HTC talks Ice Cream Sandwich updates – Coming in late March to select handsets
Looks like HTC isn’t wasting any time when it comes to updating its existing line of handsets to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Today on Facebook, HTC announced that the Android 4.0 update rollout would begin in late March, starting with the Sensation line of handsets. We do know that HTC’s new handset flow will begin to wane in 2012 in favor of better quality devices but we don’t know if that also translates to a greater focus on updating the massive amount of different handsets it released last year. … Read more

HTC Ville smiles for the camera … again [Said to pack a Qualcomm S4 processor inside]
HTC’s Ville is quickly becoming one of the worst kept secrets in the mobile industry. Last week a video surfaced on the internets showing off the unannounced smartphone, and while it was good enough to demonstrate how thin the Ville is, it wasn’t exactly what one would call sharp. Now though, thanks to the Chinese website ePrice, we have four new images of the Ville that are bright as day and paint a good picture of what we can expect. In short, it’s the HTC Sensation that was announced last … Read more

How’s that ‘big and bulky’ strategy working out for HTC?
CFO of HTC Winston Yung admitted the company “dropped the ball” in 2011 and its high-end devices are not selling as well as expected. This is due mostly to HTC’s hardware being substantially thicker than the competition and often having poor battery life. “While short term performance may not meet the results as expected, we have gained further experience and advancement in the areas of brand management and product innovation,” CEO Peter Chou stated in a press release. “These fundamental strengths and the groundwork we have laid will take us … Read more

HTC: Our Q1 2012 revenues are going to be down by about 36%, we just have to keep on hustlin’
With hindsight we can pinpoint the exact day when HTC’s demise began: April 12, 2011. That’s the day that the HTC Sensation was announced, the device that on paper was better than Samsung’s Galaxy S II, but in reality was an incredibly disappointing pile of plastic, metal, and glass. Two quarters after the Sensation hit the market, the Taiwanese handset vendor posted their first profit decline in two years. That slump is only going to continue according to Reuters, who reports that HTC is expecting revenues to be up to … Read more

UK: HTC Flyer now available for 234.99 GBP
HTC Flyer is now available for 234.99 GBP, which translates into about $372. Sure it used to be available for less (199 GBP), but that was at a short period after Christmas when all prices go south. Now if you want a nicely designed 7-inch tablet, the Flyer is a decent option. However, I would suggest getting something else instead. For instance, take a look at the Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus or Huawei MediaPad, which even looks like the Flyer. Although HTC’s tablet now runs Android Honeycomb, we’re not sure … Read more

White HTC Sensation with preloaded Android 4.0 hitting Europe on March 1st
HTC Sensation in white will hit (at least parts of) Europe on March 1st. But wait, there’s more – that version of the device also comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich preloaded, hinting us all of the Sensation users will get the new software in early March (or so we hope). The information comes from the Taiwanese company’s Dutch office, though we’re certain the Netherlands won’t be the only country where you’ll be able to buy the white Sensation. As a reminder, the HTC Sensation is still considered one … Read more

More security issues found in HTC devices – by HTC
HTC recently announced that its found a security flaw within a handful of its Android phones and has already issued a fix on its website. While its nice to see that HTC has already identified and fixed the issue, we’re wondering how long the security flaw was around before it was made known to the public. The security issue at hand pertains to secure information becoming exposed while on WiFi networks and affects the following handsets: Desire HD, Glacier, Droid Incredible, Thunderbolt, Sensation, Sensation 4G, Desire S, EVO 3D, and … Read more

HTC Titan II passes through FCC
While we still don’t have an official release date for the HTC Titan II, the Windows Phone smartphone with a massive 16-megapixel camera just took one step closer to hitting the market by clearing the Federal Communications Commission. First announced at CES 2012, the HTC Titan II was the first official Windows Phone with 4G LTE on AT&T. With a 4.7-inch Super LCD display, 1.5 GHz SnapDragon processor, 16-megapixel camera and all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a device of this class, the Titan II could very well … Read more

Are handset makers delaying launches because of iPhone 4S demand?
I think it’s safe to say that the iPhone 4S was anything but the disappointment some bloggers and analysts originally expected. There’s endless articles on how much of a success Apple’s latest smartphone has been and demand has been so strong, in fact, rumors are now spouting that other handset manufacturers are pushing their phone launches until at least the Q2 2012. For their sake, hopefully the iPhone hype will cool down a bit by then. According to a report from DigiTimes, vendors from around the globe including Samsung, HTC, Nokia, … Read more

HTC Ville leaks – Exactly what you’d expect
We know that HTC has come out and said that it will be making fewer but better handsets in 2012 and one of those handsets has just leaked. That handset would be the HTC Ville, a name we’ve heard quite a few times. The handset is running Android Ice Cream Sandwich with the latest version of the Sense UI and just like previous handsets, you probably won’t be able to notice what version the handset is running on but you may be distracted by its absurdly thin profile. The HTC … Read more
