HTC Bliss to be called the Rhyme, launching September 20?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCBliss
The HTC Bliss is a phone we've seen so much of that new press renders don't necessarily show us anything we haven't seen before -- there have been enough hands-on photos, walkthrough videos and leaked Sense 3.5 screenshots that there's really no questioning its future. The image you see above was leaked with a few new pieces of quality information: the Bliss will inevitably become the Rhyme once it hits stores -- which plays right into HTC's infatuation with Beats, though the tech probably won't be incorporated here -- and will likely be announced at the September 20th event (the date on the press image is often a solid indicator). HTCInside is also reporting that the Rhyme will be available...

Canada’s Rogers Wireless will be adding the LTE-enabled version of the Samsung Galaxy S II to its portfolio. Starting from September 28th, customers in Toronto and Ottawa will be among the first ones to get their hands on the super-fast and super-awesome Android smartphone. Yep this includes our very own Simon Sage, who will undoubtedly try to get a review unit and let you know what he thinks about it.

Bell begins rolling out LTE network today to trial markets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
When we reported that Bell's LTE network would be deploying "soon," the company happily obliged by launching it less than two weeks later. Beginning today, the Canadian carrier will have its next-gen services available to a limited number of markets, including Toronto, Waterloo, Hamilton, Guelph and Mississauga. The deployment will spread over the course of the next year, though no specific plans were mentioned aside from the obvious expansion to urban areas first, followed by rural and remote coverage as determined by the outcome of the country's upcoming 700MHz spectrum auction. Sadly, the only device available at launch -- contrary to our original report -- will be the Sierra Wireless U31...

LG Optimus S finally receives its long awaited Android 2.3 Gingerbread update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleOptimus SAndroid 2.3
When it was first released last fall, one of the nice things about owning the LG Optimus S was the fact that it came with Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box – and in fact, it was one of the few at the time to sport that version. Fast forward to almost a year later, the handset is finally moving up to the next version of Android.
Sprint announced the beloved news that many handset owners have been waiting for, which is none other than the fact that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the handset is being rolled out. However, they’re releasing it in droves over the course of the next 10 days – so don’t be alarmed if you don’t see that notification today.
As always, the new software update fea...

LG Marquee steps out in leaked press shot, coming this October? (updated: it's official)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGMarquee
It looks like the LG Marquee's gearing up for its coming out party. We first caught wind of the Optimus Black clone when it surfaced in blurrycam form at a Radio Shack briefing, running what appeared to be vanilla Android, and branded for the Now Network. Well, thanks to a leaked press shot over on PocketNow, we can clearly see that the device is, indeed, sporting a lightly-skinned version of the pure Gingerbread experience, with Sprint ID replacing the browser in the phone's launcher. Cosmetically, you'll also notice the new grey-colored chassis has a striped band sweeping down the battery cover, although the camera placement remains similar to its European cousin. Aside from that, the only...

Samsung claims T-Mobile Galaxy S II uses 1.5GHz Snapdragon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGalaxy S II
Samsung in a response on Twitter gave an answer as to the mystery of the processor in the T-Mobile Galaxy S II. A social media spokesperson said it was the 1.5GHz Snapdragon APQ8060, the same processor as in the TouchPad 4G. Every other Galaxy S II version so far uses Samsung's own 1.2GHz Exynos chip.
It's still not clear why the T-Mobile version will have needed one of Qualcomm's chips, although it may have to do with network choices. T-Mobile's need for the 1,700MHz band on its HSPA+ 3G, which might go to a rare 42Mbps, could have pushed Samsung to change processors to get the frequency support it needed.
When it ships, which is expected in mid-to-late October, the T-Mobile edition may not...

Vodafone opens an office in Silicon Valley
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
As Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer used to put it, [it's all about] “developers, developers, developers.” Vodafone realizes that, hence it decided to set up an office in Silicon Valley to allow an army of developers to test their apps and services on one of the world’s biggest mobile networks. Of course, its U.S. subsidiary Verizon Wireless (Vodafone owns a big chunk of Verizon’s mobile business) will also have a presence in the same space, making for an even better deal for those interested to have their stuff running on two networks.
According to the new center director Fay Arjomandi, “It’s a corporate objective to accelerate innovation of products.” As a result, once Vodafone has decided to wor...

Motorola DROID BIONIC - was it worth the wait
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONIC
You know what this expression means. In the field of mobile technology, we would use it to signify our admiration to a particular product or service that seems to be ahead of its time. In this relation, the Motorola DROID BIONIC, announced on January 5, seemed like a smartphone that was too good to be true, with its ubiquitous spec sheet, which almost magically combined all that was considered trendy and cool at the time.
Back at CES 2011, the DROID BIONIC made one helluva splash, with its promise to be the first handset to deliver both 4G LTE connectivity and a dual-core CPU, which would enhance the overall experience of using the phone, presumably surpassing anything we've seen up to this ...
