How To’s

So BoyGeniusReport has gotten some live pictures of the new Motorola Calgary from Verizon. It is an Android device that also has MotoBlur on it (like the CLIQ for T-Mobile). Some of it’s features include: 3MP Camera 3.5mm Headphone Jack Slide out QWERTY Keyboard GPS Digital Compass WiFi Check out the pics, what do you think? Source

Ok so a ninja brought us some very interesting photos. They show us an HTC phone (you can see the HTC logo at the top) with a larger screen and high resolution (you can tell by the size of the Android in the center) running Android on it… Could this be the HTC Dragon we have heard about? The Dragon I believe will be the Android equivalent of the Touch HD2 (same hardware mostly and just Android instead of Windows Mobile). You can also see the trackball at the bottom of the phone which could be easily added by HTC to

So here is a leaked live shot of the new Sony X3 we mentioned a while back. Not much to see here honestly, but I’m excited because after live shots usually comes the device launch not TOO long after 🙂 I also noticed that there is no Sony UI that we say before on the internet, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be there on the final model…

So over at BoyGeniusReport seems to have gotten a very early Xmas present for Android users. Android 2.0 has the following upgrades (and it’s a lot): Combined Inbox Exchange Support New Google Maps w/ Layers (Wikipedia etc.) New browser (no Flash 10, and no multitouch yet, but still an improved browser) YouTube Widget Haptic Feedback Text-to-Speech Car Home Application (to make it easier/safer to use your phone while driving) Redone Contacts (new submenu when you tap on a contact’s image) They have tons of screenshots and info on Android 2.0. I think it best for you to just go over

So ever wish there was one more device you could cram into a cell phone? Well how about your TV? The ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) just approved Mobile DTV broadcast standard. This means that manufacturer’s can start creating Mobile DTV receivers (since there is a standard and they know that their device will be able to pick up the signals being broadcast correctly). Samsung has also announced along side the ATSC’s standard, their new DTV receiver (smart marketing there, Sammy). Devices with these receivers will be able to watch local programming being broadcast for free. Same way your old

So someone who was lucky enough to get a N900 from 2009 Maemo Summit in Amsterdam came back to the States with it and decided to do a little speed test to see how the 1700mhz T-Mobile 3G frequency is used on the little bugger. Here were his results: So 2260 kbps down and 340kbps up. That’s pretty damn quick (especially considering T-Mobile’s current 3G data cap is only 3200 mbps, that means that it is getting really close to that cap). To put that in perspective, iPhone 3GS which can use AT&T’s new 7200 kbps 3G data, only gets

Ok, just to make this a little easier for everyone I figured I would do a video of how to root a stock Donut phone from beginning to end (all the steps are already on the site but I figured I would put them together in one post to make life easy). I. Get Back to Cupcake G1 Unroot Process myTouch Unroot Process Magic Unroot Process Most of the procedures entail either putting the IMG.nbh file on the sd card and booting into bootloader and flashing it OR connecting the phone via HTC Sync to the computer and running an

The new Acer Liquid, a new Android device, was reveled today unofficially byAcer.  Although they did not release any actual pictures of the device they did release a bunch of specs: 1GHz Snapdragon Processor Android 1.6 with a custom Acer UI (no clue what that looks like yet) 3.5″ WVGA (800×480) Capacitive Screen WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and 3G (no clue what frequencies yet though) 5MP Camera FM Radio MicroSD Slot No word yet if any US carriers will pick it up or what 3G frequencies it will have, we will keep you informed 🙂 Anyone Android users drooling?

That is the new rumor. Apparently, an HTC Device with a Snapdragon 1GHz processor that looks an awful lot like the HTC Touch HD2 has shown up on some promotional material (seen above). Now there is no mention of Windows Mobile on the sheet so technically this could also be the HTC Dragon (Android HD2) that has been rumored as well to come out soon. But I think considering that HTC even said that the HD2 will be coming to the US in early 2010 that this fits in as what they could be referring to. Windows Mobile Users Rejoice!

So just a rumor floating around, but it seems that someone at Samsung has let slip that they don’t believe Eclair, which is Android 2.0, will be coming out until the second quarter of 2010 (that means April through June in case anyone is confused). Considering that we don’t even know any rumors of what new features are coming in Eclair, I guess we can wait lol Anyone know of any rumors about Eclair and what it might mean for Android please share.

So we’ve heard rumors about the Blue Earth phone from Samsung for a while now, but it seems that they are finally releasing it… in Sweden. It should be available in other European markets shortly after and as of yet they have no plans of a release in the US (we’re not green enough I guess). Now the Samsung Earth is a solar powered eco-friendly phone. How eco-friendly is it? Well, it is made from recycled water bottles, has an ultra low power consuming DC charger (if its rainy out?) and comes in a reusable box made entirely of recycled
