Is this square Motowhat for real?

Is this square Motowhat for real? I'm not sure what to think about this photo. It came to me mysteriously with a tip that it's supposed to be launched in May. My first impression is that it looks way too banged up to be some hot new device. Then again, my source says his buddy's dad works for Motorola and let his son take the phone to school, who, in turn, lent the phone to my source to be used as a... Read more »

HTC Incredible manual leaked

HTC Incredible manual leaked Rob Jackson of Phandroid has his virtual hands on a virtual manual and it covers what is probably the second most hyped phone 'round the Android bend, the Incredible. Not only has he covered the highlights, he's made the entire 200 pages available for download. I'm also linking to a mirror because the link at the original androidforums thread isn't working for...

Supersonic video shot by spy

Supersonic video shot by spy People have been clamoring for more information on HTC's planned Androids for 2010 ever since the namedropping and roadmap leak of December. From countless mentions and burry shots to (likely phony) screengrabs, the dominant Android OEM is consistently the focus of some buzz or leak. Maybe a few folks have been repremanded or lost their jobs as of late, because this... Read more »

HTC Incredible poses for glamor shots Here we go again, another photoshoot of the upcoming HTC Incredible, aimed to release on Verizon Wireless later this year. We'll keep this one brief, as we figure by now you've got the important stuff memorized, right? All right, all right, we'll go over it one more time: 3.7-inch WVGA, AMOLED display; 512MB ROM/256MB RAM; 5MP camera with dual-LED flash; 2.1 with... Read more »

New Verizon Wireless inventory screenshot shows HTC Incredible You remember what the HTC Incredible is, right? We know, we know, there's been a few other phones announced between then and now, but hey, you can't pass up another Sense UI device running Android 2.1. Right? Right. So, let's get into the meat and bones of this, shall we? According to this recent screen grab of Verizon Wireless' inventory system, you can clearly see... Read more »

E100 or K1, another Acer Android sees the light

E100 or K1, another Acer Android sees the light The Bluetooth SIG leaked little more than an image of Acer's Android, the E110, today but it was enough to get people talking. Android 2.0 is expected, 3G is a certainty, and pretty much everything else is up in the air (see above link for frequency support). People are speculating as to whether that big round thing at the bottom is a D-pad or optical trackpad. I... Read more »

Vid: Espresso ROM running on GSM Hero

Vid: Espresso ROM running on GSM Hero At the beginning of the month, an Android hacker discovered a load of HTC codenames buried in a ROM. And though Espresso didn't turn up in the following week's leak - an HTC roadmap replete with device photos - we did get a look at the handset's profile. Espresso is the Sense-equipped follow-up to HTC's ground-breaking Hero. This time around, it will have a... Read more »

HTC’s plans for 2010: spotlight on Bravo

HTC’s plans for 2010: spotlight on Bravo If the code names alone of future HTC devices weren't enough to make you drool in anticipation for the near future, maybe these pictures will. Well, at least one of them should. What we have here is a leak of images and likely the final product names (for some markets) of a series of Android devices from HTC. There were some WinMo devices included in the original... Read more »

HTC Android secrets revealed: Legend, Supersonic, Huangshan?

HTC Android secrets revealed: Legend, Supersonic, Huangshan? Every once in a while, someone sends me a leak that sounds pretty credible. I can't say for sure if this information is or is not embedded in an HTC ROM, as reported, but it was strange to receive it as I downloaded the Hero 2.1 ROM for use on my G1. That ROM didn't work out for me. I got stuck in a boot-loop and will try again later. Still, having what could be... Read more »

Reports of a chinless Hero?

Reports of a chinless Hero? I'm not sure what to think of this one. Several blogs are posting purported leak shots of Sprint's customized Hero. And the number one aesthetic complaint the masses were anything but shy about expressing seems to have been... remedied. I personally like the chin. When Eric Lin said at the Hero launch that a distinct version would be coming to the US, I figured he... Read more »
