Although O2 (New York Stock Exchange: TEF)’s launching of the HTC Desire mightiness be postponed to mid-May, U.S. Cellular won’t be too far behind, saying that we can expect the Android 2.1 beast in July.  U.S. Cellular had previously announced the phone, but apparently folks were acquiring it mixed up with the Droid Eris. Hera’s what U.S. Cellular had to say:

Hungry for more Android information? How about a peek at some spectacles for the gorgeous HTC Desire including a 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen exhibit, 5 MP photographic camera with LED flash bulb, Wi-Fi, Global Positioning System, Android Market and an 8 GB microSD circuit board. How about newsworthiness of a launching appointment around July? We’ll need to shuffle sure our rigorous examination is complete before you can get your custody on this sweetness phone. Stay tuned here for more exclusive Android updates!

It’s looking to be a beaut, second only to the HTC Incredible. No price distributor point yet, but considering whatchamacallit like the Evo volition be going for $200 on contract bridge, it wouldn’t be too much to expect this unity at $150 or less.

Now this is interesting. HTC has just filed a new slider phone for examination at the FCC. Not much is known about the gimmick, but by look at the available buttons on the earphone, it could very wellspring be an Android gimmick. Let’s promise so, since the last HTC Android device with a full QWERTY keyboard was the G1, and expression it’s dated is an understatement when you grasp it against the likes of some of HTC’s newer devices.

The device could be hit AT&T (NYSE: T), or some Canadian River carriers if or when it’s released. The only name we have for it at the moment is the PC70110, its model number. The little we do know is that it supports WiFi and Bluetooth. Nothing amazing there, as they’re expected in smartphones today. Judging from the picture, the gimmick may have the almost criterion 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen found on nearly all Android devices. There is what looks like an oblong optical trackpad below the capacitive home, menu, back and hunt buttons.

It’s an interesting look phone. Nothing extravagant about it, just a simpleton yellow-bellied terrapin. The sister amobarbital sodium trim along the keyboard has got to go though.

Knowing HTC, I would not be surprised if the gimmick will come in various colours. I would be surprised if this baby had a Snapdragon mainframe in it though. If I was to give my best guesswork, this device whitethorn have the same internals as the Legend, which is nonentity to complain about. If this indeed does twist out to be a (somewhat) lower berth remainder device, I definitely see the logical system. HTC is throwing out unity high-remainder smartphone after another. Nexus One, HD2, Droid Incredible, Desire, Evo 4G, all are shucks powerful phones with big screens.

Looks like they’re mix it up a act, and I’m very curious about this device. We’ll keep you up to date as we find out more. Who’s ready to spring up their G1?

Motorola is sending out a much-needed microcode update to the CLIQ, addressing many issues. To what extent, we’re not sure, but this MotorBlur gimmick needed some kind of updating. Unfortunately it’s not the Android 2.1 update everyone has been hoping for.

T-Mobile (New York Stock Exchange: DT)’s first base Motorola (NYSE: MOT test) Android gimmick whitethorn not be the best phone you tin get on the land’s 4th largest aircraft carrier, but it’s still a nice device. If you can get over the limping of MotoBlur, that is. The new update is said to address quite a few issues that have been bugging owners of the device since the start. The update includes bettor battery life, improved touching screen sensitivity, faster GPS, bettor audio frequency quality for calls, and more. So far, we oasis’t heard from anyone who has received the update yet, nor do we know if the update addresses the issues completely. It’s not clear if the device will motivation another update for all issues to be ironed out, but anything is better than nothing!

Right now, if I were to base on balls into a T-Mobile computer storage and was looking to buy an Android device, it would be a pretty tough call option whether to pick the CLIQ, or the MyTouch 3G. The CLIQ has a keyboard, and a directional lodgings that is placed on the left, which appeals to me for using emulators, like NESoid. On the other helping hand, the MyTouch 3G looks nicer to me boilersuit in my ruling, and has a much wider dev pedestal, with many different ROMs available to it I could hack my way through. And, you know, no MotoBlur on the MT3G is a big summation.

With news of this update advent down the pipes, it would shuffle the determination that much harder. But I think I’ll spliff with my Nexus One.

A full leaning of the update is below:

Relocated “End Call”Improved Text MessagingImproved Battery LifeImproved Touch Screen SensitivityImproved Audio Quality for CallsImproved MOTOBLUR Seth-Up ScreenBetter Audio RoutingImproved Caller NotificationFaster GPSSupport For Additional Windows Media Formats CompatibleBluetooth ImprovementsSIM Card ManagementAdditional StabilityThe Latest Versions of Google (NSDQ: GOOG)Updated Quickoffice

Glad to see Motorola has their users’ backs, and push out updates to improve their user experience. For anyone who has the Cliq, and has received the update, how’s it treating you? Let us know if the comments below!

android_smartphones_unveiled.html’ title=’New HTC Legend and HTC Desire Android Smartphones Unveiled’>Google is trying to shuffle it easier to find what you’re look for on Android, iPhone and webOS by including universal joint hunt features into Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Suggest.

This will provide more information on your potential interrogation in the drop-down box. Why would you wish this?

“For example, let’s say you’re flight to London and wish to know: Is my flight on meter? Or what is the exchange pace of the hammer? As you type the escape “Ba 284″ or “Usd in pounds”, the answers ar provided right below the hunt loge, without having to wait for the results varlet,” Google said in its mobile web log.

Go right field ahead to google.com for this feature but this seems kind of useless on my Droid. I just hit the softkey on the home page whenever I need to do a hunt.

AT&T wasn’t prime quantity on releasing a draw of selective information on the device quite yet. The pre-CTIA press releases went out (they announced a brace of other devices, too) and they clasp just enough selective information to whet our palettes, and that’s about it. We can guess, though. For exercise, the Aero probably has a 3.5-in 640×360 touchscreen, a 3MP auto-focus photographic camera with flash, and Bluetooth. It’s got Global Positioning System, and we’re hoping that wireless local area network gets strapped on before the functionary release of the device. AT&ere;T also confirmed that they worked with Dell directly to hide the Android Operating System, so we should see some new whatchamacallit with the software system.

When is that, exactly? We regard we knew. Hopefully it’s soon. What’s more likely, and what we should expect, is that in the next few days we’ll get a draw more selective information about this gimmick from AT&ere;T, as they make their rounds through CTIA. We volition stay on top of all the info, so arrest with us. Don’t get lost now. You wouldn’t wish to miss the important whatchamacallit.

Instead of it organism an Over the Air (OTA) update, it looks like you’re going to rich person to manipulation PC Studio 7 (which came on a disc with the gimmick) in order to get the update. Not a huge trade, but still, we like our things delivered to us. (Where’s that silver platter!?)

So, here’s the trade: You’re getting no less than nine (9!) screens, which you tin obviously variety up as much as you want, with whatever widgets you so desire.

As for the update itself, it’s rolling out in Federal Republic of Germany first base in March, and then gradually rolled out to the rest of the countries where the Spica is available.
