Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO Design 4G
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.

A Sprint iPhone could sell 6 million units next year, says analyst
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Extrapolating from Verizon's 11% iPhone penetration since the iPhone 4 appeared in its portfolio, Gene Muster from Piper Jaffray concludes that the rumored appearance of the next iPhone on Sprint in October could net Cupertino 6 million units sold in 2012.
Granted, Verizon was all about Android until recently, and Sprint not so much, although it does carry the latest and greatest handsets with the green robot, so the number might be even larger than this 6 million iPhones prediction.

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.

Acer M310 Windows Phone said to have HDMI-out, 8GB storage
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerW4
We first heard about the existence of the Acer M310 Windows Phone last week, but literally no information was given besides the fact that two test units were discovered on a developer's traffic sheet. How about a few more shreds of meat to chew on? According to WindowsPhoneNZ, the Mango device was sighted at TechEd New Zealand with HDMI-out support. We may be seeing this feature across a large variety of Windows Phones coming out this fall, as the HTC Eternity has been rumored to include video output via HDMI as well. The observer claims the M310 has a "black shiny look" and "bevelled edges," has a similar appearance to the Acer W4 (shown in the above image), and includes DLNA support over W...

Ready to check out a phone brand you've never seen or heard of before? Of course you are. We just got our hands on exclusive photos and details of a mysterious Android handset from Verzo, a newcomer to the market. The phone's called the Kinzo and is slated for a launch in late September. Verzo's keeping a tight lid on the specifics for right now, but we know the phone was designed by Novague and it'll feature its own UI -- not in an attempt to be different, it says, but "to get the most from the Android system."

Sprint to offer iPhone 5 in October, WSJ reports
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
In line with recent analyst speculation, Sprint will offer the iPhone 5 in the “middle” of October, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, noting that the device will be sold at the same time as Apple’s current iPhone 4. That suggests that recent reports about the iPhone 4 being sold as a lower-priced option are accurate. Apple is expected to announce the successor to the iPhone 4 in September or October. The iPhone 5 is expected to be thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4 and recent reports have suggested that it will be a “bigger update” than expected. Other reports have also suggested that the device will offer an 8-megapixel camera and a dual-core processor.

New version of Swype includes gesture-based shortcuts for copying text, tweeting
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
The Swype virtual keyboard has been updated to beta 3.25 with a couple of handy new features. The most flashy of them are new gestures that are made by tracing from the Swype key in the bottom-left. Trace up to A to select everything in the current text box, trace to C to copy it, and trace to V to paste whatever’s in the clipboard. That’s clever and practical, but the really cool stuff involves tapping into apps. With certain text selected, you can gesture from the Swype key to T then W to launch into composing a tweet with that text, or to G then M to launch into a Google Maps search for that query. There’s also a gesture for Facebook in there somewhere, though the demo video doesn’t give ...
