Mr Gears has kindly allowed me to post not only news on the site, but also posts about using smartphones, and in my case, my shiny HTC Desire (2.1, on 3 network). I would like us to share how useful we find out smartphones day to day - …
Well, just last night pictures of the T-Mobile G2 were splashed across the interwebs. Now there's more of the phone and the rather trick system for bringing out the QWERTY keyboard. It doesn't actually slide (as we previously thought), instead it lift...
The HTC Vision got snapped a little while ago and late last night we learned that it'll be sold as the HTC Desire Z here in the UK soon. Engadget have snapped the America version, called the T-Mobile G2 in this case. You know what to expect by …
We heard some rumours last night that the HTC Desire update had begun rolling out. Frazer sent an email which just read, "Vodafone is kickin' out the 2.2 update!" We had a fish around but there didn't seem to be many other Vodafone Desire owners with ...
We've seen the HTC Desire HD in photos and videos are we were suspecting that it could be launched next month, but now it looks like there may actually be two devices announced. Mobiles.co.uk have stuck the HTC Desire HD and the HTC Desire Z on their ...
T-Mobile have just posted a tweet about their upcoming G2. The new Android handset is set to be the network's first HSPA+ phone and T-Mobile USA state... “Current T-Mobile customers will get exclusive first access to the T-Mobile G2.We love our ...
Two HTC device specs have just appeared on the web. The HTC Bee is up first and seems to be a mid-range Android device with 528Mhz CPU, 5 megapixel camera, QVGA (240x320) screen and a 3.2" screen. Next is the HTC Lexikon, which has a huge 3.8" screen …

The HTC Ace was recently spotted as on a Vodafone Germany inventory and there was more news too - it was going to be called the HTC Desire HD. This leaked image has now appeared on uwants.com and it instantly seems similar in looks and specs to the …
The HTC Glacier is a name we've heard some time back and there's rumours that the device, whatever it is, will be coming to T-Mobile as part of "Project Emerald". Things get a bit misty now, as we're not sure if it's a T-Mobile USA thing or a …
It looks like Vodafone customers with the HTC Desire have just received an update but, before you get too excited, it's not FroYo (2.2). What it actually does is brand the previously "untouched" handset with lots of lovely Vodafone stuff including 5 a...
We're now hearing that HTC Desire handsets bought through Virgin Mobile are getting the FroYo update, so feel free to go into Settings -> About Phone -> System Software Updates to see if yours is ready to go. Link - Virgin Mobile Credit - Mike Scofield
So now every HTC Desire owner has FroYo and we're all happy. Well no, not exactly. There's the age-old problem of network-branded phones lagging a little while network "enhancements" are added to the mix and they're given the seal of approval. For Ora...
Android Central have come across a screenshot of 2 new devices with SKU's on Vodafone Germany's stock system. The devices clearly state that the Desire HD will be the so called HTC Ace device which is like the HTC Incredible which is already on sale i...
Well, it seems that the earlier predictions were right. According to a statement from HTC, the Desire will be getting Android 2.2 in Europe from this weekend. HD video recording, the App Share facility and iTunes syncing are just some of the highlight...
With Android 2.2 showing up kinda unofficially on the Samsung Galaxy S it's interesting to see HTC announcing that Desire will be getting Froyo (2.2) very soon indeed.. and by soon, we mean tomorrow. HTC Europe Director, Mark Moons, has posted this Tw...
We've tracked the progress of the HTC Hero 2.1 updates for Orange customers over the last few days. On Monday part one of the upgrade started rolling out and today, following an apology from HTC, part two is rolling out. We're getting reports that Ora...

A few days back we spotted the HTC Vision complete with T-Mobile branding. It's a new Android device with a slide-out QWERTY and rumours seemed to point to it being released as the "G1 Blaze" on T-Mobile. However, we didn't know just which T-Mobile. ...
We've had a few emails now about the much anticipated Android 2.1 update for the Orange HTC Hero. Richard Williams kicked things off when he told us that Orange Tech Support confirmed that the update would start rolling out today. Daren Wood mailed in...
Well, we kinda knew that this was coming but it's now official. HTC will be adding the Super LCD display technology (SLCD) into a selection of devices later this summer. The Desire and the Nexus One are picked to be the first and there's confirmation ...
Another HTC device that appeared recently is the Vision. This time it's an Android powered handset with 1Ghz CPU, 3.7" touch screen and Android 2.1. Engadget have now seen it with T-Mobile logos plastered all over it and the possible name of the "G1 B...
Great news for Vodafone customers who have a Vodafone supplied Nexus One and that is the company have now confirmed that OS 2.2 (FroYo) is available as a free over the air download from next week. Posted by the official Vodafone eForum a moderator tod...

Today is a very happy day for all you T-Mobile G2 users out there, the company is now pushing out the 2.1 ROM update to handsets as an OTA (Over the Air) download. If you have not had the update yet check under settings if you can search …
The Nexus One is the official Google Phone and as such gets all the software updates before the other devices running Android. To put it bluntly, the Nexus One is a developer and a phone geeks dream as you are always up to date with the latest i...
Many moons ago I was playing with my nephew and decided to attach my mobile phone to a toy train and film the journey. Now, years later and with camera technology advancing, I have my own son and another very long train set in the lounge. This time …
This is reported to be the HTC Vision. It looks like a top-end device with Android 2.1, 1Ghz CPU and a 3.7" touch screen. Personally I'd love to see a QWERTY-sliding Android from HTC, so I can't wait to see this thing in the flesh. The bottom of …
I've had quite a few mails over the weekend asking where the HTC Wildfire review is, and finally I'm happy to deliver. This is another monster, and we've done something different to other tech sites by handing them out to different types of people. My...
The HTC Hero is one of our favourite Android handsets still and, if you're after one, it may be worth looking at this refurbished one at Three. It's available for £159.99 and then you simply stick your Pay As You Go SIM card in. Job done. It even …
Following our earlier story just hours ago it now seems that the HTC Hero 2.1 update is indeed being delivered to handsets here in the UK. This is a shot from Ant, who's just had a prompt on his unlocked HTC Hero just minutes ago. It's a whacking …
HTC Hero owners will probably know the story by now. The handset runs Android 1.5 under the pretty HTC Sense UI but, for many months, we've all waited patiently for the 2.1 update. It's available in the USA for the Sprint Hero and if you're in Taiwan ...
The HTC Wildfire has just popped onto the Vodafone website and is available right now. Cost? Well, you're looking at a mere £20 per month on a 24 month plan. T-Mobile are doing exactly the same deal, albeit with more minutes per month chucked in. 3UK...
Despite the lower resoltion screen and the 528MHz CPU, the HTC Wildfire has definitely impressed everyone we've shown it to so far. This weekend we'll have the opinions of those who've used it as their main phone for a week and a review should be onl...
HTC UK have launched their official Facebook page and you could win the chance to bring all your friends on Facebook together for a day. To enter, just tell HTC would you'd do with all your friends - it can be as crazy as you want. Some people …
The T-Mobile G2 Touch is the T-Mobile version of the rather excellent HTC Hero. Recently a maintenance update appeared for the handset and we assume it was the same one that it's the same one that HTC announced recently. It seems to have been causing ...
HTC have sent us three HTC Wildfire phones so we're composing a slightly different review. Three different types of customers will be using these as their main phone for the next week. First there's the "techy guy" (me), then we have the "never used A...
Yesterday we received not one, or two, but three HTC Wildfire handsets. We're going to be doing a new type of review on this one - giving it out to different types of people. The first part of the review was going to be a simple unboxing, but …
OK, we're even more confused than we ever have been. HTC appear to have stuck out a load of country-specific updates for the HTC Hero today. Sweden, Norway, Greece and Denmark have got 102MB updates which were initially thought to be the 2.1 Android u...
We've just had word that the all conquering HTC Desire is due to travel to America very soon. Our sources state that the handset will be available in the US "via select regional operators" and it'll be in shops as early as August. It'll carry the same...
