The unlocked versions are enjoying it already and carriers are slowly releasing their modified versions of the Gingerbread update for the ancient Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.  First off the pad is the Rogers’ version of the handset which has now been deemed fit for the update and the same was announced by SE Canada on Twitter. The update can be flashed on to the device using the PC Companion tool which can be obtained here.  We are not sure if the update can also be downloaded over the air, but we’ll let you know if that’s possible.  By the way, […]

Samsung has put up a support page for a device called the GT-I9250, which has long been rumored to be the Nexus Prime’s model number.  Take this with the recent WiFi certification for a handset of the same number, and things seems to be gearing up towards a release just in time for the holiday season.  According to various sources, Verizon is already prepping a Prime variant, which will be called the Droid Prime (model: SCH-i515) – the carrier will be the first to play host to an ICS handset and most probably, the first version of the Nexus Prime. 

After months of uncertainty and failed takeoffs, the Thrill 4G 3D smartphone (Optimus 3D for the rest of the world) for AT&T will finally see the light of day this September 4.  At just $99, the price sounds reasonable for a device that does 3D without glasses and can cruise AT&T’s 4G waves with ease. Other specs do fall short compared to recent entrants like the Sensation 4G or the sought-after Galaxy S II – you’ll get a 1GHz processor coupled with 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of built-in storage space which can be taken up to 32GB using its

The US Cellular variant of the original Galaxy S, the Mesmerize, is now taking the jump directly to Gingerbread 2.3.4, which should be great news for the carrier’s patrons as this will allow them to start video chatting on GTalk, the most popular feature of the 2.3.4.  Other notable improvements include: Improved power management Improved User Interface Better app control One-touch word selection and copy/paste The update can be downloaded from Samsung here and also instructions for a snag-free install.

With the recent spate of Galaxy phones and the updated Galaxy S II announcement, we are starting to think Sammy hearts IFA too much.  Continuing on with the rehaul of older devices, the company has announced that the original Galaxy Tab, the one with the 8.9 inch display, will also be seeing some changes for the better. The tablet will get a 1.5GHz dual-core processor like the S2 and will be running Honeycomb 3.2 OS whenever it is launched – the device will also come with LTE speeds, so we’ll be getting a faster device equipped with faster download rates. 

With Verizon dropping the device in light of Samsung losing out to Apple recently on the lawsuit filed by the latter company, it remains to be seen if the Galaxy S II will ever cross over to the US border.  But this latest announcement from Samsung leads us to believe that the company is still hoping to do so, and to keep things interesting, will be adding in a few more improvements to an already stellar device, if SammyHub is to be believed. The latest version, dubbed the Galaxy S II LTE, will feature both GSM and WCDMA network support

The recently pictured HTC Bliss is the only confirmed Android device to get the Sense 3.5 UI, but according to XDA.cn, the customization may not be limited to this device or just future handsets/tablets.  According to the source, Sense 3.5 will become available for older devices too, which will take the hassle away of waiting for an unofficial ROM with the revamped UI – this is in contrast to Sense 3.0 which was exclusively for devices like the Sensation and others with dual-core processors. As you can see from the pictures, HTC has retained the ring unlocking system which made

With the Nexus S not really meeting fans’ expectations, a lot is riding on the next version of the device, the rumored Samsung Nexus Prime.  The device, under the model name GT-I9250, was recently found getting its WiFi certification, which puts it a little closer to a release, most probably for the Christmas season or some time before that. The rumored specs sure are awesome, with a 4.5 or 4.65 inch 1280×720 HD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and Ice-Cream Sandwich OS among other juicy features – we hope that every one of those rumors turn out to be true

The Motorola Droid 3 is now the member of an elite club, called “The Rooted.”  The two-month-old device has been liberated from Moto’s clutches to do as you will, ranging from cooking up a custom ROM to getting complete control on your device via Superuser access.  An XDA Forum member, djrbliss, made headway towards achieving this initially, while Framework43 and psouza4 later packaged into a nice little Windows app to do it the easy way via using 1-Click Easy Root. Setting your Droid 3 free is actually as easy as 1-2-3! Make sure you have Motorola drivers installed – LINK

Obviously a slightly improved version of the Xperia Neo, Sony Ericsson has today announced the Xperia Neo V, which comes with Android 2.3.4 onboard.  While the Gingerbread OS may not be big news for Android phones in general, it is significant for SE devices, as the company has announced that it will be upgrading all Android devices released this year to 2.3.4, which is sure to delight many of our readers with Xperia phones. Coming back to the Xperia Neo V, the device will come with a 3.7 inch touchscreen display made using Reality and BRAVIA technologies, a 5MP rear

When we last heard about the Bliss, all we had an idea of what the device might actually look like, but thanks to PocketNow and xda.cn, we have a live picture to look up on.  The device as you can see from the picture above, looks like any other Android device but with a lot more bezel than usual and seems to be clad in a silver cover with a black tint around the unit’s display – needs more of a woman’s touch if it is aimed at women, don’t you think? Anyways, rumors on the specs still remain the

Bumping the version number up to 4.53.651.1, this update will bring fixes quite a few known bugs on Sprint’s yearling, the HTC Evo 4G.  Here’s a quick look at the changes that will matter most for you guys: Enhancements/Fixes: Integrated voice recognition accuracy with voice search and voice-to-text Image size issue with contact transfer over bluetooth Images cut off in Picasa Group contacts not in alphabetical order Out of memory, Unable to send SMS The update is currently rolling out and if you don’t get the notification right off, not to worry as Sprint says it will take one to

Tired of the monotone blacks that make up a big chunk of droids available? If so, take a look at this version of Sprint’s Evo 3D then, which is scheduled to appear in Radioshack’s warehouses come September 9th.  The 3D Android phone will only be changing its garb color, so if you are expecting any other enhancements to its already awesome specs, you will be sadly disappointed. For price, we could expect it to be below $200 but that sounds right given the device’s glasses-free 4.3-inch qHD display, tablet-worthy 1.2GHz dual-core processor, dual 5MP cameras to create a small stir
