September 6th, 2011

By now we all know that Verizon Wireless skipped over the Samsung Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II is expected to be the breakthrough hit of the fall here in the United States. When it was first reported that Verizon Wireless was skipping over the Galaxy S II their official spokesperson, Brenda Raney, touted the existing Verizon Wireless devices. Other sites started reporting that another, similar device would launch with out the fanfare of the Samsung Galaxy S II with comparable features. Many believe this device to be the upcoming Droid Prime, which is supposed to be the first device with the newest version of Android, dubbed “Ice Cream Sandwich”. Now it’s looking like it may be the Samsung Stratosphere.

Huawei Concept Andoid Phone brings a cool new form factor

September 3rd, 2010

Berlin Germany- When we stopped by the Huawei booth we were treated to the IDEOS line, just announced to come to the US at a lower pice point and for pre-pay customers. The IDEOS is a solid line for enty-midrange Android devices. Our Senior Editor Russell Holly will soon add more to the Huawei IDEOS story and video. This video shows a brand new concept phone.
Huawei Spokes Person, Sean Zhang, confirmed that they are looking to put the latest version of Android, at time of launch, onto this device. It looks to have a 4.3-4.5 inch screen (No Dell it’s not a tablet), and a unique slide out keyboad which bends over to form a kickstand for media viewing.
Zhang also confimed that they are adding more and more US Carrier partners to their infrastructure and that we will probably see this phone in the US by Q2 1011.

We had some video problems this morning so the video is only Fair.

Motorola Charm Android with a Moto Q style

July 14th, 2010

By: Gunnar Saxon

Before I start this post, I want to thank The Droid Guy for allowing me to collaborate with him for this article.

Back to business. The Motorola Charm is the first Android phone of it’s kind to date. With a BlackBerry-esque form factor, complete with four row qwerty-keyboard, and MOTOBLUR installed over Android 2.1, this makes for a very interesting mixup. The Charm is going to be a GSM and CDMA phone, so no carrier specifications as of yet. Some high points of this phone are 7 homescreens, 300 minutes of talk time CDMA (405 for GSM), and approximately 300 hours of standby time. The 2.8″ touchscreen is nearly square, meaning that those used to the long, skinny screens will find none of the sort here.

As a BlackBerry user and enthusiast (don’t worry, I’m just as crazy about Android) I rather like this phone. It provides the form-factor that I so love with BlackBerry with an operating system that I love. MOTOBLUR is the major downfall of this phone for me. I found the backflip to be rather annoying, and this phone reminds me all too much of it. The BLUR on the Droid X looks beautiful, but this version of BLUR looks equally as bothersome as the backflips.
