HTC has added two additional flavors of EVO 3D to its bootloader unlocking site, following in the footsteps of the Sprint version, which become unlockable last month. If you own an unbranded European EVO 3D, or a Rogers-branded device in Canada, then you can begin your quest by using the web tool over on the HTCDev site.

Unlocking your bootloader will allow you to monkey around with custom firmware and the like, though you'll void your warranty by doing so, even if you use the official HTC unlocking tools. Still interested? Hit the link below to begin.

With the long weekend now over, it's time to get rolling again in full effect, and that's exactly what we've done. Both here, on the blogs and in the forums -- if you can't get enough Android goodness here on the blogs, make sure you jump into the Android Central forums and hop on a soap-box.

• Verizon Droid Charge Forums - New Gingerbread leak EP1W
• Nexus Prime Forums - When do YOU think the Nexus Prime will release on Sprint?
• HTC EVO 3D Forums - NFL Mobile on the EVO 3D?
• Sprint Nexus S 4G - VVM may be a reality for us soon!

O2 UK's "coming soon" page has been updated to feature Samsung's upcoming mid-range Android offering, the Galaxy W. The Galaxy W arrives as part of Sammy's new smartphone namimg strategy, which sees devices tagged with a different letter to demote where they fit in the manufacturer's line-up. Targeted at mainstream smartphone buyers, the Galaxy W is powered by a 1.4 GHz single-core CPU, and ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Samsung's latest TouchWiz 4.0. Other highlights include a 3.7-inch SLCD display and 5-megapixel rear camera.

Three UK was the first British network to announce the Galaxy W in late August. Like Three, O2 expects to start shipping Galaxy Ws out to customers later this month.

If you needed yet another reason why the Android Central Forums are, in fact, the bast damn Android community around, look no further than member bworley50. You might remember him from his recent Droid Bionic review, and now he's back with not one, not two, but some two dozen videos of the Motorola Droid Bionic.

His "My Bionic" thread has become something of a new legend, and at the time of this writing it's topped out at nearly 80 pages. But if you're at all interested in what to expect when the DB is finally released this week, you're going to want to read them.

And we've compiled bworley's video after the break, so check 'em out. Very well done, sir. Very. Well. Done.

Vodafone UK customers can now bag a Samsung Galaxy S II in white from the carrier's website, as well as brick-and-mortar stores. Vodafone joins Three and the Carphone Warehouse, which also recently began offering Samsung's flagship device in white, alongside the standard black. Just like the black version, the white Galaxy S II can be yours for free on 24-month contracts of £36 or more per month. At that price, you'll get 900 minutes, unlimited texts and a 750MB data allowance.

Rival UK carriers O2 and Everything Everywhere (T-Mobile/Orange) expect to launch the white Galaxy S II later this month.

Astute Android Central readers will recall the phone you see above as the Samsung SCH-i405, which we first brought you a full picture of way back in July, looking very much like an LTE version of Sprint's Epic 4G. And now it's back in a clearer render form, pretty much looking how we last left it, only now going by its "Stratosphere" name.

No real change in specs, so far as we unofficially know. You're likely still looking at a 4-inch(ish) slider with what our original tipster believed may be a Super AMOLED Plus screen (or maybe it's just the shine of a qHD resolution), with about 2GB of storage, a 5MP camera on the back and 1.3MP shooter on the rear. Plus it's got 4G LTE data. Huzzah.

Then there's there's the Pantech Breakout, seen here at right. That's another one we broke the news on a week or so ago. It's got a 4-inch display at the usual 480x800 res, with a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 390 MB of internal storage and an 8GB microSD card. It's got a 5MP shooter on the back and a VGA camera up front. It's also a 4G LTE device, serving as a mobile hotspot for up to 10 devices. It's rocking a custom skin atop Android 2.3.

Still no official word on when either of these could be launched.

British online retailer Clove Technology is first to reveal details of pricing and availability for the Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc S, which was announced last week at IFA in Berlin. According to an entry on its blog, Clove will sell the Arc S for £350 SIM-free, with units expected to start shipping out on Sept. 26. Clove will initially stock the Arc S in "pure white" and "midnight blue".

The Xperia Arc S is a minor hardware refresh, with a faster 1.4 GHz CPU compared to the 1 GHz chip in the original. Sony Ericsson says the more advanced CPU brings 25% faster camera start-up time, 20% faster web rendering and improved battery life. All welcome changes as far as we're concerned.

You can find pre-order links for both flavors of Arc S over at the source link.

Here's a great demo of the drawing capabilities on the Samsung Galaxy Note, that gianormous 5.3-inch uber-drawing/notetaking smartphone. Of course, you're going to need some sort of artistic talent to begin with, but you get a sense of how detailed you can get with the stylus. Check it out after the break.
