Introduction: HTC's Status is "the Facebook phone," previously known as the ChaCha. It was released in America by AT&T on July 17th for $399.99 outright and $49.99 on a two-year contract with a minimum data feature of $15. The contract price and lowered data requirement make the Status a bargain entry for a new Android phone, and happens to ship with... Read more

Not everyone needs a big, expensive, all-touch cell phone, not to mention the often hefty monthly carrier plans that go along with them. And at $49.99 on contract with a $15 minimum monthly data plan, HTC's Android 2.3.3-equipped Status--a.k.a. ChaCha--is a neat little social/messaging gadget for those who like technology but don't want to make it the... Read more

Yesterday, we told you about the new Sense UI that HTC was getting ready to unveil. And it looks like the company was ready to unveil the new software, along with a highly talked-about device. The HTC Sensation, previously known as the HTC Pyramid, is finally really real, and the specifications were definitely worth the wait. Featuring a 1.2GHz dual-core... Read more

If a new report is true, then it looks like that's exactly what the manufacturer is doing. AllThingsD is reporting that HTC plans on adding a few tweaks to the Sense lock screen. Namely, they want to make it easier... Read more

This has certainly been a long time coming, and now it's finally here: the HTC Merge has been officially announced. According to the press release (which lines up with what we've known for awhile now), the HTC Merge is a CDMA based QWERTY packin' world-phone and comes complete with Sense UI atop Android 2.2, a 5 megapixel camera that features 720p...

We've known about Thunderbolt for some time and recently some very will timed and well shot photos boosted the hype surrounding this HTC LTE device in the days leading up to CES. But now it's official: HTC's Sense-rocking LTE gadget will be launched on Verion...sometime. No pricing or... Read more
