HTC details Android 4.0 ICS upgrade for 8 smartphones

Many have wondered what HTC's plans are when it comes to upgrading its existing Android smartphones to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, as the manufacturer has said that it was still evaluating the new operating system and how it fits with HTC's custom Sense interface that it likes to use. Now, those questions have found answers, as HTC has announced a list of eight smartphones that will get Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades in 2012.
The company says that in addition to the just-released HTC Vivid, which is apparently ready for Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, and HTC Amaze 4G are all planned to get...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCGalaxy S II SkyrocketVivid
AT&T’s first two 4G LTE-enabled smartphones are now available for purchase, and subscribers looking to be among the first to own these powerful new Android devices are in for a pleasant surprise. Announced just last week, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and HTC Vivid feature Google’s Android Gingerbread OS and specs that place them on par with most modern high-end handsets. They were also announced with high-end price points; the Vivid was unveiled at $199.99 and the Skyrocket was given a $249.99 price tag. Both phones are now on sale as promised — they became available a day early on Saturday, in fact — but each smartphone is priced $100 lower than expected on AT&T’s website. Read on for ...

WPCentral managed to collect together 3 of the new Windows Phone 7.5 offerings coming to USA this quarter.
In the above video they compare the newly releases Samsung Focus S with the HTC Titan, which will soon arrive on AT&T and the HTC Radar, already available on T-Mobile USA.

The Samsung Focus S is a new Windows Phone with a 4.3” S-AMOLED Plus screen, HSPA+ data speeds, and a 1.4 GHz single-core processor. The phone has an 8-megapixel rear camera, a front-facin...

HTC Vivid and Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket go on sale, lead AT&T's march on LTE
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCAT&TGalaxy S IIVivid
You didn't expect Ma Bell to open its first LTE markets without tossing in a few 4G friendly toys, did you? Of course not, we told you as much last week -- but today things get official: The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and HTC Vivid (formerly known as the Holiday) are ready to take Ma Bell's new LTE nodes for a spin. Not much has changed since the last time we saw these phones -- the Skyrocket still knocks the Galaxy S II's screen size and processor speed up a notch (a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus Display and 1.5GHz CPU, for those of you keeping track), and the Vivid still has a 4.5-inch qHD display, 1080p HD video recording via an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2GHz CPU. What's new? AT&T is curren...

HTC announces specifics on Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades, includes Rezound
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleRezoundAndroid 4.0
It's been a little over two weeks since Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich along with its first ambassador, the Galaxy Nexus. Since then, a few manufacturers have shared their intent to bring Android 4.0 to specific devices. HTC was initially rather vague about its upgrade plans -- no doubt faced with the daunting task of keeping Sense relevant in light of ICS' vast design improvements -- but tonight the Taiwanese giant issued an official statement on Facebook outlining specifics on its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades. Basically, it looks like most (if not all) of HTC's high-end phones since the introduction of the Sensation will be getting a taste of Google's latest tasty treat early next year,...

UK: Three, Vodafone now offer HTC Sensation XL
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSensation XL
HTC Sensation XL, the Taiwanese company’s biggest Android smartphone announced to date, is now available at British operators Three and Vodafone. Three is offering the device for free to anyone willing to put his or her signature on a two-year contract with at least 34 GBP/month plan. That money gets you 500 minutes, 5,000 messages and 1GB of mobile data every month.
As for Vodafone, it offers the Sensation XL for free on plans starting at 41 GBP per month that include 1,200 minutes, unlimited texts and 750MB of monthly data.
Now this would all be cool if HTC’s big baby had a dual-core processor and unfortunately it doesn’t. In that sense I’m not sure why the Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sens...

AT&T HTC Titan to have Beats Audio
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCBeatsTitan
We are expecting a BIG announcement on the 7th in New York, with the massive HTC Titan for AT&T being the front-runner when it comes to devices expected to be launched.
Now a tweet from HTC’s USA twitter account featuring the #HTCBeats tag not only confirms that HTC will be involved, but strongly suggests the HTC Titan, already announced for AT&T, will feature Beats Audio.
While we know Beats Audio is mostly just a gimmick, its still good to see the Titan getting the full range of HTC’s available services, rather than inexplicably being a second class citizen.

HTC Flyer touches down at T-Mobile, Scribe pen not included
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTCT-MobileFlyer
US Cellular's got one and so does Sprint (albeit under a re-branded banner). So, where's the Magenta-friendly HTC Flyer we saw creep up at the FCC this June? Well, it appears T-Mobile's been offering it for some time to business customers only, but that exclusivity's come to a close. The 7-inch Gingerbread slate with AWS bands is curiously absent from the operator's own online site, but you can still snag it from HTC for $299 with a new mobile broadband plan or $454 with a contract extension. Sadly, neither party's tossing in the HTC Scribe pen gratis, so you'll have to make due with your own digits for navigating or just pick it up separately. If this is the Sense-laden variant you've been ...

T-Mobile HTC Radar for $49 from Wirefly

If you’re thinking about buying the HTC Radar from T-Mobile today, you might want to check the internet for some better prices first.
Wirefly.com has the HTC Radar for only $49.99 with a new or renewed 2-year contract from T-Mobile, and that includes free shipping!
Through T-Mobile, you would pay $149.99 with a 2-year contract, and then have to hassle with a $50 mail-in rebate which only brings the price down to $99.99. Frankly, $49.99 is the most I would pay for a phone with only 8 GB of storage space.

Like UnlikeFiled in: HTC
It's been another stellar quarter for the folks over at HTC. According to the company's Q3 earnings report, released today, net income rose to NT$18.68 billion (about $624.6 million) this quarter -- a 68 percent increase over Q3 2010 and a seven percent bump over last quarter, when HTC reported record profits.

Verizon runs HTC Rezound ads early, confirms Beats audio
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessRezound
Verizon on Sunday spoiled HTC's November 3 event by posting ads for the Rezound. While they don't show more than a product shot, they do confirm the Beats Audio connection, including the signature red-corded headphones and red light-up navigation keys. The ads hint the phone might be ready to go soon after the event.
The Rezound, sometimes known as the Vigor, is expected to be HTC's most advanced US phone. It will be a slight spin on the Raider, already available in Canada, and revolve around a very sharp 4.5-inch, 720x1280 screen. A dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor and LTE-based 4G will also put it at the high end, although Verizon's model will logically use CDMA for voice instead of t...

Walmart makes boo boo by showing HTC Hero instead of HTC EVO Design 4G in flyer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCHeroEVO Design 4G
You might recall the HTC Hero that was released by Sprint back in October 2009, just a few days before the Motorola DROID started Androidmania. The Hero was evolving from the T-Mobile G1 and certainly looks nothing like HTC's current lineup of Android handsets. That is why it seems strange that whomever was checking the copy for Walmart's latest circular let a picture of the 2 year old phone sneak in above copy for the brand new HTC EVO Design 4G.
The HTC Hero variant that landed on Sprint in October 2009 introduced Sense UI to the U.S. and had a elongated look with a trackball on the bottom of the phone. Of course, the HTC EVO Design 4G does not have the trackball and is currently available...
