Earlier this morning, we reported on HTC’s announcement of their new HTC Hero. We posted a bunch of pics, video, and some solid information regarding the new device. When the news broke on the Hero, I knew that’s what this morning’s breakfast meeting, which HTC was holding with a small group of journalists, was all…

Well, appropriate to their London, England launch event, Orange UK is the first to announce that they’ll be…

T-Mobile G1 for $50? Ummmmm, No!
Earlier today a few reports noted that T-Mobile USA was offering the G1 for only $49.99. While a price drop makes sense, I thought a drop from $149.99 to $49.99 seemed just a little bit drastic. Sure enough, later this evening it seems as though initial reports may have jumped the gun. The $49.99 pricing…
HTC Magic Review (Verdict: A Good Start)
A few short weeks ago, Rogers unleashed the HTC Magic and Dream, allowing Google’s mobile OS, Android, to descend upon Canada like a swarm of open source, robotic, bright green locusts. I, for one, welcomed our new insectoid overlords. Will had already enjoyed the bleeding edge of Android when it first came out in the…

Naturally, when announcements like this are made, it’s only a matter of time before a flurry of ‘spy shots’ hit us. Much as I expected, the…
Android OS for the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro!
It’s not everyday you see a Windows Mobile smartphone running a Linux-based mobile operating system. But, in the crazy (crazy cool, that is) world of handset hackery, anything is possible. So, it shouldn’t be all that surprising that Android hackers have ported Android OS to the HTC Touch Diamond (Diamond) and HTC Touch Pro (Raphael).…
iPhone 3GS is fast, just ask the iPhone 3G and Palm Pre
We knew the iPhone 3GS was fast – just a couple minutes with the iPhone 3GS in-hand is enough to prove as much – but now we have a more applicable idea of the iPhone 3GS’s speed. Anandtech ran a series of speed-tests on the iPhone 3GS, comparing it against the iPhone 3G, Palm Pre,…
A Closer Look at Verizon’s HTC Ozone
We got a brief, vague glimpse of the HTC Ozone on the way to Verizon earlier this month, but a full-bodied spec list has recently bubbled up.
