EDIT: This video is by LincKraker. I posted earlier today about a cooked ROM for hacked Moments that was rocking 2.1. I still can’t fully endorse it because I don’t have a Moment on hand, but here’s a video of a phone that was hacked using the process followed in that same thread. As always, embarking on this journey is done at your own risk, but I… Read more
I realize that dabbling with cooked ROMs is an at-your-own-risk type of business, but there are a few big names out there that we all know we can trust – Cyanogen, MoDaCo, a bunch of other folks who post over at xda-developers… Flashing ROMs released by these cats is a pretty safe endeavor.

We recently learned that HTC would be skipping the 1.6 update for European Hero owners; bringing them straight from 1.5 to 2.0. Now, Gearlog reports that Sprint is working on upgrades for the HTC Hero and Samsung moment, among some other cool things that may or may not include an Android with a built-in Mi-Fi-esque router. There’s no word on a time… Read more
Did I really just say that? Yes, yes I did. I’ve only got this particular device for a day or two, then it’s off to Kravitz in San Francisco for his reviews, dogfights, and whatever else he has in mind. I think another one might be headed my way though, so feel free to ask questions and tell me what you’d like to see on video. You can get me on Twitter… Read more
