HTC & Sprints EVO 4G

Do you love the huge 4.3 real estate of the T-Mobile HD2 but turned off by the winmo OS? Sprint might have the solution for you. Sprint will soon release the HTC EVO 4G (this is the phone that was code named Supersonic) with support for the carriers WIMAX band. The device has the same 4.3 inch display as the HD2 but features the Android 2.1 OS. Also found on the device is a kickstand, 8MP camera, GPS and a host of other features.

AT&T Launches Dell's Aero

The first smartphone to be built by Dell and powered by Android will be released on AT&T. Its believed that the UI was actually built by AT&T along with assistance from Dell. This means consumers can expect many AT&T options on board. The device features include 5MP camera, GPS and a 3.5 inch screen.

iPhone Good News - Maybe

Apple released an official document today informing employees that the iPhone can now be purchased at full retail price without AT&T contract. My first impressions were awesome til I quickly realized the device is still locked to AT&T. So possibly this is Apples first step in a breakaway from the exclusive with AT&T or just a way to sell more phones .. not certain at this point.

Incredible Stars In VIdeo

The HTC Incredible is caught, on video, in the wild after the jump. It will be released on Verizon though the date has not been announced. The specs are much like the Nexus One but includes HTC's Sense layered on top of Android 2.1. Personally I do not like the device design. I believe we are at the point now with Android phones that we do not need to simply settle for whatever is pushed out ... but I'm certain the Incredible will appeal to most.

Also as noted before the device now sports 3G bands. The only thing left to find out is what carriers will release the device and when that will be. Out guess is we will find out next month at the Blackberry convention.

HD2 Release Date?

The ultra sexy HD2 is about to be released on T-Mobile. However, we are now receiving many mix messages of exactly when the device will hot the retail store shelves. The original release date was thought to be March 24th. Then on their Twitter account today a Mobi TV staffer posted March 23rd. Mobi TV is one of the native apps on the device. Now we hear from several well informed T-Mobile employees that the release has actually been delayed til early April. I guess we will have to wait to find out at the T-Mobile HD2 New York City press event for the actual date.

You can see them all here.

Several upcoming Android devices will feature the Swype keyboard. Additionally the technology will soon show up on other smartphone touchscreen devices.

AT&T Says Thumbs Down To Google?

Many sources have reported that the soon to be released Motorola Backflip running Google's Android OS and picked up by AT&T will be feature Yahoo has the default search engine. Furthermore, AT&T has removed nearly all Google branded apps leaving only stock Android apps on the device. The carrier has also added plenty of their own branded features like AT&T Maps, AT&T WiFi, AT&T Music along with a host of others.

AT&T is the sole carrier of the iPhone in the states, and Apple and Google have not been getting along lately, one must wonder if AT&T has eliminated Google from their own OS to stay in favor with Apple.

Blackberry 9100 Keyboard

Could the photo above be the new keyboard for the upcoming Blackberry Pearl 9100? If so then it will be the first Pearl to be released without SureType. It seems that the surface space on the 9100 would be too small for a full qwerty keyboard but according to various insiders SureType is on its way out.

Yesterday T-Mobile quietly removed the MyTouch Fender and MyTouch 3G Black from upgrades and this also remove the later from sale at their web site. Since T-Mobile calls the MyTouch a franchise device it isn't going anywhere so why the recent changes?

It might be because the updated MyTouch 1.2 is about to hit the sales racks. The 1.2 version will feature a 2.5mm headphone jack as well as more memory. Stay tuned.

Why would T-Mobile send out a small update to a select few G1 and MyTouch usrs? Their tech support information notes claim to improve phone performance. Could this actually be a test of the upcoming Android 2.0 upgrade for G1 and MyTouch users?
