Here’s an interesting little tidbit that leaked yesterday over at BGR. If you’re a Sprint BlackBerry user, this one is for you. Seems as though the BlackBerry 9650 (with and without a camera) and BlackBerry 8520 Flip have shown up in Sprint’s order forms. Also making an appearance are the Motorola ES400 and the Palm…
Google wants to go all out with Nexus One marketing
Google is a pretty good company but their greatest strength can also be their greatest weakness. This highly intelligent company of engineers lacks the common man’s touch, and this lack of emotional intelligence may have been the reason Buzz and the Nexus One haven’t been very successful. I’ll not focus on the mess that is…
Evo: no voice and data at the same time
I don’t think you could call this utterly shocking, but like the Motorola Droid, the HTC EVO does not support simultaneous voice and data. Why someone would think that CDMA is somehow better on Sprint’s network is beyond me, but it’s still not good fun to hear that a smartphone like the EVO 4G is…

Clearwire asks 3GPP to make TD-LTE on 2.6 GHz a standard; WiMAX in the USA to die in 2011?
That’s a hell of a headline, shamelessly loaded with industry jargon, so let’s put this story together piece by piece. Clearwire is a mobile broadband vendor in the United States that uses WiMAX technology. They have a little under 700,000 users as of Q4 2009, and that includes users who signed up via 3rd party…
New satellite LTE network could challenge AT&T, Verizon
The hedge fund Harbinger Capital Partners will be purchasing the satellite operator SkyTerra and using the satellite network to create a nationwide 4G network based on Long-Term Evolution technology.

CTIA 2010: Android, mobile data ruled the roost
The IntoMobile team spent last week destroying Las Vegas for the CTIA Wireless 2010 tradeshow. Despite having no luck at the blackjack tables, we were able to fully cover the most important conference for the U.S. mobile industry. Read beyond the jump for a thorough take on the big hits and misses from Sin City.
Showdown: Sprint HTC EVO 4G vs T-Mobile HTC HD2
With everyone (ourselves included) hemming and hawing about how the HTC EVO 4G improved on the HTC HD2 with a dash of 4G WiMAX and a sprinkle of 8-megapixels on the camera, it only makes sense that we show you what the two media-savvy smartphones look like side-by-side. What you see here are the T-Mobile…
HD Video Demo: HTC EVO 4G camera and camcorder
The HTC EVO 4G didn’t just add WiMAX (4G) and Android 2.1 OS onto the HTC HD2’s proven package, it also received a significant spec-bump on its way to Sprint’s 4G network. In addition to the HDMI-out port (which we demo in this video) and the WiMAX radio and the kickstand, the Android phone sports…
