Some interesting developments on the Pearl 3G came to light recently. While all major carriers in Canada have confirmed they will pack the 9100, carriers in the United States haven’t been as forthcoming with their plans. One can only assume that at least ONE major player will have the 3G on-board shortly, but from some…
Samsung Galaxy S gets some promo video action, talks up the Smart Alarm and Super AMOLED display
With the Galaxy S rumored to be launching soon on Vodafone, we’re already starting to see some promo videos of the device.

Project Emerald Really an HTC-Made, Android-Running Sidekick?
One thing was right about the first Project Emerald rumour: T-Mobile is likely launching a Nexus One-grade smartphone, but it’s not going to be the Samsung Galaxy S, as expected.

The Mobile Roundup – The “back like I left something” edition
Hey friends, sorry about missing last week’s Mobile Roundup but I was up to my eyeballs in a Kin One review. This was a very Android-tastic week, as the EVO 4G got a price tag and a release data, the LG Ally was formally introduced and T-Mobile is reportedly working on bringing out a high-end…

Google admits failure with online phone store
When Google introduced the Nexus One in January through its online store, it was hoping to revolutionize the way U.S. customers purchased phones.

HTC success taking share from RIM, Motorola
HTC keeps bringing the punches in more ways than one today. Being the Android king since the beginning has done them well. Lately, it seems almost all of the company’s lineup is a hit, and they show no signs of slowing down. This is unfortunate for Motorola and RIM, as HTC has been stealing some…
