ARTICLE: Apple selling AT&T-locked iPhones off contract

Word is spreading quickly across the blogosphere that the iPhone is now available contract free. I’m sure everyone’s first thoughts are “great now I can get an iPhone on T-Mobile.” Unfortunately, even though the devices will not require any service contract with AT&T, they are still locked to AT&T’s network and that means you’d have to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone (at your own risk) in order to get it working with a T-Mobile SIM card.
The price for an iPhone 3GS off contract is $499 for the 8GB variant, $599 for the 16GB, and $699 for the 32GB phone. It’s interesting that Apple is deciding to do this now, especially since the Nexus One just became available (or announced for the near future) on all four major US carriers.
Who’s going to buy a contract-free iPhone tonight? Sound off below!

ARTICLE: AT&T announces Dell Aero Android smartphone

Yep, looks like the Android-powered Dell smartphone rumors were correct. After months of speculation, AT&T today announced the Dell Aero, Dell’s first Android-powered smartphone. Billed in “coming soon” status, the details are surprisingly sparse at the moment – though the press release mentions a custom user interface of some sort. As AT&T’s second Android smartphone, I hope it’s not bogged down with AT&T bloatware and foolish requirements (Backflip, anyone?).
The Dell Aero portion of the press release is below. What do you say – the Dell Aero, or the AT&T version of the Nexus One?
AT&T also will soon unveil an Android-based smartphone the Dell Aero. This will be Dell’s first smartphone available in the U.S., and will feature a new, beautiful custom user interface developed by Dell and AT&T. To learn more about the Dell Aero, visit www.att.com/aero.

We’re looking forward to bringing these benefits to customers who choose one of the Palm smartphones or the exclusive Dell Aero.”

ARTICLE: AT&T announces Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus

Who said Palm was going down without a fight? Sure, they’ve had their share of financial troubles as of late, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t play in the same field as the big boys.

The Pixi Plus will cost $49.99 and the Pre Plus will cost $149.99, both after mail-in rebate and new two-year agreement.

ARTICLE: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Hands-On Impressions
Sony Ericsson’s first Android smartphone, the Xperia X10, arrived at my office Saturday – a day late, courtesy of FedEx. I’ve had a little less than two days now with this unlocked version of the device, and have been using it on AT&T’s 3G network. Read on for my first impressions. Unboxing video coming soon – it’s a long story, but I made some dumb errors while editing the vid, posted it, took it down, and re-edited. Now it’s ready to upload, but as I’m at the airport awaiting my flight to Vegas for CTIA, I can’t find a fast enough uplink to get the file up to the cloud. Oh, the travails of modern workflife.
All in all X10 is a nice device that could be very, very nice but suffers from some quirks and minor lags. Sony’s custom user interface, comprised primarily of their Timescape and Mediascape apps, is nice but feels less revolutionary now than it looked when the X10 was first previewed some months ago. While the phone is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, it lags while loading certain apps – likely due to a combination of the outdated Android OS 1.6 platform and the network intensive nature of Timescape.
– Call quality is pretty good so far, but the earpiece seems kind of quiet. Voices on the other end of calls have been clear but low-volume; I had to crank the volume all the way up, and at that point could hear the plastic chassis of the X10 vibrating ever so slightly during a call.
– Battery life has been fairly solid, but I’m concerned about drain from Timescape connecting to Twitter, Facebook (and MySpace, if I used MySpace) to pull updates. Timescape is easily adjustable, though, to limit automatic network updates or turn them off entirely.
– The 4″ display is very nice to look at. I’m convinced that 3.7″ (Nexus One and Droid) is now the absolute minimum size for a high-end smartphone, and 4″+ is the wave of the future. X10’s size nicely splits the difference between smaller devices and the slate-like enormity of the HTC HD2.
– While X10’s display is capacitive touch, I’m finding it less responsive than best-in-breed touchscreens like iPhone, Nexus One, and Droid. I don’t know if it’s hardware, software, or a combination of both, but simple button taps aren’t always registering for me.
– That said, when the system works, it’s fluid and graceful. Kinetic scrolling is nice, SE’s visual design is classy and geeky all at once, and photos look great on the 854 x 480 high-res screen.
– Mediascape is a really nice music app – perhaps the best music player to hit Android to date. The Web tie-ins to your local music library are nice (Web search, YouTube search, etc), but what I really like are the graceful but information-filled views offered while browsing your media library and playing individual tracks.
– Timescape is kinda neat, but much more suited to the casual social networking user than the power tweeter or Facebook fiend. Think of it as a much easier to view – if slightly less powerful – Motoblur. While it’s nifty to see my contacts’ photos along with their latest status updates or messages, I quickly moved the Timescape widget off of my main home screen panel and installed a proper Twitter client to better suit my needs.
– My X10 came with both the Android Keyboard and something called “Standard Keyboard” pre-installed. Neither is very satisfying. While two-thumbed typing in widescreen mode is pretty nice thanks to the huge 4″ display, the keyboard itself suffers from some strange design decisions. Comma and period deserve dedicated buttons, no? Luckily, it’s super easy to install a keyboard replacement on Android.
– The device comes with a Sony Ericsson stereo headset but won’t work with any of the third party headsets I’ve tried. Both my Etymotics and a pair of Shures I’m reviewing balked during calls and music playback – something about the “iPhone compatible” connector plug doesn’t jibe with the structure of the X10’s headphone jack. Standard headphones (without inline microphone) work fine with the phone, however.
– I tried the 8.1 MP camera briefly yesterday and results were pretty good given the harsh lighting conditions. Video quality seemed quite good. I’ll try to upload some shots later today.
– No word on possible upgrade paths to Android 2.1. I’ll check in with Sony Ericsson this week.
More coming soon – I’ve got the X10 in hand for the trip to CTIA.

ARTICLE: Aaron’s Motorola Devour Review
Overview
What’s Good: Unibody construction cuts down on potential build quality issues.
What’s Bad: Ships with Android OS 1.6; MOTOBLUR can be tricky and confusing at times; optical navigation frustrating at times.
Introduction

Motorola is back with the Devour, the third Android-powered device to land on Verizon Wireless. Originally spotted in Megan Fox’s bathtub during Super Bowl 2010, the phone is available at retail locations across the United States. The question that’s in every technology person’s mind, however, is: will the unit sell, given how close the company’s flagship Android device (the DROID) is in regards to price?
Design & Features

The Motorola Devour ships in a small, environmentally conscious box. Inside, you’ll find the device, battery, an AC adapter, USB cable (which doubles as the charging cord), an 8 GB microSD card (installed in phone, with support for up to 32 GB), and instruction manuals. Coming in at 4.55 inches long by 2.4 inches wide by 0.61 inch thick, the device weighs 6.35 ounces, making it a heavier smartphone. When it comes to the general size, the Devour is much larger than it looks in pictures. It’s not as brash looking as the DROID, but you can tell that the two devices come from the same “family.”

The left side of the Devour contains the battery door and microUSB charging port, while the volume rocker and camera button can be found on the right side of the device. The front of the device contains the screen, three touch buttons (menu, home, and back), the optical navigation pad, and the camera can be found on the back of the device. Slide the screen to the right to obtain access to the full QWERTY keyboard.

The device offers a 3.1-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with 65,536 colors and 320 x 480 pixels. At first glance, the Devour’s display is of lower quality (and smaller) than those found on the DROID and Nexus One, but it’s acceptable. Despite the smaller screen, it’s quite responsive and was a pleasure to use. The hinge is spring-loaded and clicks into place quite easily, though there was some play in my hinge. The winning feature on the Devour, however, is the unibody construction; gone are the days of wobbly battery doors and squeaking parts. The Devour has a beautiful metal body, and the battery and microSD card can be accessed from a side port.
Usability & Performance

The Devour sports a 600 MHz CPU, and while it suffered from the occasional lag, speed was generally good. From multitasking to general performance, everything felt relatively snappy. The device ships with Android 1.6, and Motorola’s MOTOBLUR custom user interface. MOTOBLUR is an interesting animal, and I’ll be honest – I’m not a huge fan. On one hand, I like the concept of being able to organize everything in one place, but on the other hand, BLUR feels way too busy. I placed the device in the hands of several “BLUR” newbies, and after ten minutes of use, both were quite confused with how to operate the phone. If you so desire, you can customize, add, and remove the widgets to your liking, so there’s something you can do if the colors, text, and imagery becomes a blur (pun intended).

Sporting a full QWERTY keyboard, the Devour is ready for serious messaging. The keys are raised and curved slightly, making it relatively easy to feel them, but they’re a bit too squishy for my liking. As such, I’ve found myself using the on-screen keyboard more than the physical QWERTY. This is probably where I’ll disagree with every other journalist in the tech sphere, but I prefer the DROID’s keyboard to the Devour’s keyboard, due to the DROID’s flat QWERTY configuration and non-separated keys. The optical navigation, while nice, wasn’t necessary for most of the day-to-day phone operations. What’s more, I found that it didn’t work that well unless you were in the browser. It didn’t seem like it was optimized for the menus. The buttons on the touchscreen operated well, with no issues whatsoever.

The Devour ships with a 3.0-megapixel camera, and in my testing, picture quality was mediocre and a bit grainy. Editing options include geotagging and color effects. The video camera quality was decent – good for quick clips to send to friends, but not for anything past that.
I tested the Devour in the Charlotte area, and call quality was mediocre. When I visited the Verizon dead spots in the city, most callers reported issues with hearing me, and I dropped several calls in service-challenged areas. Background static was present during conversations in the aforementioned areas. Despite those issues, I tested the speakerphone in a noisy gas station, and was able to hear my callers without a problem. While they were able to hear the background noise, it didn’t prevent us from having a conversation. I successfully paired my Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset to the device without a problem, and callers were unable to tell that I was using a headset.

Estimated talk time is 6.5 hours of talk time, and about 19 days of standby time. Overall, battery life was admirable. With moderate to heavy use including calling, text messaging, instant messaging, browsing the internet, and use of Google Maps, I was able to make it just over one day before the device powered down. I find it to be much better than other smartphones like the iPhone, Nexus One, and DROID.
The Motorola Devour offers 3G (EVDO) connectivity, so browsing speeds were very fast. The full CNN webpage loaded in about 18 seconds, and the PhoneDog homepage loaded in 26 seconds. Other data-intensive tasks such as Google Maps, the Android Market, Google Talk, and downloaded apps worked well. Though signal fluctuated on a regular basis, data speeds seemed to remain strong.
Conclusion

The Motorola Devour is a decent mid-level Android device that is a welcome addition to the Verizon lineup. It’s a bit pricey in the $99-$149 range, leading me to believe that customers will (and should) opt for the DROID instead. I like the Devour in a lot of ways, but I found myself longing for the DROID or Nexus One after a few hours. I found MOTOBLUR to be relatively confusing, and wasn’t a fan of the physical keyboard. That being said, it has a decent feature set and I love the unibody construction. If you’re a Verizon customer in the market for a Android-powered smartphone, the Devour is worthy of a look.

ARTICLE: Pantech and AT&T announce two new messaging devices

On the heels of two new Samsung Quick Messaging Devices, Pantech has announced two of their own (for AT&T, that is). The Link and the Pursuit both offer QWERTY keyboards, and will be available in “the coming weeks.” Pricing is unknown at this time, but the two phones come with new AT&T features such as Mobile Share, cloud-based address book syncing, and new messaging capabilities.
From the press release:
Pantech Link (pictured above) – An ultra slim and light, full keyboard quick messaging phone. Link’s contemporary design makes it one of the sharpest in the popular, bar-style family of handsets. With black and blue accents, Link provides direct access to a fun and sought-after range of features such as Mobile Email, instant messaging, AT&T Mobile Share, AT&T Social Net, AT&T Navigator and more. Link will be available in AT&T stores and online in the coming weeks.
Pantech Pursuit – Combining a full touch screen with a vertical sliding keyboard, the Pantech Pursuit plays host to a set of cool and unique features via shortcuts on Pantech’s first touch user interface for easy, customizable access to apps and features like AT&T Social Net, AT&T Address Book, and social networking sites. Available in the summer in green or blue, the Pursuit will also support face recognition software and geotagging to get the most out of your pictures.For those that aren’t gunning for a smartphone, do the new devices appeal to you?

ARTICLE: T-Mobile considering Clearwire for expansion of spectrum

Mergers, joint ventures, IPOs, oh my! Often when we hear the name T-Mobile and any of the aforementioned keywords (i.e. mergers, etc.), we automatically assume “this has got to be a rumor.” However, this time around Reuters brings some credibility to the table with quotes from an investors meeting where CEO Robert Dotson spoke.
The most recent rumors we’ve heard have been of T-Mobile merging with Sprint as well as the possibility of an IPO. However, potential joint ventures seems to be the name of the game today. “We continue to look at JV opportunities for additional spectrum… there are a number of different options we look at, (we) have been talking with cable companies, with Clearwire,” said Dotson. When the obvious question about merging with Sprint was brought up, Dotson replied as follows: “What you never want to do is take one company that is going through challenges and take another company going through challenges,” and put them together.
In the great race that is the US wireless industry, T-Mobile is running in fourth position. And while they are working tirelessly at standing up their 3G network across the US, they got a late start. Sprint has a leg up on the competition with their WiMax offerings and expected 4G capable phone around the corner, while Verizon is coming up from behind with LTE deployments planned for 25-30 markets by the end of this year. Increasing their spectrum could be a good move for T-Mobile both in terms of expanding their network and their 4G capabilities.
As usual, we’ll believe it when we see it, but at least we know they’re working on something. So, what do you think about a marriage between T-Mobile and Clear? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

ARTICLE: Verizon launching LG Cosmos VN250 on March 25th

In the wireless world, there’s nothing more exciting than new phone releases. The Samsung Intensity is getting up there in age, so it makes sense that Verizon would be looking at replacement options. The LG Cosmos VN250, which launches March 25th, offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 2.0-inch QVGA display, 1.3-megapixel camera, 2.5mm headphone jack, 1X connectivity, and a microSD card slot (with support for up to a 16 GB card). No word on pricing just yet, but my guess would be the $30-$60 range with a new two-year agreement.
I’ll give Verizon credit – despite the featurephone data plan requirement, it’s nice to know that they’re offering a few QWERTY-enabled options. For those that need a QWERTY option but don’t want to pay for an expensive data plan, the LG Cosmos is right up your alley. Anyone considering it when it launches next week?

ARTICLE: Rumor: Tmo is making a play for the iPhone
There have long been rumors from anonymous tipsters about the iPhone going here, or pundits guessing it could go there. This time, though, there’s actually a source. And it’s no less than Deutsche Telekom’s chief, Rene Obermann.
In an interview, Oberman mentioned a little something about T-mobile USA trying to land a deal with Apple to nab the iPhone for later this year or 2011. The exec wouldn’t get into any specifics though, and Cupertino, of course, was mum on the whole topic.
Not that there aren’t already scores of people using jailbroken and unlocked handsets on Tmo anyway, but this is good news for users who were looking for a more sanctioned way of toting the small “i.” And, may I add, the version of the device Magenta would be getting at that time would be the mythical “iPhone 4G.”
If you were crossing your fingers for a Verizon hook-up, this wouldn’t necessarily negate the possibility of Big Red getting it; the trouble of reworking the GSM handset for CDMA or LTE might do that. (That is, if Apple & VZW are even willing to put the tension and drama of the Droid-iPhone ad war behind them.) But who knows? There have been some pretty weird bedfellows in the mobile tech world lately, so there’s no telling how that could shake out.
iPhone fans, buckle up (haters too): Rumors always heat up around spring, and it’s only March now. This is already looking like it’ll be one heck of a season for gossip.
So if those crazy kids — Tmo and Apple — finally get official, how many of you are finally snagging the iPhone? Weigh in.

ARTICLE: Android Market hits 30k apps

These days, when measuring the success of a mobile platform, it’s not the size of the screen that matters, it’s the amount of apps in the market. This past December, Google claimed that the Android Market had reached around 16,000 apps. Now, only three months later, the official number is 30,000; a healthy rate of growth by any account.
When AT&T released the Motorola BACKFLIP in early March, a benchmark was reached that seems to have gone unmentioned: consumer access to Android devices from every major carrier in the US. What’s more, over the last few days it has become apparent that consumers will have access to Google’s Nexus One from any carrier of their choice – on or off contract (in some cases).
Next week at CTIA, it is expected that several, if not all of the US carriers will announce even more options for their Android-loving customers. As more and more people continue to adopt Android as their mobile platform of choice, businesses will begin (or continue in some cases) to take notice and the offerings of the Android Market will (presumably) continue to increase.
Let’s hear it for more apps! Leave your comments below.

ARTICLE: HTC Incredible coming to Verizon: Bad April Fools joke?

Last week we heard that Verizon might be giving Droid Eris the EOL treatment to make way for the HTC Incredible. The date that was thrown around was April 1, 2010. Here we are, just about one week later and DailyTech is reporting that sources from Verizon “confirmed that the HTC Incredible was supposed to begin to arrive at Verizon Wireless stores in two weeks.” As far as rumor confirmation goes, it’s only official when it’s official. But when rumors from different sources start to line up (note that two weeks from today is April 1!), you can’t help but feel more confident in their accuracy.
The Incredible is said to be sporting the acclaimed 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, underclocked to 768MHz (I’m not sure why…), 512MB RAM, 8.0-megapixel camera, and potentially 6GB of flash memory. In addition, it will come with a microSD expansion slot that will probably be capable of packing up to a 32GB punch, and an FM tuner.
With CTIA around the corner, there’s no telling what news will be unleashed. Verizon seems to be positioning itself very well in the Android race. Who’s waiting for the Supersonic, or is it the Nexus One? Wipe the drool off your lip and sound off below!
