Along with the pictures, a few details about [...]
Verizon roadmap update: Motorola Droid Pro, Moto Venus, Stingray tablet, HTC Merge etc
Remember that leaked Verizon roadmap we’ve reported about last month? There’s some new info let loose on the Web, which needs to be mentioned, because said roadmap now looks a bit different. First of all, it seems that Verizon has cancelled the launch of the BlackBerry 9570 Storm3 – that’s what Engadget (the source of [...]
Google Phone Gallery launched to showcase Android devices. New hyperlocal ad feature also launched
Google’s now defunct online phone shop – where the Nexus One used to be sold – has been relaunched as the “Google Phone Gallery”, a place where customers can check out various Android handsets, and even buy them (although not directly from Google, but from carriers and resellers). One of the first things you’ll probably [...]

Nokia’s Ovi Store reaches 2.3 million downloads per day, 70 developers have 1 million plus downloads
Nokia’s Ovi Store is growing. Slowly, perhaps even very slowly at times, but it hasn’t stopped growing. Back in April we heard that there were 1.6 million downloads from the Ovi Store each day. A few weeks ago, that number had grown to 2 million. And today it’s 2.3 million. So 2.3 million apps or other [...]
More pictures of the Windows Phone 7 HTC Mondrian surface. This time it’s called HTC Spark
The first Windows Phone 7 devices will hit the market soon. Real soon. That much is obvious from the recent wave of leaks concerning new phones that will be running Microsoft’s latest mobile operating system. Remember the HTC Mondrian? Perhaps from the leaked press photos of it from just a few hours ago? If you [...]
Verizon Samsung Continuum leaks, has two displays
We first heard of the Samsung Continuum about a month ago, when a Verizon roadmap leak brought it into the light. Back then, it was rumored to be a midrange Android smartphone that would launch at some point in October and fit nicely in Verizon’s lineup in between the Fascinate and the Gem. Today we [...]

That’s what two leaked RadioShack flyers [...]
Samsung runs out of AMOLEDs, halts Galaxy S and Wave production? All Super AMOLED displays bought by Apple?
We’ve got some interesting info coming out of Russia today, from Mobile-review’s Eldar Murtazin. According to him (see these Tweets: 1, 2, 3), the Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Wave S8500 aren’t in production anymore, because Samsung hasn’t got enough AMOLED displays. Reportedly, the Wave should be replaced with a new model that features a [...]
More Android for Sprint: Samsung Transform (keyboardless Galaxy S?) and Kyocera Zio
Sprint currently sells five Android smartphones – including the HTC Evo 4G and the Samsung Epic 4G – but it’s never enough when you’ve got about 48 million customers to keep happy, is it? That’s why two new Android handsets seem to be on their way to Sprint. The first one is the Samsung Transform [...]
Samsung Omnia 7 to be among the first available WP7 handsets?
Almost all Samsung Omnia phones launched until now are Windows Mobile-based (the only exception is the Omnia HD i8910, which runs Symbian). So it should come as no surprise the fact that Samsung is apparently readying an Omnia with Windows Phone 7 on-board. According to Thomas Husson (who writes for Forbes), the Samsung Omnia 7 [...]

Not long after we’ve seen the HTC Mondrian in those two AT&T commercials, we now get the chance to see it in clear, press photos.

T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant GPS issue fixed, Sprint Samsung Epic 4G upload speed to be fixed tomorrow
Time for some updates for the Samsung Galaxy S family in the US. Software updates, that is. See, there’s probably no one who can tell you that the four different Galaxy S versions that Samsung has launched across the four main US carriers were the most bug-free devices of all time when they shipped. There [...]

Available since last month both in the US (via T–Mobile) and Canada (via Telus), the Motorola Charm may be launched in India, too.

Canada: Acer Liquid E is now also available from Fido
The Acer Liquid E is basically the original Acer Liquid with Android 2.1 thrown in for good measure, as opposed to the original’s ancient 1.6 version of the mobile OS.
