Samsung & AT&T Have An Announcement Coming Soon

May 2nd, 2011

It looks as if we will be seeing some sort of an announcement in a few days from Samsung and AT&T.

According to the invitation both companies will be holding an event in New York City on May 5th that will include both product demonstrations and executive remarks.  What they have up there sleeves at this event we are not quite sure yet, but hopefully it will be some stellar news like the Samsung Galaxy S II.

TDG will be there as we are with all the Samsung events to give you the goodness as it happens.

HTC Pyramid Making Its Premier In UK

April 6th, 2011

Early this week, we had mentioned that the HTC Pyramid should be making its debut overseas at HTC’s event on April 12th in London. According to new information, it seems that the Pyramid will be released under the name HTC Sensation, which HTC had claimed back in January.

The HTC Pyramid, is similar to the EVO 3D, and will have a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor, Android 2.3, and a 4.3″ qHD touch display. Even though it should be appearing at the event in London, it is rumored that we should not see the actual release in till some time this summer.  Which carrier the Pyramid will be launched on, along with price, are still a mystery to us,but hopefully we will learn more this Tuesday at the event in London.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the upcoming HTC Pyramid/Sensation.

Sneak Peek at Future HTC Devices At London Event

April 2nd, 2011

It seems that HTC is sending out invitations for an event in London on April 12th, which just happens to coincide with Microsoft’s Mix 2011 developers conference. At this point not much is known regarding what all HTC will be showing off, but we are guessing that since it has been awhile since HTC debuted a Window’s phone that we may be seeing a few of those. Also HTC could also be debuting their HTC Pyramid along with the EVO 3D that we have been patiently waiting on a release date for.

The HTC Pyramid is said to have a dual core processor, dual cameras (8 mp in back, 1.3 in front), 4.3″ qHD display, and 768 MB of Ram. Rumor is that it is to have a May release date and be heading for Magenta. While the EVO 3D  is to launch this summer on Sprint. The EVO 3D is to feature Android 2.3, 4.3″ display, Dual Lens on a 5 mp camera, and of course the highlight, 3D capable with out the need for those funny glasses.

I am sure as the day gets closer we will gather a few more details concerning the London event, and even if HTC is able to keep it all top secret, the 12th is only ten days away. We will be sure to pass on any details that we gather between now and then. In the mean time do you think we will see the EVO 3D and Pyramid at this event? Let us know what you think.

Is the Kyocera Echo Sprint’s Big Announcement?

February 7th, 2011

Sprint's Dan Hesse on stage at CTIA: File Photo: Thedroidguy.com/Thedroidguy LLC

Someone pinch me it seems the Huffington Post has been acquired by AOL and Sprint’s big announcement is the Kyocera Echo.

Mobile, tech and Android media along with industry analysts were invited to an invite only event in New York City Monday evening. We will be n hand as CEO Dan Hesse and master illusionist and world record holder David Blaine present Sprint in another Industry first.  We are very excited about this “Industry first” because until just a few hours ago Sprint had done a really good job of keeping the best kept secret in mobile so far.

Typically when we get one of these invitations we know exactly what the device is going to be or we have at least a good idea.  With this Sprint event everyone was speculating from the LG 3D phone, to an HTC tablet, to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4G for Sprint. Anyone of these could, we guess, be considered an Industry first.

Tonight, Bloomberg is reporting that the Industry first is the announcement of the Kyocera Echo Android device. They have received this information from an anonymous source familiar with the companies plans.

As we said above David Blaine and Dan Hesse are involved in this product launch which according to the invitation the two of them will show you that the “impossible is possible”. Not much has been leaked on the internet about the capabilities of the Kyocera Echo, perhaps it’s 3D and will hit the market before the LG 3D Android device does. Perhaps Bloomberg has it wrong?

We’ll know later tonight.

CES Rewind: Huawei Unveils The X-5

January 16th, 2011

When I got my hands  on the Huawei X5 phone the first thing I  noticed is that instead of Huawei running there own skin, they run stock Android. The X-5 Comes with 2.2 however it wont be updated to 2.3. The phone has 3.8 WVGA 800×400 TFT captive touch screen as well has having Swype per-installed. 4Gbs of Rom and supports up to 720p recording.

The phone itself is very nice however like I stated before being brought in at 2.2 and not being upgraded isn’t something that many want to hear. It’s  running on T-Mobiles network and supports 900/2100 MHz HSDPA for the “high speed” network that they run.

One of my major issues though is with releasing this in the press conference he stated that they’ll be releasing another higher end device right away. The X5 also doesn’t come with a front facing camera, which is just about standard this year, so middle end Android device is where this one should be.

Many manufacturers are introducing mid-range devices worth looking at.

HTC And Sprint AT CES

January 14th, 2011

Other sites are currently postulating a hypothesis that HTC and Sprint are up to something based on their lack of prescense at CES.

Let’s first get this straight. HTC typically does one show a year and does shoulder events for other trade shows.  HTC took a group of journalists out at CTIA in San Francisco, had a booth at Pepcom in San Francisco and had a meeting room at CTIA.  At CES they took a group of journalists out for In N Out Burger in a nice limousine, and met with people in a meeting room in the back of the south hall.  Their meeting room was on the CES show map and they announced prior to CES that they were having an “open house’ on two of the days.

As for Sprint, they could be found in a suite off site and saw journalists, buyers and analysts throughout the show. They’ve called an event for February 7th and the world is just a buzzing about what it could be.

Could it be a Samsung Galaxy Tab on 4G
Could it be an iPhone on 4G (remember the Verizon announcement said it wasn’t exclusive)
Could it be an HTC tablet (the Scribe) on Sprint?
Could it be new rates.

Nobody knows but everyone likes to speculate. We’ll tell you on the 7th
