Motorola Motoroi likely destined for T-Mobile

This is still a ways away from official, but it's looking more likely that the Motorola Motoroi (aka the Sholes Tablet) will be headed for T-Mobile USA. Exhibit A: The above whoopsie from Motorola that at one point had the Sholes Tablet coming to T-Mobile USA. And Exhibit B: The below shot out of the FCC that apparently shows the Sholes Tablet using T'Mo's 3G bands. About the only thing missing now? An actual announcement from Motorola or T-Mobile. Stay tuned, folks. [via CellPhoneSignal]

Maybe it's the Supersonic, maybe it isn't

We're drawing lines between dots here but aren't quite coming up with a picture yet. Above is a screen shot obtained by the Boy Genius Report and posted for "informational purposes" (meaning they aren't all that sure about it either) that shows what might be the "HTC Supersonic" running on T-Mobile with Android 3.0. That said, let's consider the following:
- The "Supersonic" name has also been attached to the A9292, which appeared on a leaked Sprint inventory roster, not T-Mobile.
- The A9292 is listed as a WiMAX device. It seems a bit early for T-Mobile to be prepping a WiMAX phone.
- The model number is listed as the "HTC Supersonic." Emphasis ours. Maybe we're reaching here, but the Nexus One model number is merely "Nexus One," not "HTC Nexus One." Same for the Droid. It's just "Droid," not "Motorola Droid." Maybe something, maybe nothing.
- Android 3.0? Already?
Those are a whole lot of ifs. So maybe this is real; maybe it's not. It's way too early to tell.

HTC patches 911 glitch in Rogers' Magic and Dream Android phones

You may now safely use GPS on your Rogers Magic and Dream. HTC has issued a fix for the problem that left 911 calls unreliable due to a bug in the GPS. The fix at the time was to turn off GPS, which is kinda a popular feature these days, if you hadn't heard.
HTC turned around the patch just a week since Rogers went public (though some say the issue has been known much longer). This is a mandatory update. Rogers isn't kidding about it. If you don't update your phone, Rogers will turn off your Internet access on Sunday, Jan. 24, until you do update. Here's the full statement:
“A mandatory software update is now available for Rogers HTC Dream and Magic customers to ensure 911 calls can be completed on these devices. These customers need to go immediately to http://www.rogers.com/dreamsoftwareupdate or http://www.rogers.com/magicsoftwareupdate on a PC to download the update. Users of Windows 7 or Macintosh will need to call 1-888-Rogers1 for update instructions. Customers will need to backup any personal items before the update process.
Oh, and to sweeten the deal, Rogers says “You will be compensated automatically for this inconvenience with a credit of one month of data fees." Also, included in the update for the Magic is a new version of the Sense UI that includes multitouch. [via MobileSyrup]

Europe gearing up for Xperia X10

Looks like our pals across the pond are getting closer to having the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (see our hands-on) in their hands. First we have the above Vodafone product material. No word on when it's dropping. Our tipster says sometimes getting the material in store means "very soon," and other times it doesn't.
Then there's O2, which briefly listed the Xperia X10 as a phone for which it would have accessories. O2 later took it back, telling CoolSmartPhone "We currently haven’t announced any involvement with the X10 and so our web team will be removing this listing shortly." Whoopsie. So either that's a true mistake (doubtful), or we'll be seeing the X10 there soon enough.

Motorola says no OTA update being pushed to the Droid

Throwing a wrench into some of the discussions in our forums and here on the site, Motorola took to Twitter today to say that it hasn't pushed out an update for the Motorola Droid since the December update, which we take to mean the Android 2.0.1 update. So what's the deal? And, more important, when will we see the Android 2.1 update hit? (Thanks, Jeremy!)
Update: Apparently all you pitchfork-wielding Motorola fans have spurred another comment from @MotoMobile:

HTC releases source code for Sprint Hero; ROM cookers rejoice

Sprint ROM cookers are foaming at the mouth this morning as HTC has released the source code for the Sprint Hero. That means better ROMs, built from the same zeros and ones as HTC. It likely won't contain every line of code you'll find in an official Hero ROM, as close-sourced code doesn't have to be released. But it's already been compiled, and ROMs are cooking as we speak.

Meet the new myTouch 3G -- same as the old myTouch 3G


Welp, there it is. The updated T-Mobile myTouch 3G Version 1.2. Looks just like the current one, save for the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a welcome addition. Actually, there are rumors that there's more RAM on board (the current myTouch 3G has 512MB ROM/192MB RAM), but we'll have to wait and see on that. Still looking for an early February launch.
