Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAcerICONIA SMART
Five months is a very long time to wait for the large-handed smartphone addict, but finally there is some good news, everybody! We previewed Acer's massive 4.8-inch phone / tablet hybrid back in February and it looked like it would arrive in the U.S. sometime in April. It's now August and and according to Acer's Facebook page, we still have a month to wait. The phoneblet (Yes, there's already a name) retains the same specs we heard about in February: Snapdragon processor, twin cameras and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. When it finally does arrive, it'll cost Europeans €499 -- around $710.

iPhone 4 Theft Charges Dropped for Gizmodos Jason Chen
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Remember back a few months ago when the folks at Gizmodo had a large opportunity in purchasing an iPhone 4 weeks before it was released to the public? Turns out they did indeed get in some rather large potential trouble for said incident, but that as of today, San Mateo County prosecutors will no longer be pursuing criminal charges against tech blogger Jason Chen (or any other Gizmodo employees), though the same can’t be said about the man who sold the device TO Chen. March 2010 was the time, the Internet was the place, and the San Mateo County court in California is no longer the venue.

Quite a serious issue for such a high-end device, don't you agree?

The wait for the Motorola Droid Bionic is finally coming to an end, and Verizon’s first dual-core LTE phone will soon be upon us.

The rugged Samsung Galaxy Xcover runs Gingerbread and is not afraid to get dirty
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy Xcover
When it comes to rugged phones, most of them would not offer you much in terms of software and functionality, but the newly-announced Samsung Galaxy Xcover does not follow that unwritten rule. Powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the Galaxy Xcover is one full-fledged smartphone, yet it is tough enough to withstand the elements. The device is IP67 certified, which makes it resistant to dust, dirt and submersion in water at up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, so it would probably not mind hanging out in your pocket the next time you decide to go jet-skiing. Besides that, the smartphone's display is made using scratch-resistant tempered glass meaning that it will take more abuse that you would imagine...

Samsung Omnia 7 with Mango RTM floating around in the wild
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungOmnia 7
WPSauce have been sent this screen shot of the Samsung Omnia 7 supposedly running Windows Phone 7.5 7720, which is the Release to Manufacturer version of Mango.
The development is either evidence of the OS being hacked into the handset, or of the OS undergoing carrier testing.
I am sure the impatient few would prefer the former, while I am sure most of us just wish the official update would come sooner rather than later.
