Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCTitanRadar
Yesterday, HTC managed to execute a one-two punch as they officially unveiled their upcoming Windows Phone 7 Mango smartphones – the HTC Radar and Titan. Even though release dates weren’t mentioned regarding the two, we’re getting a clearer picture with pricing instead thanks to retailer Clove UK.
In fact, the popular mobile online retailer is going to start accepting pre-orders for the two device later today as the HTC Radar will be selling for £285 ($461). Meanwhile, the more compelling HTC Titan is going to be priced at a heftier £415 ($672), which is indeed wallet chomping in price. Still, Clove UK intends on getting shipments sometime in early October – so you’ll need to wait a good mon...

Cost of 4G LTE devices to drop significantly next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
As much as smartphone, mobile hotspot and connected notebook users love the blazing fast speeds afforded by 4G LTE service, it’s tough to be an early adopter when new devices carry such a premium. Verizon Wireless’ latest 4G phone, the DROID Charge, hit the market at a jaw dropping $300 on contract, for example. According to a report from DigiTimes on Thursday, devices with embedded 4G LTE radios are about to get significantly less expensive. With various chipset vendors set to begin mass production of new single-mode LTE chips later this year and Qualcomm preparing production of its multi-mode LTE chips in the first half next year, prices are expected to drop substantially in the second hal...

Dual core Sony Ericsson Nozomi coming next year?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony Ericsson
It seems Sony Ericsson's flagship phone of 2012 has been outed as the high-spec Nozomi, although whether it's still cutting edge next year remains to be seen.
The Xperia Blog is quoting a highly trusted source about the new phone, which will pack a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.
On top of this would be a 4.3-inch screen with a huge 1280x720 resolution, giving it a PPI of 342 which far exceeds the iPhone 4.

Motorola's Photon 4G: The best Android smartphone yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPHOTON 4G
There's new hope for Android aficionados who want IT to let them use their preferred mobile OS for work, thanks to Motorola Mobility's four business-oriented smartphones: the Photon 4G and Xpert for Sprint, Atrix 4G for AT&T Wireless, and Droid 3 for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has filled in several deficiencies of the Android operating system that keep many IT organizations from allowing its use. For example, the new Motorola devices add support for on-device encryption to Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" and support more Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) security policies, so they're now compliant with many organizations' security requirements.

HTC Runnymede: Are these guys seriously launching a 4.7 inch phone?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation XL
Large smartphones are something that polarize the mobile community. When the first generation Samsung Galaxy S shipped it packed a 4 inch screen. Many people were protesting at what was at the time considered a monstrosity. It didn’t take very long for someone to outdo the Galaxy S however and release a 4.3 inch smartphone; that made even more people cringe. The madness doesn’t stop there though, at the Consumer Electronics Show this year the 4.5 inch Samsung Infuse was announced for AT&T and it was, to put it lightly, ridiculous. During this week alone Samsung announced two devices with a 4.5 inch screen, the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE and the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II. HTC, ...

Kyocera Milano coming to Sprint September 9th for $50, looks nothing like Alyssa
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesKyoceraMilano
The Samsung Conquer 4G may be appealing to a lot of folks craving a mid-range Android device with WiMAX, but what if that extra G just isn't all that important to you? Sprint has a little extra room to spare in the lower end of its lineup, so it's tossing in the Kyocera Milano. The device is rumored to run on Gingerbread and may include an 800MHz CPU with 512MB of RAM, a 3-inch display, a 1,340mAh battery, a 3.2 megapixel camera and a slide-out keyboard. It's likely to be hitting Sprint on September 9th for $50, just in case you've always wanted a phone with an uncanny resemblance to the cookie of the same name.

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.

Gingerbread update for the Motorola DROID 2 is being pushed out pronto to handsets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaGoogleDROID 2Android 2.3
There’s no arguing that the Motorola DROID 3 exudes that perfect combination of dreamy specs and improved design to make it one of the more substantial handsets for Verizon, but its predecessor is also seeing some love now that Gingerbread is making its way to it.
Today, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is being sent out and brings the Motorola DROID 2 up to spec with some of its siblings. However, it’s only packing Android 2.3.3 as opposed to the more recent version of 2.3.4 – still, we’re sure handset owners are going to be appreciative. Obviously, one of the more prominent visual changes with it is the fact that it sports a new user interface and color scheme. Meanwhile, some of the oth...

iPhone 5 design possibly leaked in Photo Stream icon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Hints of the iPhone 5's real design may have come through an unusual source as a sighting in Apple's latest Photo Stream beta has shown an unusual icon. Rather than match the usual iPhone layout, it shows a device with a wide home button and considerably reduced blank spaces above and below the display, alluding to a bigger screen. The 9to5 capture nearly recalls the design of the Galaxy S II.
Although an abstraction with room for it to just be an unintended effect, Apple is known for often being fastidious about the look of device icons, even giving iOS devices and iPods their individual colors when they show in iTunes. As such, the icon may be a strong indication of significant design chan...
