T-Mobile is really (and we mean *really*) serious when it comes to Android. We’ve already talked about some of the smartphones that are heading their way and now 4 new models are joining the party, too. First comes the Samsung Galaxy S II, which is the Korean company’s flagship phone for this year and their…
UK’s Phones4u to start selling the Samsung Galaxy S II on April 27; Austria to get it in early-May
Although Samsung said the Galaxy S II will hit the UK on May 1st, Phones4u got it a few days earlier. Lucky few who have already pre-ordered the device can expect to get it tomorrow, on April 27th. That’s just few days before the rest of the country will be able to get Sammy’s dual-core…
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROM leaked for the Samsung Galaxy Ace
Good news if you own the Samsung Galaxy Ace. Apparently you will be able to update your device to the latest version of Android OS. Honestly I thought Ace won’t get this update — considering it’s a mid-range device that doesn’t have a 1Ghz CPU — but it seems I was wrong. The Android 2.3.3…
Samsung touts slimness of Galaxy S2 in latest ad
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is a super powerful Android smartphone and the company is also touting how slim it is in the latest ad below. At 8.49 millimeters, this Android smartphone is thin enough to fit under doors if you believe this ad. We’ve had a chance to play with the Samsung Galaxy S2 at…
Sprint’s Nexus S 4G now available for pre-order at Best Buy
Best Buy now lists two different Nexus S units on its website. The “old version” is made for T-Mobile’s 3G network whereas the new one, also known as Nexus S 4G, sings along Sprint’s WiMAX and CDMA network.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3G + Wi-Fi available for AU$299 in Australia, no contract required
As more and more companies launch or at least announce their Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets, Samsung simply gotta make its Galaxy Tab more affordable. And that’s what they’ve started doing with Australia being one of the first markets to get Sammy’s Android-powered tablet for less. The Tab is now available from JB Hi-Fi (though I…
How To : Root the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G
It’s only been two days since T-Mobile released the G2x and Sidekick 4G on the world, and both have been rooted already. While not as easy as the one-click root solution of the G2x, the Sidekick 4G’s root method doesn’t require too much know how to get things going. If you’re new to hacking your…
Samsung Infuse 4G hitting Walmart for $178.88
The Samsung Infuse 4G – and it really makes me cringe to call any AT&T phones “4G” – is going to hit Walmart for the totally arbitrary price of $178.88. Why not a penny more or less? The massive, 4.5-inch screen smartphone with Android has flown mostly under the radar where devices like the Atrix…
Samsung sues Apple right back for patent infringements
Apple recently filed a lawsuit against Samsung for its Galaxy line of phones and tablets for patent, trademark and design infringement.

We’ve already told you Telstra is interested to bring Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets (i.e. Motorola Xoom) to Australia. Well, that information is now confirmed with the release date set at some point in May. Unfortunately, we don’t know the price, but we do hope to see Telstra subsidizing the device to customers willing to commit…
