Leaked High-End Verizon LG Android Phone Features LTE, Huge Screen, Lots Of Logos

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in LG, News, Verizon Wireless

Next up in the seemingly endless line of future Android phones we know almost nothing about: one of Verizon and LG's future LTE devices.

Unfortunately, Engadget's tipster didn't say much about this Verizon-bound device other than that it would be high-end, which in itself would be quite a departure from LG's other Android phone, the Ally. Luckily, there's a collection of logos awaiting us on the battery cover, including one that, thrillingly enough, represents LTE (it's right above the LG logo). Also present:

a logo that appears to be there on behalf of DLNA
two other logos that haven't been discerned yet - feel free to squint away and try to make them out for yourself
an HD camera with an unknown megapixel count
a huge screen - just look at that bad boy
what looks to be a front-facing camera (right above the display)
sexy styling - is this baby made of aluminum or what?

HTC Desire HD Look-A-Like Coming To Verizon?

Posted by Brian O'Toole in Desire HD (Ace), Devices By Manufacturer, HTC, News, Verizon Wireless

A couple of weeks back, Boy Genius Report got their hands on some photos of a very svelte looking, EVO-esque HTC phone that is supposedly coming to Verizon.

Now they have a suspicion that it is in fact Verizon’s model of the Desire HD, announced a few days ago in London.

There are one or two things to say about this - firstly, the handset they obtained images of has a kickstand, a feature notably absent in the super-slim Desire HD. Also, there have been no announcements as yet of a CDMA version at all, although that may well come in the future.

Verizon Page Teases Froyo Update for DROID X - Really, It's Coming. When? Good Question

Posted by David Ruddock in Droid X (Shadow), Froyo 2.2, News, Verizon Wireless

With a leaked 2.2 build for the DROID X already floating around, Froyo for the DROID X is not a matter of if, but when. Unfortunately, "when" is best answered as "soon." This was the speculation after the leak, but soon has not come nearly soon enough. Given Motorola's very stern warning regarding copyright infringement on the leaked version, the delay is probably owed to Moto patching up the exploits that have allowed the DROID X to be rooted and its bootloader security to be circumvented (à la Birdman and Koush).

Regardless of the reason behind Moto's delay in updating the DX to 2.2, it seems Verizon's having trouble containing its excitement over the Froyo jump.
