HTC Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer all coming to U.S. Cellular
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsHTCWildfire SFlyer
U.S. Cellular has announced a trio of HTC devices to be launched next month. The Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer tablet will be sold for $199.99, $79.99, and $199.99 on contract after rebates, respectively.
The Hero S runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, has a 4-inch 960 x 540 touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera on the back, and 1.3 megapixel shooter on the front for video calling. The Wildfire S is a little more modest, clocking in with a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 5 megapixel camera, and 600 MHz processor, but at least it’s cheap. We’ve got a review over here if you want a closer look. Finally, the Flyer tablet measure 7 inches, but still doesn’t run Android Honeycomb, though there are unofficial ROMs av...

Motorola Droid 4 is codenamed Maserati, to feature LTE and full QWERTY keyboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 4
Most of you probably could already guess that a Motorola Droid 4 is coming sometime in the future, but little was known about what the actual device would be. Now, prototypes seem to be floating somewhere in Motorola land and a member of Howard’s forums said he held the device and here’s some of its highlights: the Droid 4 is codenamed Maserati, most probably comes with LTE support and a screen size of around 4 inches. While the user going by the provocative fonesex moniker didn’t know the exact screen measurements, he did say it was smaller than the 4.3 one on the newly leaked Motorola Droid RAZR.
Summing up his impressions, the user said: “Also just held another stunning phone. Droid 4(G),...

LG Brings Esteem To MetroPCS' 4G Lineup
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGEsteem
MetroPCS today announced the LG Esteem, the company's third 4G LTE phone. Nearly identical to the LG Revolution for Verizon, the Esteem differs only in the amount of internal memory (8 GB on the Esteem) and the frequency bands it supports for LTE, to match Metro's network. The phone is marketed as being media-centric. For an extra $10/month, consumers can choose unlimited music streaming from Rhapsody, or streaming video content from MetroSTUDIO. The phone sports Android 2.3, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 5 megapixel main camera, front camera, 4.3-inch display, TV output via HDMI (wired) and DLNA (wireless), and 8GB of built-in memory plus a memory card slot.

HTC Radar 4G visits FCC on its way to T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileRadar
HTC Radar 4G, which we see as a mass market Windows Phone 7.5 Mango device, is at the FCC where the government-paid engineers are testing its radiation levels, making sure it’s safe to be used by the general public. Once that process is completed, HTC’s baby will be heading to T-Mobile USA, which we think will sell it for about $100 on a two-year contract.
Specs wise, the Radar 4G comes with a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen, single-core 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera (for video calls), HSPA+ (4G) and Wi-Fi connectivity and 8GB of built-in storage. As I said, it’s a solid mid-range by today’s standards (hence mass-market appeal), leaving the premium high-end sp...

Three offers unlimited data for £3 supplement
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Three has announced plans to offer a £3 supplement to all its pay monthly smartphone customers giving them unlimited data to chomp through.
The new add-on comes as Three's research tells it that smartphone users' average data use is on the up and up.
Three's iPhone 4 customers were using an average of 488Mbps of data per month in February 2011; by August they were using nearly 1.2GB a month, which is well over what most networks class as 'unlimited data'.
Of course, it's worth noting that these results could be skewed by iPhone 4 users already on Three's all-you-can-eat data plans who are munching through data with gay abandon.
The whole internet for £3
But with data-hungry apps, streaming a...

Nokia N9 begins shipping at not inexpensive prices
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN9
After months of rumors and pre-orders, the Nokia N9 has finally begun shipping. Today, the Finnish manufacturer announced that its Meego-drenched handsets are now available for consumption, in both 16GB and 64GB variants. Of course, those of us in the US are out of luck, as are those in Germany and the UK (barring any back-door wizardry), but everyone else can grab a 16GB model for the not-so-small price of €480 (about $650), or the 64GB version for the similarly steep price of €560 (roughly $757). Pricing and availability, of course, will vary by region, but you can find more details in the full press release after the break, or at the source link, below.

LG Optimus S Gingerbread update halted by Sprint after issues reported
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGGoogleOptimus SAndroid 2.3
Sprint recently started rolling out the Android 2.3 update for the LG Optimus S. While those with the phone were excited about the update, there have been many complaints from those with the LG Optimus S about problems that have popped up with the device since the new software was downloaded. As a result, Sprint has put a halt to the update and is looking to send out a fixed version of the OS to those whose phone is no longer working correctly.
Some of the problems that LG Optimus S owners have had after updating to Android 2.3 include a failure of the phone's battery to recharge, the inability to connect to data, a message that the microSD card is un-mounted or removed and when connected to...

HTC Trophy also getting Mango beginning today
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCTrophy
We may be starting to sound like a broken record here, but the HTC Trophy for Verizon is the next on the list of Windows Phone devices to get the Mango update beginning today.
Microsoft has begun rolling the Mango update out to many other devices today such as the HTC Arrive for Sprint and the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile. Their instructions for download are all the same. This is not an over-the-air update that will be pushed directly to your device via the carrier. Verizon will send out a notification, just as T-Mobile and Sprint will be doing, when the Mango update is available for each and every HTC Trophy. As of now the Verizon website has this update listed as “Coming Soon.”

HTC EVO Design 4G press photo revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO Design 4G
The yet-to-be announced HTC EVO Design 4G has been called many other things, such as the Hero S and the Kingdom, but now we have an official press photo to go along with the name.
Given its EVO moniker, this smartphone is more than likely heading to Sprint, although another name change could change that. The specifications of this Android 2.3 powered smartphone suggest it is more of a mid-range handset, much like the HTC EVO Shift 4G was. It features a 4-inch qHD display, a single-core 1.2GHz processor and 768MB of RAM.
The EVO Design 4G has two cameras; a 5 megapixel camera is on the back while a front-facing 1.3 megapixel shooter is there to aid in your video chatting needs. It is still a ...
