Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy Nexus, Leaks, News, Rumors, Sprint

Okay, I know what you're thinking: isn't the Sprint GNex coming out on April 15th? Well... maybe. Actually, we're not sure now - according to a new document obtained by The Verge, it could actually be coming out exactly one week later, on April 22.

Despite the fact that the earlier leak came from a highly trusted source, this image appears to be legit, as all of the other dates are spot-on. So, if you're determined to get your hands on the very first Sprint LTE device out of the gate, it looks like the LG Viper is still on-schedule to hit on the 15th.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX, Verizon Wireless

Looks like Rezound a RAZR/Maxx owners could be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich as early as next week, if this leaked document from Best Buy that just landed in our inbox is to be believed.

As you can clearly see, Wednesday, April 4th is slated to be the day that the RAZR twins see the Android 4.0 update; while the Rezound update should begin rolling out just two days later.

Now, we realize that it's pretty close to April Fool's Day, so before you scream out "Fake!", we've already reached out to our sources to verify the validity of the image, and it appears to be the real deal.

AT&T's HTC One X Release Date Possibly Outed As May 6th, According To Best Buy

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Leaks, News, One X (Endeavor)

Many AT&T customers have been chomping at the bit waiting for any word on when the upcoming HTC One X could hit the scene, and thanks to Best Buy, we may finally have an idea as to when that may be.

The Double B has been taking pre-orders for the One X for a few weeks now, but even then, didn't tell customers when they could expect their glorious new handset to arrive. However, one customer recently received an email from Best Buy stating that the "release date for [their] pre-ordered item" had changed to May 6, 2012.

Since we didn't actually know of a release date in the first place, we're not entirely sure what "changed" about this, but that makes little difference now.

[Rumor] HTC One S Possibly Hitting T-Mobile On April 22

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, News, One S (Ville), Rumors, T-Mobile

If you're waiting for the One S to hit T-Mobile, a new piece of information just hit the scene that may be of interest to you. This particular piece of information clearly shows the release date for the device: April 22.

You know the drill with this sort of thing, though: this is just a rumor and it could change at a moments notice. With that said, this leak appears to be pretty official, so it looks like T-Mo is pretty dang close to getting its first HTC device with ICS (if the Amaze or Sensation updates don't roll out first, that is).

Posted by John Thompson in Galaxy S II, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, Leaks, News

Some owners of the original AT&T Galaxy S II may have been left feeling unwanted when Ice Cream Sandwich leaked for the GSII Skyrocket a couple of days ago, but now they have their very own version to download and play around with.

This morning, RootzWiki posted a leaked built of Ice Cream Sandwich for the original Galaxy S II, and looking at the build.prop file alongside the screenshots of the build, it seems to be the real deal from Samsung, just like the leak for the Skyrocket.

Ice Cream Sandwich Leaks For AT&T's GSII Skyrocket, Here's The Download

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Leaks, News

It looks like users of Samsung's Galaxy SII Skyrocket are getting a chance at some Ice Cream Sandwich goodness a little sooner than anticipated – earlier this evening, RootzWiki posted a leaked build of ICS for the Skyrocket, dated March 14th. From the build.prop, it would seem that this may be the official release build, but of course there's no way of being positive.

ro.build.description=SGH-I727-user 4.0.3 IML74K 107 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-I727/SGH-I727:4.0.3/IML74K/107:user/release-keys
ro.build.characteristics=default

Those with Windows and a copy of Odin can download and flash away. RootzWiki assures Mac and Linux users, however, that a solution is on the way. If you're tired of reading and want to get ICS on your Skyrocket already, just hit the download link below.

[Rumor Stomp] New Samsung Galaxy S III Image Leaks, Claims To Be An Official Press Photo, Is Definitely Fake

Posted by David Ruddock in Galaxy S III, Leaks, News, Rumors

The Samsung Galaxy S III rumors have been gathering quite a bit of pace lately. Just a few days ago, we saw a leaked image of what the phone could potentially look like, although we had our doubts over its authenticity due to the presence of physical buttons below the screen and the form factor of the device.

Fast forward a few days, and another image has "leaked" online, this time from the Dutch website GSM Helpdesk. The site claims that this image is an official press photo of Samsung's new flagship phone, and it looks very similar to the previous leak.

[Leaks] Motorola DROID Fighter Gets Its Glamour Shots On, Angled Corners, HD Screen, And On-Screen Keys All Revealed

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Leaks, News

We've heard whispers and rumors of a new Motorola device dubbed the "DROID Fighter" (no relation) heading for Verizon. Today, we've got our first look at the device via Mr. Blurrycam. The device was snapped sitting next to a DROID RAZR, highlighting the notable differences of a larger, possibly HD screen and no capacitive buttons.

It can only be assumed that this device, if released as-is, would be an Ice Cream Sandwich device at launch due to its lack of capacitive buttons. Beyond that, however, it's unclear just how much of an improvement this device might be over the DROID RAZR MAXX*.

Alleged Samsung Employee Allegedly Leaks Alleged Photo Of The Galaxy S III - The Plot Thickens

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Galaxy S III, Leaks, News, Rumors, Samsung

Following the controversy surrounding a potentially leaked image of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy SIII, many were left (still) wondering just what Sammy's flagship would actually look like. Thickening the plot significantly, a Redditor has stepped up and posted what is claimed to be a real photo of the actual Galaxy SIII, provided by an employee of Samsung.

Just under an hour ago, the Redditor (using a throwaway or one-off account), posted the photo, claiming that the Samsung employee provided not only a photo, but some juicy details as well.

According to the source, the SIII currently has "two optional launchers," meaning users can choose to work with Samsung's TouchWiz overlay, or a stock ICS launcher.
