  • Looks like we now have some more images and a little bit more information on the HTC Mondrian. In recent a German site named BestBoyZ has been delivering a lot of the leaks about this phone and now one of their tipsters has sent them these very clear images of the HTC Mondrian that look like they may be future press shots. This is supposed to launch at or very soon after the Windows Phone 7 platform release. This also looks to be the highest end smartphone being launched, not in its category but in the whole of all smartphone’s. The rumor is that the this Mondrian is going to...

  • The HTC EVO 4G came out on June 4th, 2010. Every person on this planet should and will look back on that date, when the current best smartphone and the worlds first 3G/4G phone became available to the United States. The iPhone 4 then came out later that month, and look at its reception. From day one the antennagate problem was felt by everyone who used the phone. I mean what good is a phone if you can’t get a data connection? The EVO was the first phone to actually compete against the iPhone and win. Sure, the iPhone 4 had much larger sales numbers, but a majority of the...

  • Those lucky reporters over at Engadget have got their hands on the G2, which will come out on T-Mobile on October 6th. In case you have no idea what the G2 is, it is the American variant of the new Desire Z. From what they have posted, it is going to be, “…T-Mobile’s most solid Android phone yet”. Lets take a look at what Engadget Reporter Joanna Stern thought about the G2.  Hardware / screen: Just like our very proper English counterparts, we found the overall build of the G2 to be superb. At 6.5 ounces it does feel a bit heavy, but if that’s the sacrifice we’ve got to make for...

  • Best Buy announced that it is trying out a new program today called “Free Phone Fridays”. This program will run through the month of October and Best Buy will offer a new free phone every Friday from 4 of the major US carriers. So what phone are they offering right now, well none other then the Samsung Fascinate for Verizon. The only catch in all of this is that to get a free phone you do have to sign a new contract. But hey you are getting a phone for free. Hopefully next week we will see a Droid device. Each phone will be announced on Thursday before 1PM central...

  • Looks like Verizon has managed to get Bing onto another Android powered smart phone. The Boy Genius Report (BGR) just got these images in of the HTC ADR6325 or as it is believed to be called the HTC Merge or the Lexicon, we will stick with Merge for now. Anyhow, we have been drooling over this phone for a couple months now and every image we get makes us want to get all over that awesome keyboard. This is also believed to be the CDMA version of the Desire Z (G2) for Verizon. The Merge is going to be a dual mode phone better known as a Global phone, this...
