Motorola Milestone Now Available on Telus

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 16 February 2010

 

Rejoice Canada. The Motorola Milestone is finally officially available on Telus! It's going to be interesting to see if the Milestone can take off in Canada without having the marketing push that Verizon had with the Droid. We're definitely hopeful because even with new Android devices around, the...

Motorola Devour Launching at the end of February ?

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 09 February 2010

 

With so many phones getting delayed these days, it's refreshing to see a phone manufacturer actually try and beat their release date. The Motorola Devour is rumored to do just that. Originally expected to hit stores sometime in March, the Devour might actually launch a couple of days earlier and be available on...

Casey Chan News Friday, 22 January 2010

 

Hey hey! Even though Google and China are having a little standoff, with Google even going as far as delaying 2 Android phones in China, it looks like the Lenovo LePhone will carry on business as usual. It's set to release in May of this year...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Releasing January 18th ?

Casey Chan News Monday, 14 December 2009

 

Previously rumored for release on February 10th, it looks like the highly anticipated Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 could beat that launch date by nearly a month. Play.com is pegging the release date of the Xperia X10 for January 18th 2010. Play.com is a UK-based retailer so it's still unclear when (or if ever) the Xperia X10 will hit the States. Only our...

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 27 October 2009

 

Don't get jealous. HTC has made the HTC Sense UI available to the HTC Magic...in Taiwan. The custom Sense UI which makes the HTC Hero the best Android phone currently on the market is now available to Chunghwa Telecom customers with an HTC Magic. There's really no telling when (if, ever) HTC Sense will roll out to Magics around the world but if it does happen, the...

Motorola Droid aka Tao aka Sholes Launching October 30th ?

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 06 October 2009

 

BGR just got a leaked Verizon Release Calendar that points the release date for the Motorola Droid aka Tao aka Sholes as October 30th. As in the end of this month. Whoa. To play it safe, the leaked Calendar suggests that October 30th is really the 'target' release date so we don't know how on track Verizon and Motorola currently are but a Verizon...

Casey Chan News Thursday, 01 October 2009

 

It's official folks. The Android 1.6 'Donut' update is rolling out to T-Mobile G1 and myTouch 3G devices as we speak. The update will be pushed out to users over-the-air by T-Mobile. We're glad the 'Donut' rollout went a lot smoother than the 'Cupcake' update, maybe Android and T-Mobile are getting the hang of this. Either way, be sure to let us know when you receive the 'Donut' update!

HTC Click Expected to Release Q4 2009

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 18 August 2009

 

We've seen the HTC Click before, it's HTC's low-end Android phone intended for the mass market. We weren't exactly blown away by the Click's design but it certainly looked good enough to use and if it were to be offered at a low, low price (read: free) we might even love to use it....

Panasonic Android Device Possibly Coming in 2010 ?

Casey Chan News Tuesday, 26 May 2009

 

We weren't really aware of Panasonic Phones here in the US, in fact we pretty much had no idea they dabbled in the cell phone market (we're assuming they're big in Asia?). So it took us as bit of a surprise when Panasonic announced that they're interested in incorporating Android into some of their phones, especially since they said Panasonic Android phones can come as early as 2010. I guess when it comes to Android, everybody wants a piece.

Casey Chan News Friday, 15 May 2009

We're getting some great commentary from our readers over at the old "Have You Got Cupcake Yet?" post that went up a week ago. For the most part, everyone is still waiting to receive the goodness that is Cupcake (we are too). We've been assured that it's rolling out and a rough "schedule" (if you can even call it that) has been revealed. As follows:

Samsung I7500 Gets Confirmed In Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark

Casey Chan News Friday, 01 May 2009

 

We know you want the Samsung I7500 because we want it badly too. Unfortunately for us, there aren't any details on a US launch date (or carrier, at that) so we'll have to continue twiddling our thumbs waiting for T-Mobile, Sprint, or maybe even Verizon to step up to the plate and claim this

What a glorious day. After months and months of waiting, T-Mobile is beginning to push out Android 1.5 aka Cupcake to G1 users in the US and UK. After seeing Cupcake made available to Android Dev Phone users we knew that it'd only be time for it to reach us regular G1 folk. No longer will we have to ...

HTC Magic Coming to Italy's TIM

Casey Chan News Monday, 27 April 2009

 

Oh yes! Italians can get in on the Android HTC Magic fun! Italy's TIM has put up a website for the HTC Magic for a low, low (read: high, high) price of €449 which is roughly $595 (yowza!). But hey, we're sure some people are willing to pay that hefty price to get their hands on the Second Android Device.

No launch date is posted so who knows when this is releasing but at least it's better than being left in the dark like us T-...

Casey Chan News Friday, 03 April 2009

We had previously pegged the release date of the HTC Magic on Vodafone UK around April but new reports are pushing the date back to May 1st. So in a month's time you can expect the Second Android Device to be finally released! And *only* 8 months after the first Android Device! *sarcasm*

Another day, another rumored release date for the much anticipated HTC Dream. Our previous report of a September 23rd release date has now been replaced by a WSJ report claiming that the actual release date will be closer to "late October". Which makes a wee bit more sense, that September 23rd deadline was right around the corner.
