HTC Rhyme Shows Up Just In Time, Has All The Ladies Standing In Line

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Rhyme

For all the Android-lovin' ladies in the house, HTC has just announced the Rhyme for Verizon: a mid-range device coated in a metallic plum (read: purple) finish with matching accessories. Previously rumored as the Bliss, the Rhyme was designed with the woman in mind (see what I did there?), complete with "charm indicator" -- an accessory that will glow purple when the phone is ringing, so you never miss another call because you didn't hear your phone beneath... whatever it is that you keep in that bottomless pit of a handbag.

From a hardware standpoint, the Rhyme is a modernized Droid Incredible pimped out with a female twist:

3.7-inch WVGA display
1GHz Snapdragon processor (single core)
768MB RAM
5MP rear camera, VGA front camera
Android 2.3 with Sense 3.5

It also comes matching earbuds and a Bluetooth headset, as well as a sport armband so you can show off your new purple sidekick while workin' on your fitness.

[Review] Samsung Epic 4G Touch: Big Power, Big Performance, Bigger Package

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Epic 4G Touch, Reviews, Samsung, Sprint

Here we are: the launch of the first Samsung Galaxy S II to hit a U.S. carrier, dubbed the Epic 4G Touch (E4GT) and landing on Sprint today. It certainly took long enough for the SGSII to hit U.S. shores - it was announced by Samsung in February during MWC, and launched as early as May in some markets. It was a huge success even before launch, with Samsung receiving millions of pre-orders, and for good reason - the SGSII was incredibly well rated, with reviewers universally praising it as one of (usually the) best Android device available. Consequently, for months after its international lanch, it was highly anticipated in the U.S.

HTC Officially Reveals Sensation XE: Beats Audio, 1.5GHz Dual-Core CPU, And No Word On A North American Release

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in HTC, News, Sensation XE

HTC has officially announced the previously-rumored update to the Sensation, dubbed the XE. We heard about it a few weeks ago as the "Special Edition" (or SE), and it looks like the leaked details were spot-on, right down to the Beats Audio integrations.

The press release for the XE touts it provides "the ultimate audio experience." When using the included Beats earbuds (pictured), the phone will switch to a special sound profile, "delivering audio tracks tuned specifically for the headphones."

Other specs of the XE:

1.5GHz dual-core CPU
4.3" qHD SLCD
8MP rear camera, VGA front
1080p vidoe recording
microSD card (8GB or 16GB) in-box

The phone is scheduled to launch in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Asia Pacific later this month.

Initial Impressions And Hands-On With The Samsung Epic 4G Touch For Sprint

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S II, News, Samsung, Sprint

Last Updated: September 16th, 2011

The Samsung Galaxy S II (SGSII) has been one of the most highly anticipated devices in recent memory - perhaps second only to the annual new iPhone. There are two very good reasons for this: first, the original Galaxy S devices were hailed as some of the best on the market. Second - and more importantly - from its start as an on-paper proof, to its run on the trade show circuit, through its international release, the Galaxy S II been hailed as one of (if not the) best phone on the market.

Unfortunately for those of us in the States, we've had to wait quite a bit longer than our European counterparts to get our mitts on the hottest piece of Android kit ever to hit the market.

HTC Sense 3.5 Up And Running On EVO 4G - Clear Step Up From 3.0

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Development, EVO 4G (Supersonic), News

Something that I love about the Android development community is that developers are always looking for the newest thing to beef up current devices. The case of HTC's Sense 3.5 is no different. The newest iteration of HTC's overlay was obtained from a dump belonging the HTC Bliss, a yet-to-be-released phone that will come with Sense 3.5 baked in. Ostensibly a split-second later, Senior XDA developer Evokings got 3.5-based ROM to the EVO 4G. The new version of Sense is already available on the Droid Incredible, the Incredible 2, and a few other HTC devices.

Improving on its predecessor, Sense 3.5 uses the ring-style lockscreen, allows for landscape viewing of homescreens and the app drawer, and new notification options allowing users to create resizable widgets to display various notifications right on the home screen.

HTC: Gingerbread Will Be Coming To The Droid Incredible And ThunderBolt In September

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Incredible, News, Thunderbolt (Mecha)

Finally! The long awaited Gingerbread update for both the Droid Incredible and ThunderBolt will be hitting the airwaves in September, according to HTC's official Twitter.

While several leaked Android 2.3.x builds for each device have surfaced over the past few months, none of them were deemed good enough to achieve "official" status, so it's good to know that HTC has finally put the finishing touches on each.

No solid date has been set, so just know that your waiting will finally come to an end within the next few weeks.

[Updated x2: It's Rootable] Exclusive Download: Official Gingerbread Build For The HTC Droid Incredible

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Exclusives, Incredible, News

Last Updated: June 5th, 2012

We've been talking about Gingerbread for the Droid Incredible and its on-again-off-again status quite a bit lately, but after the official support docs showed up on VZW's site, we had confirmation of what we knew all along: the update is alive and kicking. It was rumored that it would start rolling out OTA-style earlier in the week but was delayed for unknown reasons, leaving Incredible owners without their cookie-filled upgrade just a little bit longer.

Fortunately, the wait is over, as we've received and exclusive leak of the Gingerbread RUU from a giving tipster. This looks like the final build, as it shares all the same version number from Verizon's documentation (4.06.605.2), as well as the same baseband (2.15.10.07.07).

[Deal Alert] HTC EVO 3D $99 With A New Two-Year Agreement From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, EVO 3D (Shooter), News

The EVO 3D is easily one of the hottest phones on Sprint right now, and with good reason. It's fast, functional, fluid, and brings a lot of incredible features to the table, like 3D and Sense 3.0. If you've been waiting for a good deal to come along before dumping your current carrier and switching to The Now Network, now is the time, as Amazon Wireless is letting this 3D shooter go for $99 with a new two-year agreement. The deal is not as sweet for current Sprintsters, though, as the price is nearly doubled for a contract renewal ($180), which will still save you a bit of change versus the retail front.
