HTC Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G for T-Mobile documentation confirming Ice Cream Sandwich update
We have known that the Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G would be receiving Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for a little while now, but it looks like T-Mobile wants to keep the momentum (and attention) on the high-end devices all the way up until the software update commences. We're looking at the support forum postings for both devices, above and below, and both of them... Read more » Samsung adds blink-to-unlock feature in Face Unlock, along with other features
One of the most talked about features of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, was the intriguing new way to unlock your device.

The Motorola DROID Bionic was a remarkably hyped piece of equipment last year.

June of 2010. That was a good month for both HTC and Sprint, as it was when the original EVO 4G was launched. At the time, it was a superphone, bringing specs to the tablet that no other phone could beat. 4.3-inch display, cutting edge processor, and the first phone to have 4G made it a drool-worthy device. The EVO was the phone to have, and remained that way for... Read more » HTC One X now available for pre-order in Canada, LTE version announced by Rogers
