content may not work as the copy protecti...

HTC Omega spotted in the wild on Algerian auction site?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCRadar
Just a few days after its renders first leaked, the HTC Omega has apparently been spotted in the wild, on an Algerian auction site, of all places. French blog Mon Windows Phone claims that the rumored Mango device may sport a Snapdragon MSM8255 1.5Ghz processor, 512MB of RAM and a 3.8-inch LCD, though it's hard to glean too many specifics from the blurry images featured on the auction site. The blog also spotted an eight megapixel camera around back, along with that front-facing shooter that Microsoft's been touting, while the listing claims that the phone boasts up to 8GB of storage capacity. The white-and-gray Omega is rumored to debut at this week's HTC event in London, though details on ...

The HTC Omega Might Be the First WP7 Handset You Actually Crave
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCRadar
PocketNow has a leaked photo of the upcoming HTC Omega and it looks like there's a front facing camera. WP7 has lagged on that so it's great to see them reach some feature parity. Oh and using a 1.5Ghz Snapdragon processor doesn't hurt either.

HTC Holiday for AT&T in the wild -- 4G LTE, 1.2GHz, 4.5-inch qHD display
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCHoliday
Looks like AT&T's fall lineup will include at least one slab of irresistible. The so-called HTC Holiday is indeed real, and it'll soon be gracing Ma Bell's airwaves -- and not just the HSPA+ ones, either. We've confirmed that the Holiday will be amongst the first handsets to launch in AT&T's LTE markets, bringing with it a rather gargantuan frame, a 4.5-inch qHD touchpanel, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of memory, an 8 megapixel rear camera (with flash), 1.3 megapixel front-facing shooter, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and a foursome of capacitive touch buttons below the panel. Software wise, it'll ship with Android 2.3.4 and HTC Sense 3.0, and while we haven't been able to nail it down ...

DFT and Orange Team together create HTC HD2 ROM which can be updated normally by Microsoft
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftHTCHD2HD2 USWindows Phone 7
The Dark Forces Team and Orange Team have combined their forces and achieved the seemingly impossible – they have created a ROM for the HTC HD2 which can be updated normally like any other Windows Phone 7 handset over the Zune desktop client.
Beyond this the ROM also retains Root and ChevronWP7 status, meaning users are both free to edit the registry and side-load applications.
Lastly the ROM also allows custom packages to be side-loaded via Zune, making for the ultimate custom ROM machine.

HTC Bliss gets its clearest photo session yet, shows off front-facing camera
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCBliss
The HTC Bliss is undoubtedly going through the typical pre-launch routine: it's passed through the ranks of the FCC, received its first Blurrycam session, and now we're finally seeing the upcoming device up close and personal. The folks at XDA China got their hands on one and took a few high-quality images for the world to see, which means we're probably not too far away from the phone's forthcoming release. They confirmed that the Bliss will in fact run on HTC Sense 3.5, feature a front-facing camera, and that it will come in a variety of colors. So, will we find this on display at next week's HTC meetup? Or maybe our team will get some hands-on time at IFA? And will this "female-oriented" ...

The HTC EVO Design 4G, formerly known has the HTC Kingdom, is a Sprint bound device that we have only known preliminary information until now thanks to a leaked photo and some confirmation on the smartphone’s specs.
For a while it was believed that the HTC Kingdom would be called the HTC Hero 4G. Instead, it was given the EVO moniker just as 2 smartphones (and 1 tablet) had before it. The specifications of the HTC EVO Design 4G are pretty much what they were first rumored to be.

White HTC EVO 3D gets exclusive RadioShack bow on September 9th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
If Wall-E's lady friend, Eve, and Spielberg's E.T. were to come together in engineering matrimony, we're pretty sure this white EVO 3D would be the resulting offspring. This "rare and beautiful" unicorn from HTC's beastly, dual-core Android herd hails from the Hesse-led network, and will be available as a RadioShack exclusive on September 9th. The electronics retailer dipped more than just its toes into our 21st century ways (or more likely hired a new intern), getting the message out via its Twitter account, and snapping an Instagram shot of the bleached handset. Pricing for the phone has yet to be announced, but we'd be surprised if this gets a premium over its $199 on-contract twin.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCStatus
Surprise! Even a clever little gimmick like a dedicated Facebook button can’t save a bad phone from an early demise.
After just 36 days on the shelves, a trusted source close to AT&T tells us the carrier is already prepping to ditch HTC’s so-called “Facebook Phone”, the Status. The reason? The thing just isn’t selling.
Since the initial tipster came forward, we’ve confirmed with multiple sources that sales of the Status are considerably lower than anyone expected. AT&T declined to comment.
