T-Mobile G1 reaches its end of life; The first Android phone is no more
The world’s first Android died today of old age, the T-Mobile G1, (aka HTC Dream) has sadly been put out to pasture by T-Mobile. Although it was only a few years old, the HTC-made T-Mobile G1 just didn’t have what it took to keep up with the likes of the Samsung Captivate and the Nexus…
Dell Streak Will Set You Back $299 on Contract with AT&T
The Dell Streak is one huge device, and it apparently comes with an equally large sticker price on AT&T. While we’re used to seeing smartphones for just $199, even the bigger Android devices like the HTC EVO 4G and Motorola Droid X, both with 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreens, the Streak may be the exception.

From thinking that the Motorola Droid X would commit suicide if you tried to hack it, hearing that eFuse is not as big of a deal than we previously thought, to getting root on the Motorola Android superphone shortly afterward, hacking the X just got a lot simpler – as in click-one-button simple. The Droid…
BlackBerry 9800 Readying for App World, European Carriers
Those submitting to the App World can now pick the upcoming BlackBerry 9800 and OS 6 as compatibility options, further solidifying suspicions of an August 15 release on AT&T.

Orange iPhone 4 Launch Will Be One Totally Sexist Party
Orange at Globus will be launching the iPhone 4 in just a few days, but it will be taking a different approach, especially with the ladies, to its shindig in honor of Apple’s latest handset. Now, I’m all about certain rules and etiquette and exceptions when it comes to lounges and night clubs; usually, that…

Take this one with a large grain of salt, but a tipster tells our friends at Android Spin that the long-awaited Android 2.2 software update will be hitting the Motorola Droid, Droid X and HTC Droid Incredible as soon as next week.
