Samsung Galaxy S to All Four Major Carriers? | AndroidGuys
A Royal Flush For The Samsung Galaxy S? ? Forbes.com's Velocity

Other reports have this as a GSM phone only, not to mention Samsung has a terrible history with bad smartphones. Oh and it may cost $500-100. :lol:

What I will say is that the screen does look better at handling reflections like they claimed. Notice the reflections when both phones are set down.

I avoid samsung phones like the plague. My buddy has one on sprint, the moment I believe, and gets about 8 hours of battery life, he uses his phone less than I use mine and I get like a full 24 out of an overclocked, modded droid running 7 screens worth of widgety goodness.

I ordered my Incredible by phone the afternoon of the 19th. It has already shipped and I should get it tomorrow. The rumor is that Verizon hired a 3rd party company to help handle all of the phone traffic and they just started sending stuff out.

Breaking: Blackberry Joins Android! : leakdroid.com

This just came in Blackberry has joined the open handset alliance “Android” RIM has officially dump it’s Blackberry-OS and all new Blackberry devices will be ship out with Google’s Android-OS. We didn’t see this one coming but it’s official.

Noooo not really this is not true! Apparently the guys from Bestbuy got mess up with their advertising and added a Android logo on their blackberry ads. How in the world did the managers did not notice this? Looks like the employees and managers, supervisors are total noobs. I thought their mobile employees knew what they were selling. Just a big WOW.

This is a bummer, while the incredible has better hardware, the N1 came completely unlocked and you could root from within the package, also, the Incredible runs Sense UI, which is a bit of a memory hog.

[UPDATE] Google Nexus One No Longer Coming To Verizon, Get An Incredible Instead | Android Phone Fans

We’re not sure if this was just to hold people over until Verizon finally adopts the Nexus One, or if they are replacing it with the introduction of their HTC Droid Incredible altogether, but Google’s phone storefront urges interested customers to pick up the Nexus One’s “cousin” instead of getting a Nexus One.

For Verizon’s network, you can buy the Droid Incredible by HTC, a powerful Android phone and similarly feature-packed cousin of the Nexus One.

While some may argue that the Incredible is a lot more desirable than the Nexus One itself, I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be some left in the bunch that wants that specific piece of hardware. Have you already made this move yourself without Google’s suggestion?

[Thanks, jkOnTheRun]

[Update]: We’ve contacted Verizon to clear up the issue on whether or not the Nexus One will ever be available. We’ll update you if we hear anything.

[Update]: Google was the first to step up with a response regarding our concerns: the Nexus One will no longer be headed to Verizon Wireless.

How does the stock model compare to the droid in terms of being unlocked and rootable?

Does this just mean we'll have to wait longer for someone to 'jailbreak' it?

That's basically what it means. Since the hardware is similiar to the N1, Cyanogen and the like will be easily ported, but someone will have to find a hack to gain superuser access to the system. It took about 3 weeks to do that on the Droid, a lot longer on the Eris, though there wasn't nearly as much interest, time will tell.

Mysterious Motorola MT820 poses for a long, leisurely spy shoot
By Sean Hollister posted Apr 26th 2010 at 5:59PM

4-26-10-motomt820.jpg.png


Two in one week -- Two leaked Chinese Motorola phones with Android and transparent MOTOMING-like flip covers, that is. However, this one's a little more exciting. Dubbed the Moto MT820, this sleek handset's got a full leaked gallery of nice, clear images courtesy Chinese forum HiAPK, and word has it this might be the first device to make use of the dual-screen 3D patent Motorola applied for early this month. Actual facts are a little more scarce, though spy shots show a front-facing camera, physical home, power, volume and camera buttons, and a microSD slot hidden inside the back cover. Oh, and that spiral G3 logo? That means this particular device is destined for China Mobile's TD-SCDMA network. See all the spicy pics at our more coverage link.
