Samsung Galaxy S II is the king of Android sales in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroidGalaxy S II
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when you consider the fact that Samsung has moved more than 10 million Galaxy S II units worldwide, but the Galaxy S II is the top selling Android smartphone in the UK.
The Galaxy S II is the best-selling smartphone ever produced by Samsung. With its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor and an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities what’s not to love?
There was one point in September, the third week of the month, where the Galaxy S II was purchased with a contract more than any other Android manufacturer in the entire country. That is domination when you consider the competition that Samsung is con...

HTC Ultimate is none other than Brazil's version of the HTC Titan
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCTitan
When you hear about a phone that has the word ‘ultimate’ in its name, our natural inclination is to expect something so unique and larger than life that we’re instantly captivated by it. Interestingly enough, the so-called HTC Ultimate is actually a smartphone that we’ve gotten acquainted with already.
Specifically, the HTC Ultimate is none other than Brazil’s version of the recent HTC Titan – the lovable and massive Windows Phone Mango device that’s been making the rounds of late. Not surprisingly, the information actually comes from Brazil’s version of the FCC; the Brazilian ANATEL
Donning the same looking metallic design of the Titan, everything on the outside appears to be the same, but ...

Steve Jobs “expected” to appear at the iPhone unveiling tomorrow
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Steven Paul Jobs, named CEO of the decade by MarketWatch, might have resigned as a chief executive from Apple, but he remains a chairman and is still expected to appear at the iPhone unveiling tomorrow, alongside current man in charge Tim Cook.
Reports about Jobs “expected” to appear on stage first surfaced on Reuters today, but at the same time the same report precautions that even if the iconic CEO doesn’t show up, it won’t be a huge disappointment.
"Investors would like to see Steve Jobs to confirm that he is still involved, but we have dealt with the fact that he's not going to be as involved," Capitol Advisors Growth Fund manager Channing Smith said. "We'd love to see an appearance but...

HTC Sensation 4G hits Cincinnati Bell
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation 4G
Good news for customers of Cincinnati Bell as the Android-powered HTC Sensation 4G has arrived on the network and can be had for $249.99 with a two-year agreement after a mail-in-rebate.
The Sensation 4G will be able to reap the benefits of the HSPA+ network that Cincinnati Bell launched in their home network in July. It will also be capable of roaming off of other carriers towers so fortunately you will not be limited to Cincinnati if you want to enjoy the wonders of 4G speeds.
The Sensation 4G is nothing short of its name and is a popular smartphone that is currently offered by T-Mobile. The main attraction of the handset is of course its Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. It also...

LG Optimus 3D gets its 3D game converter via software update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus 3D
The 3D game converter that LG announced would be coming to the Optimus 3D smartphone is now being pushed to the device via a software update. If you remember from August when the feature was announced, the 3D game converter will allow users to convert 2D games into 3D on-the-fly on their 3D-enabled smartphones.
Nearly any game that uses OpenGL graphics can be converted from 2D into 3D using the software, but LG is compiling a list of officially supported titles. Games that are not on LG's supported list can be forced into 3D mode, but the manufacturer does not guarantee that the conversion will work.
The software update for the Optimus 3D does not include Android 2.3 Gingerbread unfortunatel...

Apple iPhone 5 preview: What to expect
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple is all set to unveil the next generation iPhone or two tomorrow and we thought we’d comb through the rumors and let you know what to expect. More than any other company, Apple is good at keeping secrets, so while some elements have leaked out, I’m sure there will be a few surprises.
Apple CEO Tim Cook should be the one to unveil the iPhone 5 now that Steve Jobs has stepped down but Jobs may make a special appearance. Cook did introduce the Verizon iPhone 4 and Apple may want to make this event about him and the iPhone 5. We’re guessing it’s going to be just the iPhone 5, as the invitation has a “1″ next to the phone icon but rumors still persist about a lower-cost iPhone, maybe called ...

Xperia Ray makes US debut, goes unlocked for $425
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia ray
Giving you a new opportunity to tell your favorite carrier exactly where it can stick that nasty two-year agreement, the unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray has made its official debut in the United States. In partnership with NewEgg, the handset carries an MSRP of $425 (although it currently sells for $380), where shoppers may choose between gold, black, white and pink varieties. As carrier compatibility goes, the phone features quad-band GSM support, along with 3G capability over the 2100 / 1900 / 850MHz airwaves, which makes it best suited for AT&T in the US, or Bell, Rogers and Telus up north. The Xperia Ray packs an MSM8255 SoC -- which features a 1GHz CPU and an Adreno 205 GPU -- along w...

Verizon's Samsung Stratosphere specs unveiled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessStratosphere
Remember the Samsung Stratosphere, one of those devices we’ve seen on Verizon’s leaked roadmap? Well we now have additional details to report about it, compliments of DroidLife which managed to get its hands on two charts comparing Samsung’s baby with some other smartphones.
But first, let’s talk about the specs. The Stratosphere is a device that we would most easily describe as Verizon’s version of Sprint’s Epic 4G. It’s pretty much the original Samsung Galaxy S under the hood, adding the ever-useful physical QWERTY keyboard to the mix. In that sense, it comes with a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, single-core 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing ...

HTC confirms security hole, says patch is incoming
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
HTC held true to its promise to look into the security vulnerability that surfaced over the weekend, an apparent glitch that allows any app requesting internet access to take a peek at a user account information, GPS location, system logs, and other potentially private data. While HTC assured us that user data isn't at risk of being harmed by its own software, a third party malware app could exploit the security flaw and cause some trouble. The outfit is already building a patch, and will ship it out in an over the air update after a short testing period with its carrier partners. Until then? HTC recommends steering clear of apps from publishers you don't trust. Hit the break to see the offi...

iPhone 4S May Be a Significant Upgrade to the Current iPhone 4
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Word is that two iPhone models are going to be announced during Apple’s event tomorrow: a brand new iPhone 5, and an iPhone 4S, which was suspected to be a slightly upgraded version of the current iPhone 4. However, it might be receiving a bigger dose of treatment than just minor bumps in specs.
BGR seems to believe that the coming iPhone 4S “ is going to be a pretty substantial bump as opposed to just an incremental update, as many are speculating.” While BGR doesn’t get into specifics, or tell us things we didn’t already know, it sounds like we’re in for more than what we’ve been expecting:

Samsung Galaxy S II now available at AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II AT&T
Now available online and in AT&T's stores (in the morning, that is), is the carrier's version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Unlike the Sprint and T-Mobile versions, both of which are equipped with a 4.52 Super AMOLED display, the AT&T variant has a smaller 4.3 inch screen. Under the hood of this unit is the dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor also found in the Sprint model. When we put this handset through its paces, it scored a mind-numbing 3,733 on the Quadrant Benchmark test. The phone is available for a price of $199.99 after a signed 2-year contract.

Sony Ericsson lends hand to FreeXperia devs, shows love for CyanogenMod 7.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony Ericsson
Turns out, Sony Ericsson is really coming around to the understanding that Android phones are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. After taking notice of the FreeXperia team's tireless efforts to bring CyanogenMod 7.1 to certain SE devices, the company is now "pulling a Samsung" by lending its support to the cause. The firm has provided the group with approximately 20 phones, along with debugged and rebuilt camera library binaries to ensure a proper user experience. Not stopping there, Sony Ericsson hopes to make these bits available to all developers under a special EULA in the near future. Of course, the company continues to remind its users that it doesn't specifically condone unlocking t...

Walmart undercuts Amazon, charges $148.88 for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S II
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II AT&T
In the old days, there used to be competition among brick and mortar stores like Macy's, Gimbels, Sears and E.J. Korvette's. Now, there is extremely fierce battles between discount stores like Walmart and online retailers like Amazon. Of course, back in the days of Korvette's, a smartphone would have been considered magic. A device that fits in the palm of your hand that could make phone calls would have seemed hard enough to believe, but throw in all the media content and data that today's smartphones bring to you, and the speeds at which this information becomes available in the palm of your hand, and it all would seem like science fiction.
