Bell’s white Samsung Galaxy S II will be available on October 7
Earlier this month, we told you that in Canada, Bell was getting ready to sell the white version of the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Sony Tablet S pre-orders start in Australia for $579, shipping on October 21
At the beginning of this month, pre-orders started in the UK for Sony’s upcoming Android-powered device, the Tablet S.

Back in August, Sony Ericsson announced the Xperia Neo V, which is basically just an Xperia Neo, albeit with a lower-spec camera and a different paint job. The Xperia Neo V has a 5 MP camera, as opposed to the original Neo’s 8 MP unit. Presumably, this means that the Xperia Neo V will appeal [...]
7-inch Huawei Honeycomb tablet with 4G support headed to T-Mobile
Back in June, Huawei announced what was then the world’s first tablet to run Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Although we’ve yet to see it launched anywhere yet, and Android 3.2 is a common sight on other tablets right now, so that momentum was certainly lost. Not that the MediaPad isn’t an interesting device. And now it [...]

After almost five months since its official introduction to the world, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is now being sold by Mobilicity too.

Toshiba announced its newest Android-powered tablet yesterday. The 7-inch Thrive is basically just a smaller version of the company’s 10-inch offering which bears the same name, as most of the specs (aside from the screen size, naturally) have remained the same.

Sprint outs promo video for the LG Marquee ahead of its release this Sunday
A couple of weeks ago, Sprint officially announced its very own version of LG’s Optimus Black smartphone. This device’s main selling points are its sleek looks, its thinness, and its bright display.

Orange to launch the Sharp Aquos SH80F 3D Android smartphone next month
Phones made and released in Japan usually stay there, and are almost never introduced in other countries.

Already available in Japan via NTT docomo as the AQUOS PHONE SH-12C (pictured below), the [...]
