AT&T to load LG Thrill 4G with Qik, extra 3D content
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGThrill 4G
AT&T this morning gave further details of the LG Thrill 4G that included a handful of first for the carrier. The 3D Android phone better known as the Optimus 3D will be AT&T's first to come with Qik preloaded and, like devices from the past year, will have two-way video chat out of the box. Unlike at other US carriers loading the app, though, AT&T's service will be at least officially relegated to use on Wi-Fi.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple's commitment to the iPhone as a camera phone might have grown as a rumor late Wednesday said it might jump to a dual LED flash. Edison Opto, Everlight Electronics, and Lite-On have all been raised as possible candidates. Both Edison and Lite-On have been stepping up their shipments of LED flashes to major phone designers, Digitimes heard, making them ideal candidates.

HTC EVO 3D getting bug fixing update before its release
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D
The handset isn’t even officially available yet, and the EVO 3D is already getting an update. The update brings the software version up to 1.13.651.7, and contains a bug fix for the calendar application.
The bug itself would force close the Calendar application when one was trying to edit an event, and while that’s definitely a good thing to catch before the handset is officially in stores, but the update itself seems to be rather large for a simple bug fix, coming in at 26.59MB. Nonetheless, we’re glad to see such a bug has been caught before the release, as it’s a doozy.
With only a few days to go until the official launch for the EVO 3D, we may even see more updates hit as soon as the dev...

It looks like Motorola is unlocking the Atrix bootloader with the Gingerbread update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaGoogleAndroid 2.3ATRIX 4G
Motorola had said that they would change their policy on locking bootloaders by Q3 of this year, but the changes look like they're starting early. BriefMobile has confirmed through a leaked Gingerbread update for the Motorola Atrix 4G that the update will allow easy unlocking of the bootloader.
The Gingerbread update for the Atrix is scheduled to be released over-the-air in July, and will update the phone to Android 2.3.3, which unfortunately means that the phone still won't be able to use the new video chat in GTalk which requires 2.3.4. But, the update will allow the use of the traditional fastboot oem unlock command to unlock the bootloader. And, an unlocked bootloader means full support...

HTC announces the HTC EVO 4G+ in South Korea
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G
HTC South Korea has just announced a new device called the EVO 4G+ that looks a lot like something we’re soon due to get in the states, the EVO 3D. We wouldn’t hold it against you if you failed to tell the difference between the two smartphones, because based on looks alone they’re practically twins. The Evo 4G+, like the EVO 3D, has a 1.2 GHz dual core CPU, 4.3 inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels) display, 1GB of RAM, and can hop on WiMAX networks, albeit the Korean version known as WiBro. Unlike the 3D, the 4G+ also does 14.4 Mbps HSPA+ on the 900 MHz and 2100 MHz bands, meaning it’s a good fit for both Asian and European countries. The 4G+ also lacks a pair of 5 megapixel cameras and a 3D display,...

Apple iPhone 5 coming in September, latest report says
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
The Apple iPhone rumors go into overdrive this year because Steve Jobs didn’t introduce the 2011 model at WWDC and Bloomberg is reporting that the next iPhone (iPhone 5? iPhone 4GS?) will land in September, just in time for the back-to-school season.
The report says that the iPhone 5 will sport the new dual-core processor that can be found in the iPad 2 and it should also have a boosted camera. I’d expect it to be bumped up to 8 megapixels but find that the 5-megapixel camera in the current version is very, very good.
The report also says that the next iPhone will look similar to the latest one on the market, which is a direct dispute of another recent rumor which says that this version will...

Anyway, thanks to a little blerp in People Magazine’s “StyleWatch Concierge” section, it’s lookin’ like the Triumph will launch on July 19th. Still a mystery: the price. Quick! Check Highlights!

LG Thrill 4G lands this summer on AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGThrill 4G
It’s not much of a surprise but AT&T said that the LG Thrill 4G will land this summer with its glasses-free 3D display.
We first spotted the LG Thrill 4G as the Optimus 3D at Mobile World Congress and it boasts a “Tri-dual” architecture. That means it rocks a dual-core processor, dual-channel and dual-memory setup. While that’s a bit of marketing fluff, that does mean you can expect the Thrill 4G to be a powerful device when it does land on AT&T.

New bill could force carriers to tell the truth about 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
4G is barely in its infancy and it has already been through so much. First it was fake, and then some solid lobbying on carriers’ parts convinced the International Telecommunication Union to sing a new tune that would allow telcos to call LTE, WiMAX and even certain 3G technologies “4G” without blatantly lying. Though 4G’s definition is now anything but clear, carrier marketing soon could be — new legislation currently in hands of the U.S. House of Representatives could potentially require U.S. wireless service providers to define guaranteed minimum data speeds that customers can expect of their networks. Since two tin cans and a piece of string can basically be called a 4G network according...

HP seeks NFC engineer for 'smartphone and tablet products'
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksCell PhonesHP
HP's mystery-wrapped Touch-to-share functionality already does something very similar to Near Field Communication, but it looks like the company's not satisfied with its own tech and will be jumping into the rapidly growing field of companies embracing NFC. A new job listing that has popped up online this week invites applications for the position of NFC Design Engineer on HP's tablet and smartphone team. Responsibilities include the design, testing, and debugging of NFC antennae and systems, but also expand to "support of product in field," indicating that HP is working on an aggressive roadmap here.

iPhone 4 becomes the most popular camera on Flickr
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
The iPhone 4 has just become the most popular camera on Flickr beating the Nikon D90 who long held the crown and made us wonder about all the possible reasons behind it. A look at Flickr's stats shows that its professional and semi-professional DSLRs that occupy the rankings as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II comes third, followed by the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi and the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. One thing is evident – the iPhone 4 has a far inferior camera than all of them.

Nokia claims N9 is 'the fastest image-capturing phone' yet
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
We've already established that the N9 is a delight of a phone, both inside and out, but our hands-on time with Nokia's new flagship gave us only a brief look at its camera performance. Now the company is graciously filling that gap in our knowledge with some further disclosure about its new 8 megapixel imager, including the lofty claim that the N9 is the fastest phone yet when it comes to capturing an image -- ousting the likes of the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S II, and even the Canon S95, perhaps the best pocket camera around at the moment.

The FCC wants to kill off hidden phone fees
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to prevent the telecom industry from charging its customers with unauthorized or hidden fees on their monthly bills (also known as cramming). FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said the agency would consider a proposal to "explore new ways to empower consumers and protect Americans against cramming and mystery fees," according to The Wall Street Journal.
It's not yet clear what the FCC will outline as an option, but the rules will focus on "transparency and disclosure" for consumers. Last week, the agency fined four small phone companies $11.7 million for adding unauthorized long-distance-related fees to subscribers' phone bills.
It has long bee...
