While it’s said to be in stores on September 9th, the Fascinate may indeed become available a day earlier via…
Remember the Motorola portrait slider Android device (XT300) we saw not too long ago? The severely blurred images gave us a glimpse at the upcoming Android phone, but now we have clearer photos of the device. And, this time, the XT300 brings some video along with it. The vertical-sliding QWERTY form-factor is interesting, yet quirky.…
Once we got news that the Motorola Droid X had received its very own custom recovery image, we were patiently awaiting custom Android (well, Android 2.2 Froyo, in particular) ROMs to surface.

AT&T has taken it upon themselves to be as annoying as possible to the Android community by preventing users from downloading apps outside of the Android Market.
