LG’s handset division lost money for six consecutive quarters until Q4 2011 when it made roughly $8.8 million. Now that the company’s Q1 2012 financial results are out, we’re pleased to say that they’ve made money once again, about $30.7 million. Those numbers are incredibly tiny, but they’re better than nothing. How about revenues though,…
US wireless carrier Sprint announced its quarterly earnings for the opening quarter of 2012 and, as expected, the results were less than stellar. The carrier reported a disappointing net loss of $863 million and a diluted net loss of $.29 per share. As a comparison, the carrier posted a net loss of $439 million and a…
HTC and Google used to have such a fantastic relationship. The first Android phone, the G1 for T-Mobile, was made by HTC. The first Nexus phone, aptly called the Nexus One, was also made by HTC. But these days … it’s safe to say that Android wouldn’t be where it is today if it wasn’t…

We’re going to have to wait until July, when the Finnish handset maker posts their Q2 2012 financial results, to know how many units they actually sold. Anyway, the question on everyone’s mind after the Lumia 900 started shipping in the United…
When it comes to Windows Phone manufacturers, one notable company has thus far refused to dip their toe into the water: Huawei. That’s soon going to change according to WPDang, who says that the Chinese handset maker has assembled a team of 70 engineers to work on a pair of Windows Phone 8 devices. One…
It looks like Sprint and Motorola are working on the successor of Photon 4G, which as far as we’re hearing will be called Photon Q 4G LTE. Yep it will run on Sprint’s soon-to-be-launched LTE network and aside from the new radio, it will also sport a 720p HD screen and perhaps a quad-core processor.…
The Huawei Ascend P1 S won’t hold the world’s thinnest smartphone title for long with competitor emerging from Huawei’s own backyard, China. The name of the company is Oppo, which is teasing the world with its sexy-lookin’, 6.65mm-thick device pictured above. Unfortunately we don’t have any details at the moment, leaving us to guess whether…
