HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE Review: DROID Doesn't

Posted by David Ruddock in 4G, HTC, Incredible 4G, Phone Reviews, Verizon Wireless

If Verizon's DROID brand is the Alamo (and at this point, it sure seems like it is), then the Incredible is Davy Crockett's trusty rifle Old Betsy (yeah yeah, I know he didn't he use it at the Alamo.)

The original Incredible was the best Android phone available when it stormed onto the scene in April of 2010. The follow-up Incredible 2 was still a hot-shot, though its 4" display and lack of 4G had it outgunned from the start, relegating it to a "high end of the mid-range" role in Verizon's Android lineup. And now, the Incredible 4G LTE is riding in with reinforcements - a modern S4 Snapdragon dual-core processor and Verizon's 4G LTE.

Nexus 7 Review: The Android Tablet, Rebooted

Posted by David Ruddock in ASUS, Jelly Bean 4.1, Nexus 7, Reviews, Tablet Reviews, Tablets

Last Updated: July 15th, 2012

Android tablets, for the last year plus they've existed, haven't been anything to get excited over. At least that's my opinion on the matter. And even if you've wanted one (a good one), most of them have been sort of expensive. But now that Google has unveiled the first true Nexus tablet (XOOM who?), for a mere 200 of your dollars, you can get in on the computing revolution. At that price, Google isn't shooting for the premium market. It's targeting first-time tableteers, boldly going where only Amazon and various Chinese knock-offs have gone before - into the sub-$200 slate market.

White EVO 4G LTE May Be Set To Land At Sprint July 15 Along With A Special Deal On the Epic 4G Touch

Posted by Liam Spradlin in EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), News, Sprint

Remember late last month when we caught what was alleged to be a white EVO 4G LTE on an inventory sheet and subsequently got a glimpse of the rumored device thanks to a suspect Sprint banner? Well, it looks like we can expect the snow-colored device to land at Sprint July 15th, according to TechnoBuffalo's "trusted source."

A white EVO LTE will probably come as no surprise to current Sprint subscribers or followers of the EVO line. Sprint has a habit of offering white versions of each iteration of the EVO, so it's only natural that the EVO LTE would follow suit.

Ice Cream Sandwich Now Rolling Out To Unbranded EVO 3Ds

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

Owners of unlocked versions of HTC's EVO 3D are starting to see the Ice Cream Sandwich update roll out across the globe; we've already seen reports of users receiving the update in Germany, Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and more.

The OTA update brings Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6 to the other-dimensional handset, but if you just can't stand the wait, XDA user AcerExtensa has pulled the update file and included instructions on how to flash it without updating hboot. This of course will break root, but getting it back is as simple as flashing another file.

This is only for unlocked EVO 3Ds and is not compatible with the Sprint variant of the device!
