Motorola has just released a promotional video detailing the unique functions and features of the Motorola CLIQ. Though we don't really learn anything new (we've already known the CLIQ was going to be social network heavy), it's nice to see the entire feature set fall into place. Though the heavy social networking emphasis may not apply to all Android users, we at Android Central love...
Orange UK has announced that they'll release the Motorola DEXT (what we know as the Motorola CLIQ) in early October for the low, no price of free. Though us Android users in the US have no official time frame for launch and any idea of price, Orange UK customers will be glad to know that if you sign up for a new 2-year contract with applicable plan (£34.26/month, ~$56/month), you'll...
T-Mobile just dropped the price of the T-Mobile G1, a device that's still near and dear to our hearts, to $129.99. If you've been following the riveting tale of price drops on the G1, it launched at $179.99 then lowered to $149.99 and is now at $129.99. T-Mobile is probably trying to move as many G1s as they can (with the CLIQ coming out) and though we appreciate the price drop,...
We had known that Orange UK was going to be a carrier for the HTC Hero a month ago, now we know the cost of the HTC Hero on Orange: FREE. Of course a qualifying rate plan is necessary in order to receive the HTC Hero for free (new customer, 2 year contract, £40 a month plan should do the trick). We've always been intrigued on how carriers do business outside of the US, if their business...
Aw, would you look at that. One big happy, big-chinned family. T-Mobile UK has renamed the HTC Hero the G1 Touch (falling in line with previous reports) and though the name is admittedly lame and a year outdated, it's always good to strengthen the brand name of the G1. Like Orange UK, the G1 Touch will be available starting mid-July for the low cost of FREE (new customer, 2 year...
This was to be expected. After Google gave away free HTC Magics aka the Google Ion at Google I/O, people were bound to put this special edition, possibly Android Dev Phone 2 onto eBay. Users hit quick and capitalized on the lack of an official US HTC Magic to maximize profit--it seems that more than a few people are looking to make a quick buck rather than incorporate a wonderful...
Google just gave away free Android phones for those who attended Google I/O 2009! Congratulations if you were lucky enough to be a part of the 4,000 or so attendees! The free Android phone is not a regular Android Dev Phone 1 but rather a Dev Phone version of the HTC Magic! Considering that the HTC Magic isn't even an 'official' phone in the USA, we think you guys hit the jackpot! The...
If you want to buy a T-Mobile G1, there looks to be no better place than at Amazon. Why? Because they're selling the T-Mobile G1 for $82 off the normal price! For just $97.99 (with new 2 year contract) you can get yourself a T-Mobile G1 while other customers (suckers) buy it for $179.99. This is a pretty amazing deal, if you ask us. One hangup though, Amazon is only offering the Black...
One of T-Mobile's flagship offerings is their MyFaves feature which allows free calling to a certain amount of people on any network. It's a fairly popular aspect of T-Mobile and according to some customers, it is now being offered (for a limited time only, of course) as a free add-on! We're not sure about the exact specifics necessary in your rate plan, length of contract, etc. in...
Have you guys run into this problem yet? Gizmodo is reporting that certain apps in the Android Market are posing as free but actually pulling a bait and switch on you to get you to pay for the apps. How are they doing this? Well, they put up the app on the Market for free and after you download it, the app's sole purpose is to link you to their website where you can buy the actual app....
