LG Revolution now just $99.99 at Wirefly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGRevolution
It’s not every day we come across a brand new Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone for under $100. In fact, the only other occasion we can recall is Amazon’s $99.99 HTC ThunderBolt sale from earlier this month. Starting immediately, however, Wirefly customers upgrading to a new Verizon smartphone or opening a new account can snag the the LG Revolution for the same great price — just $99.99. BGR reviewed the LG Revolution earlier this month and found it to be the most well-rounded LTE smartphone to date. While its display couldn’t match the DROID Charge’s Super AMOLED Plus screen and the UI couldn’t top the ThunderBolt’s Sense, the build trumps both those phones and the handset more than powerf...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Even though we don’t think about it that much, while others might take it for granted, recognized cell phone manufacturers around the world rigorously test their products to ensure that they’re safe to use.

Owners of the HTC EVO 4G were undoubtedly thrilled when the update for Android 2.3 Gingerbread was released, but there were a few nagging issues with the update. Notably, the new version of Android broke compatibility with the Netflix for Android app that was also recently released. Well, it looks like Sprint and HTC have addressed the issue and are now pushing out a maintenance update to correct it. Also packed in with the update is a voicemail notification fix and hearing aid compatibility. Users will get a notification on their phones when the update is ready to be downloaded and installed.

Sony Ericsson dates XPERIA X10 Gingebread update, teases with video demo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSony EricssonGoogleXperia X10Android 2.3
Sony Ericsson has confirmed that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the XPERIA X10 is scheduled to arrive in early August, though not everybody with the handset will get the new ROM. Those with generic trade models – i.e. sold unlocked and SIM-free – will get the update first (you can see Sony Ericsson’s demo of Gingerbread on the X10 after the cut), but only select operator-supplied X10 variants will get it after that.

T-Mobile hints that the Samsung Galaxy S 4G will be on sale for free come June 22
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S 4G
Besides the 4G moniker in its name, there isn’t much to visually differentiate the Samsung Galaxy S 4G with the Samsung Vibrant – and even worse, it’s rather difficult to side with it considering its $149.99 on-contract price right now. Naturally, for $50 more, you can seemingly pick up newer devices like the HTC Sensation 4G.

Sony Ericsson Duo to be first dual-core Xperia phone?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia duo
Sony Ericsson’s follow-up to the Xperia Arc has made its first appearance today on some Chinese forums. Though there aren’t many details on specifications, the Duo will likely be Sony Ericsson’s first dual-core handset, have the same three hardware keys on the front, and pack some familiar-looking home screen widgets. It’s probably safe to assume that the Duo will have an 8 megapixel camera as Sony Ericsson’s other high-end smartphones, but some comments further in the leak’s discussion thread are suggesting that there will be no flash.
