T-Mobile G2X now free with contract through July 28
The T-Mobile G2X hasn’t had the most issue-free existence, that’s for sure. The Android-powered smartphone which is T-Mobile’s version of the LG Optimus 2X was launched during CTIA, then pulled by T-Mobile because of some freezes and reboots that it was seeing alongside its internationally-launched sibling, the Optimus 2X. But now it’s back in stock, [...]
Verizon Motorola Xoom 4G LTE upgrade will happen in September
The Motorola Xoom was the first tablet to run Android Honeycomb. And it seems like it was a rushed product. That’s especially clear if you consider the whole 4G upgrade hubbub. When it was released in February, the Xoom only had 3G connectivity, no 4G LTE support (and even units being sold today are in [...]

HTC Status will bring some Facebook love to Telus this Friday
Released in the US by AT&T not long ago, the HTC Status is ready to hit the Canadian market, too. As previously mentioned, Telus will be the first (and maybe the only – we don’t know) Canadian carrier to sell the Status. And it looks like it will do it starting this Friday (July 29). [...]
HP TouchPad will be available in Australia on August 15
The HP TouchPad, the company’s first webOS-based tablet, is already available in North America and in some European markets. So it’s expected that it will slowly make its way to other territories. After all, one of HP’s key strengths is distribution, so it may as well sell the TouchPad in as many countries as it [...]

It seems like all carriers are attempting to bring Gingerbread to majority of their Android devices which did not ship with Google’s latest OS. AT&T announced yesterday that they would bring Gingerbread to all of their 2011 devices and the Samsung Captivate. T-Mobile has just notified users of the G2X that an OTA update containing Gingerbread will [...]

AT&T has decided to make its customers happy.

Well, AT&T has announced that its entire lineup of post-paid Android smartphones released this year [...]

Just as I assumed yesterday, that leaked Samsung QWERTY Android handset turned out to be AT&T’s version of the Galaxy S II. The handset – model number SGH-i927 – has just appeared in a set of hands-on photos, which confirm some f its features. The new smartphone obviously runs Android Gingerbread (2.3.4). It has an [...]

Wi-Fi-only Motorola Xoom now just £394.95 in the UK
Here’s a good offer if you’re after an Android-powered tablet in the UK. The Motorola Xoom has always been one of the more expensive devices among those that run Android Honeycomb. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that it was the first tablet to come with that particular version of Google’s mobile [...]
Australia: HTC Evo 3D headed to Telstra (in September) and Vodafone
If you live in Australia and are into 3D smartphone gimmickry, then soon you’ll have plenty of choice. It looks like all three major Australian carriers either have or will have a 3D-capable Android-powered smartphone in their respective portfolios. Optus already sells the LG Optimus 3D, the world’s first 3D smartphone, and today we got [...]
Dell Streak 10 Pro to be launched in China this week?
Back in June, Dell officially announced that China would be the first country to get the brand new Streak 10 Pro tablet, but it didn’t say when exactly this would happen. Now, if we’re to believe VR-Zone and its “reliable source”, it looks like the new Streak will be launched later this week in China. [...]
Samsung Galaxy S II and Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo now available at Telstra
Just as we expected them to, two Android-powered smartphones have become available at Telstra in Australia today. The Samsung Galaxy S II is obviously the higher-end of the pair, while the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo caters quite well to the midrange. The Samsung Galaxy S II has been available elsewhere in Australia for more than [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Android 2.3 Gingerbread update may be out this week
The Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 may be out as early as sometime this week. The Xperia X10 launched running Android 1.6 in what was a world filled wit 2.x devices even back then. Sony Ericsson tried to subsequently forget all about the X10, but a couple of consumer backlashes [...]

Rogers is getting ready to launch the Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G, which will be its brand-heavy version of the Infuse 4G first seen on AT&T in the USA. The 4.5-inch Android smartphone is due to launch tomorrow, on July 26. Last week we got word on the pricing of the superphone, and it was [...]
BlackBerry 9810 Torch 2 and Touch 9860 press photos show up
Although they’re still not officially announced, the BlackBerry 9810 Torch 2 and BlackBerry Touch 9860 have appeared lots of times until now in various leaked photos, and even videos. However, today is the first time we’re seeing press photos of both the 9810 and 9860. This, of course, means RIM will likely introduce the smartphones [...]

Now that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G LTE support is about to be launched by Verizon (this Thursday, on July 28, from what we heard most recently), the carrier is apparently busy cutting prices for the (aging) competition.

New Samsung Android phone with QWERTY keyboard headed to AT&T. Is it its Galaxy S II?
We all know that the Samsung Galaxy S II is going to be released by AT&T, possibly under the Samsung Attain name. What we don’t know is if the handset will resemble the standard Galaxy S II model a lot, or just a little (I’m sure you already noticed that AT&T’s Captivate looks quite different [...]
