That tiny rendering of the unannounced Samsung Nexus S just won’t do, will it? How about some live shots of Samsung’s Android 2.3, T-Mobile-bound handset? Having a hand on it definitely gives some credence to the rumoured 4-inch screen size, and you can clearly see the front-facing video camera in the top-right. Some additional digging…
Remember the glimpse of Samsung’s unannounced Nexus S on Best Buy this morning? Now they’re showing the first picture of the device proper on the front page of their digital newsletter running what looks like Android 2.3. Unfortunately the newsletter doesn’t mention the Nexus S in any helpful capacity, like with specs, but if you…
An evolutionary upgrade to the Dell Streak is apparently in the pipes, according to someone attending a briefing by a company rep. The screen on Dell Opus One will also be 5 inches, but the resolution will be cranked up to 1280 x 800 (from 800 x 480), and the horsepower will be bumped up…
So much for Samsung not making a Nexus phone, eh? Best Buy Mobile temporarily showed the Nexus S as available from T-Mobile on their site, but has since been removed. Hit up the Google cache of the sighting if you’re at all skeptical about the screenshot above. Details on such a device are skimpy, but…
Following up on the RIM’s first slider, the BlackBerry Torch 9800, rumour has it the next one will be smaller and cheaper. The reduced size suggests that such a device would have a condensed keyboard like the Pearl series, but that’s just fun with Photoshop at this point. Exactly how much cheaper we’re talking is…
An anonymous tipster has suggested that the big 3.7″ BlackBerry Storm we saw with a trackpad will in fact be running the operating system made by QNX found in the PlayBook tablet. We were fairly certain this transition was going to happen eventually, and jives well with rumours we had heard back in July. The…
Alright you raunchy people, Hustler just launched their Android app and is available for $2.99. From what I’m hearing, this is a pretty softcore app with no full-blown nudity, namely so that it can get into the Android Market without any hassle. Hustler for Android includes video and stills of models from recent years, plus…
Yesterday Dell went live selling the Streak direct to consumers for $549.99, but for those looking for something a little more affordable in the short-term, Rogers is now selling it for $149.99 subsidized on a three-year contract. Sadly, it’s launching with Android 1.6, but it looks like an official 2.2 Froyo upgrade is coming soon,…
One of my favourite apps, Poynt, is now available for iPhone and Android users in Italy, France, Spain, and the UK. As a location-based search app, I’d imagine there are a different set of directories they would have to partner with to get working over there just like here in North America. I’m a little…
As rumored, the Motorola Citrus is going live in Verizon stores tomorrow, which will go for $49.99 on a two-year contract after mail-in rebate. As the pricetag might suggest, the Citrus isn’t what you’d call an incredibly high-end phone: it runs Android 2.1,has a 3 megapixel camera, 3-inch QVGA touchscreen, Wi-Fi b/g, GPS, 3G over…
