And the first mobile operator that announced the HTC Wildfire is… (drums please)… Virgin Mobile UK. The Richard Branson-owned MVNO will start offering the mid-range Android smartphone at some point in the third quarter of the year.

To Sense or not to Sense – Sprint HTC EVO 4G offers option to disable Sense UI
The Sense UI is a great experience on any Android device, if it comes preloaded or you install it on a rooted device. But some may want the option to change to the stock UI if they so choose. It looks like you can do just that on the upcoming EVO 4G. With the HTC…

As the US, nay the world, waits for Sprint to launch their much-anticipated HTC EVO 4G Android smartphone next month, mobile tech geeks will have to pass the time with somewhat previews of the Android phone in any shape and form. The latest preview of the EVO 4G isn’t as much a look at the…
HP outbid four others for Palm
Hewlett-Packard spent $1.2 billion to acquire Palm but it wasn’t the only one interested in getting its hands on webOS and all those increasingly-valuable mobile patents. According to an SEC filing, there was a five-company bidding war for Palm. HP is the only company named (the others are just referred to as “Company X”) but…
Verizon Droid Incredible demand high, shipments repeatedly selling out
If you asked us which Android smartphone was the king of the hill at the moment, we’d be hard up to choose between the HTC-made Google Nexus One and the HTC Droid Incredible.

Look, I understand that companies rehash old designs when creating new products to fit in new price segments, but the HTC Wildfire is a bit embarrassing. The front of the smartphone looks like the Nexus One, but don’t be fooled, it’s not even close to being the same device. The Wildfire has a 528 MHz…

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. Supposedly, Project Emerald will actually be related to a new Sidekick phone made by HTC, running Android 2.1, using a 1 Ghz processor, have a…
Windows Phone 7 ROM leaks, HTC Windows Phone codenamed ‘Mondrian’ breaks cover
With Microsoft barreling down the product pipeline to meet their Windows Phone 7 launch window, set for later this year, it’s not too surprising to see the first WP7 ROM leak out to the web.

Rumor: MyTouch Slide $149, release on June 16th
The MyTouch Slide just became a little more appealing thanks to this rumor. From what looks like a T-Mobile pricing display for the Slide, it might just launch at $149 on June 16th. Unlike the Droid Eris, we have good reason that Slide will be more than $99. According the picture below, the phone will…
