Does the HTC Ruby have a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon under its hood?

Posted on Aug 15, 2011 by MG3

We recently reported that the HTC Ruby was headed to T-Mobile, thanks to pictures that show the carrier's branding on the case of the handset. At the time, we had no idea if this was to be a budget priced phone for the kiddies, or a heavy duty, high-end device for power users. As it turns out, specs of the device obtained by TmoNews suggest that the HTC Ruby fits into the latter category.

HTC Vigor may be first Beats phone

HTC Vigor may be first Beats phone

Posted on Aug 12, 2011 by MG3

The upcoming HTC Vigor will be the first to sport Beats technology in phones, Droid-Life learned from its sources. The Beats by Dr. Dre device should be identified as such by a logo that appears during the boot-up sequence. Otherwise, the source claims the device will indeed sport a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a very high 1280x720 resolution and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor.

Leak: HTC Mazaa: Looks like the HTC Trophy for Verizon, but with Mango

Leak: HTC Mazaa: Looks like the HTC Trophy for Verizon, but with Mango

Posted on Aug 12, 2011 by MG3

Microsoft finished work on the next version of Windows Phone, dubbed Mango, a little over two weeks ago. Between now and the end of the end of this year you can expect to see a slew of smartphones running Mango hitting the market. We’ve seen one already, the Fujitsu Toshiba IS12T, but that’s not going to be available outside of Japan. So what can we (Europeans and Americans) look forward to come this holiday shopping season? Pictured above is the HTC Mazaa, which looks like the HTC Trophy that Verizon Wireless started selling less than three months ago, but it’s running Windows Phone Mango. According to the guy who supplied said photo, it feels “faster” than any other previous Windows Phone....

“Android for Girls?” HTC Bliss Coming to Verizon

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

Verizon is preparing to launch an Android phone targeted towards women, the HTC Bliss. The device comes in a “pretty” seafoam-like green, and will include a dangling charm that lights up when you have a missed call or new message.
Oh, and here’s the best part – the phone is also rumored to ship with special women-friendly apps, like a calorie counter and an app for shopping.

HTC Ruby shows its T-Mobile skin, Android aspirations

HTC Ruby shows its T-Mobile skin, Android aspirations

Posted on Aug 09, 2011 by MG1

Well folks, now we know. It looks like the HTC Ruby that was leaked via a series of hyper-sensitive office photos is headed to T-Mobile. You know the one -- a couple weeks back, when someone underestimated the glare of the HTC Flyer and dropped their seemingly harmless photos on Flickr? Yeah, that's the handset in question. Not much dirt on the specs, besides the familiar key layout cluing us into Google's obvious underpinnings.. and just maybe, we'll get some fresh baked Gingerbread goodness. Either way, more info should be on the way soon, but until then, careful to check your reflections, friends.

T-Mobile's HTC Ruby caught in the wild

T-Mobile's HTC Ruby caught in the wild

Posted on Aug 09, 2011 by MG1

Remember the HTC Ruby, the unannounced Android smartphone which we caught at Flickr? Well we now have a more revealing photo to show you, clearly suggesting this baby is slated to hit T-Mobile. And while we have no other information at the moment — like the release date and price — we think of the Ruby as a mashup between the HTC Sensation and some myTouch model. In that sense, we assume (speculate) it will come with HSPA+ (4G) and Wi-Fi connectivity on board, 5-megapixel camera, 3.7-inch or bigger WVGA touchscreen, along with all other “standard for an Android smartphone” goodies like sensors, Bluetooth and so on. Moreover, Android 2.3 Gingerbread will run the show right from the start.
And...

HTC Developer site goes live: OpenSense SDK and kernel source offered aplenty

HTC Developer site goes live: OpenSense SDK and kernel source offered aplenty

Posted on Aug 09, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Cell PhonesHTC

HTC's flipped the switch on its development website, which was designed to be a "one-stop shop" for a wide variety of SDKs and other resources for developers. As promised, the manufacturer's OpenSense SDK -- which includes a S3D SDK for HTC's 3D stereoscopic interface and pen SDK for its Scribe feature -- is now available for download; there's also plenty of kernel source codes to peruse and access. Finally, the Bootloader Unlock web tool, one of the most highly anticipated pieces of software that the company's promised to unleash, only shows as "coming soon" on the site. There hasn't been any official word on when it'll go live, but we're expecting it to happen later this month as the EVO 3...

HTC ThunderBolt getting Gingerbread this quarter

HTC ThunderBolt getting Gingerbread this quarter

Posted on Aug 05, 2011 by MG1

The HTC ThunderBolt was the first 4G-enabled smartphone on Verizon's speedy LTE network, but since its launch not much has changed with its software – the handset continues to run on the quickly aging Android 2.2 Froyo, even though back in March HTC spilled the beans about an upcoming Gingerbread update. Well, four months later, it's still coming, but this time we have a particular time period for it – the third quarter of the year.
HTC representatives have been spreading the word about the update which will add Gingerbread tweaks and features, and fix some problems along the way:
“We are working hard to address the issues you have mentioned with future updates for the device. We are excited...

HTC to launch as many as eight new smartphones in Q3

HTC to launch as many as eight new smartphones in Q3

Posted on Aug 04, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Cell PhonesHTC

HTC chief executive Peter Chou on Tuesday said that the Taiwan-based smartphone vendor is scheduled to launch between six and eight new smartphone models this quarter. HTC continues to report record quarter after record quarter, and the onslaught of new handsets it is preparing for the fall season will give the vendor a great shot to top the record 12.1 million smartphones it shipped in the second quarter. The popular smartphone maker currently expects to ship 13.5 million handsets in the September quarter, its CEO says. Chou also stated that all of the devices HTC launches in the third quarter will be middle or high-end models, which will likely help the average selling price of HTC phones ...

HTC clarifies how the unlocking bootloader procedure will work

HTC clarifies how the unlocking bootloader procedure will work

Posted on Aug 04, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Cell PhonesHTC

It’s funny, HTC makes some of the best Android devices on the market, from a specification and build quality perspective, but then they molest Google’s mobile operating system with their Sense overlay because they somehow think that as a hardware maker they understand software better than Google engineers. They then reach out to the community and ask them what they want in future HTC devices, and the community unanimously agrees that they need an unlocked bootloader, which in layman’s terms is the capability to install a different version of Android on your phone because you can’t stand the default configuration. HTC agrees to the demands and portray themselves as heros for listening to thei...
