HTC Desire C (aka Golf) confirmed, 3.5-inch phone with ICS

HTC Desire C (aka Golf) confirmed, 3.5-inch phone with ICS

Folks, it’s our pleasure to report that all the debates (if there were any) about the HTC Golf being officially called either the Wildfire C or the Desire C can finally be put to rest. More pictures of the entry-level smartphone have leaked, and this time, they give us a better look of the phone and its specs. And yes, it will be called the HTC Desire C. Shown on Vodafone Portugal’s catalog of upcoming phones, the specs of the HTC Desire C don’t vary too much from earlier reports. But, as it always happens in this cases, it’s sure nice to …

HTC One X for AT&T and Rogers rooted

HTC One X for AT&T and Rogers rooted

Kennethpenn Well, it didn’t take long for the folks at XDA-developers to come up with a permanent rooting solution for the HTC One X on AT&T. You can head to the thread right now if you can’t wait to remove some bloatware from your shiny new phone. Of course, that’s just one of the benefits that root access can provide you. For now, the rooting method seems to be working for the HTC One X versions offered by AT&T and Rogers. The one-click process is super simple – all you have to do is follow six simple steps. Therefore, you …

Is it the Wildfire C or the Desire C? HTC Golf images leak again

Is it the Wildfire C or the Desire C? HTC Golf images leak again

Folks, prepare to get your clubs out, as tee time with HTC is almost here. We’re talking, of course, about the HTC Golf, an upcoming low-end offering from the Taiwanese manufacturer that’s expected to come later in the year. It was about a month ago that a supposed press image of the HTC Golf was leaked, and now more pictures of the device have surfaced. This new set pictures of the alleged HTC Golf, whose name is yet to be made official, show the black version of the phone, different from the silver model we saw last month. But worry …

Virgin Mobile’s first 4G phone, the HTC EVO V 4G, to come May 31

Virgin Mobile’s first 4G phone, the HTC EVO V 4G, to come May 31

You probably all know that Sprint’s 4G WiMax network was a total fiasco, causing the carrier to lose ground in the competition with Verizon and AT&T, both of which deployed LTE networks. Sprint abandoned WiMax, accepted defeat, and announced the launch of its own 4G LTE network a while back. But it seems that its old Wimax network will not be completely shut down after all. Sprint’s subsidiaries Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile will offer a slew of Wimax-enabled “affordable high-end phones” in the near future. The first such device has already been officially unveiled and will hit the market on …

Sprint now accepts pre-orders for the HTC EVO 4G LTE

Sprint now accepts pre-orders for the HTC EVO 4G LTE

We last reported about the HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint when the pre-order page for the phone went live, though going through with the order wasn’t possible back then. Guess what, the carrier now allows customers to pre-order the HTC EVO 4G LTE in all of its kickstand-goodness. The $199.99 with a 2-year contract price tag matches the price of HTC’s high-end phones from other carriers. Unfortunately, Sprint is still keeping the launch date of the eagerly anticipated phone under wraps. Given the fact that AT&T’s HTC One X has already been released this week, we think that Sprint will …

HTC One V to come to several US carriers this summer

HTC One V to come to several US carriers this summer

After the HTC One X and HTC One S, the last of the One series, HTC One V, has finally received a release window in the US. Aiming to grab a good slice of the low to mid-end range smartphone market in the US, HTC announced today that the One V will be launched this summer at “a variety of US partners.” Despite packing the least exciting set of specs, the One V bears the hallmarks of HTC’s superfine build quality, much like the other One phones. The phone’s aluminum unibody is complemented by a 3.7-inch display protected by scratch-resistant reinforced …

HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is finally official, to be released “in the coming weeks”

HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is finally official, to be released “in the coming weeks”

Verizon may be the largest mobile carrier in the United States right now, but some of its customers might start feeling a bit let down by Big Red. Neither the One X, nor the One S will ever come to Verizon, if we are to trust existing rumors, and the network’s flagship HTC device will be the Droid Incredible 4G LTE. Unfortunately, the Incredible simply doesn’t look as impressive as the other two high-end Taiwanese phones. While we knew for a while that it was set to hit the market and we had a good idea of what it will …

AT&T’s HTC One X now available for $199.99, phone’s source code released

AT&T’s HTC One X now available for $199.99, phone’s source code released

If you’ve been counting the long long days to the debut of AT&T’s HTC One X, the torment is now over. The phone, which was unveiled in February at MWC, is finally available for purchase in AT&T stores across the country. Slightly different from the international version, the AT&T variant of the HTC One X, often dubbed the HTC One XL, sports a 1.4GHz Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, instead of the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 found on its cosmopolitan cousin. The HTC One X is offered for $199.99 with a two-year voice and data plan, while the non-contract offer goes for a …

T-Mobile: Ice Cream Sandwich for HTC Sensation 4G is coming “very soon”

T-Mobile: Ice Cream Sandwich for HTC Sensation 4G is coming “very soon”

We won’t blame owners of the HTC Sensation 4G – or any other model, for that matter — that get rather testy when it comes to the topic of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. But the tossing and turning in bed waiting for the upgrade might soon be a thing of the past. Although a recent leak about T-Mobile’s planned ICS upgrade schedule indicated that HTC Sensation 4G will only get the latest Android OS in mid-June, it appears the carrier is ready to roll it out faster. The good news comes from none other than the support forum on T-Mobile’s …

Apple, what have you done? Nokia files patent lawsuits against HTC, RIM and Viewsonic

Apple, what have you done? Nokia files patent lawsuits against HTC, RIM and Viewsonic

Just when we started to hope that the longstanding legal battle between Apple and Samsung might reach a “friendly” end, another (former) important player in the smartphone market announced the start of what could be an even more epic patent war. Nokia, who just a year ago was the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world, but quickly dropped to third place behind Apple and Samsung, has set its sights on more “modest” targets. That’s right, targets, as in plural, because the Finnish have filed a total of 11 lawsuits in the US and Germany against HTC, RIM, and Viewsonic, covering …

That was fast: Tegra 3 version of HTC One X gets a CyanogenMod 9 release

That was fast: Tegra 3 version of HTC One X gets a CyanogenMod 9 release

There are possibly two types of people in this world: those who like their Android phone with all the often unnecessary bells and whistles on the software front, and those who like to keep it stock and neat. If you fall within the latter category, the TripNDroid Mobile engineering team has made your Sense-less HTC One X dream come true. The team has released the CyanogenMod 9 ROM for the HTC One X, which means, you will get to enjoy a pure stock Android experience without a trace of HTC Sense, on top of that sleek unibody and 4.7-inch Super …

Rumor: Verizon’s HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE to ship on May 10

Rumor: Verizon’s HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE to ship on May 10

A couple of days ago, Verizon briefly had a HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE page up on the Droid Does website, only for it to be swiftly taken down. Though the page for the expected successor to the HTC Droid Incredible 2 hasn’t been re-posted yet, rumors are trickling out about the launch date of the 4G LTE phone, which could arrive as soon as May 10. The news was first reported by Phone Dog, which apparently received a tip from a source about the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE’s availability in May. Bearing in mind that May 10 falls …

BGR: HTC competitor to the Galaxy Note, multiple Droid RAZR models coming this fall at Verizon

BGR: HTC competitor to the Galaxy Note, multiple Droid RAZR models coming this fall at Verizon

It’s surprising how little we know about the upcoming flagship smartphones from Verizon, while all other three major carriers get close to actually releasing their first flagship devices of 2012. Sprint recently got the Galaxy Nexus and will soon release the HTC EVO 4G, AT&T will get the HTC One XL, while T-Mobile scored the One S. But don’t you guys worry, as according to Johnatan Geller, the founder of BGR.com, the fall 2012 line-up of Verizon smartphones will be absolutely impressive. Geller first mentions that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will reach Verizon over the summer, which falls perfectly in line …

Strong One sales could increase HTC revenues by 55% in Q2, according to forecast

Strong One sales could increase HTC revenues by 55% in Q2, according to forecast

After a couple of years of great success in the smartphone business, things have abruptly (but not surprisingly) started going downhill for HTC. The last three months of 2011 and the first of 2012 have been pretty horrific for the Taiwanese, with sales, revenues, and profit all going down massively. However, if we are to trust the company’s latest forecast, it seems that things could well pick up for HTC soon enough, with a second quarter of 2012 expected to bring a 55% increase in revenues. HTC’s predictions might hint towards pretty strong One sales, but should be taken with …

HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-order page goes live, the phone could start shipping on May 18

HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-order page goes live, the phone could start shipping on May 18

The HTC One X is one of the most exciting Android-based smartphones to hit the market by this summer, but Sprint’s own take on HTC’s flagship, the EVO 4G LTE, might capture the regular geek’s attention even more. Although it won’t come with a quad-core processor, but rather with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip, the EVO 4G LTE will hold three big aces up its sleeve. I’m talking, of course, about the 4G LTE connectivity, the SD card slot (lacking on the standard One X), and the kickstand found on Sprint’s EVO super-phone. With all this in mind, it’s pretty difficult …
