HTC is on sabbatical from its high-end line with the Wildfire. There is nothing really wild or fiery in the specs of this mid-end Android handset. Compared to most of the company’s Android offerings, it naturally has smaller screen with paltry resolution, and a low-end CPU. They don’t promise much of a performance, but the phone is certainly a looker. When we add the familiar sturdy construction HTC is in the hall of fame for, the company’s foray into the budget Android line with the Wildfire might just do it justice. (more…)

HTC Google Nexus One
Monday, August 9th, 2010All droids are equal but some droids are more equal than others. Google it. You’ll get the Nexus One. There are around 50 smartphones and tablets running Android today. That’s right, out of all the offspring they fathered with the Open Handset Alliance, Google finally have one to proudly call their own. What does it mean? Well, not that the ones we’ve seen so far are some poor half-blood droids but the Nexus One is supposed to be THE thing. For one, it’s the first Snapdragon-powered Android and it shows. The Nexus One is wickedly fast. The WVGA touchscreen is a treat to look at and it’s only the second AMOLED display to find on an Android handset. D1 video is sure to sweeten the deal too, and perhaps so will the Live Wallpapers. (more…)
Samsung Captivate
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Samsung is the second biggest cell phone manufacturer on the planet. But even though it sells more phones than the next five manufacturers on the list combined, Samsung is known mostly for selling what are now known as feature phones, or “dumb phones”. These are the less capable models that don’t multitask and are usually a bit cheaper than smartphones. That is why it’s huge news when Samsung releases four new Android smartphones — for each of the four major U.S. cellular carriers — at nearly the same time. (more…)
Motorola Devour
Monday, May 3rd, 2010When the Motorola Droid launched on Verizon Wireless last fall, it made a big splash—among a certain kind of customer, at least. Marketed heavily toward men, the fast, sturdily built phone was a hit among guys and early adopters, but its hefty shape was a turnoff to some shoppers. While not explicitly aimed at women, the Devour ($149 after mail-in rebate; $99 through Best Buy) offers a sleeker aluminum design along with a more comfortable slide-out keyboard. It also includes the social networking-friendly Motoblur interface. The Devour may lack multitouch support and have a smaller screen than the Droid, but overall it’s a very good value. (more…)
HTC Nexus One by Google
Monday, April 26th, 2010The Nexus One. In the modern climate of hyped (and over-hyped) smartphone launches, Google’s official entry into the phone-sales game has excelled in a department where many find difficulty: generating legitimate excitement. Of course, long before the name Nexus One or the recent bounty of pictures and details existed, the very concept of a “Google Phone” had been ingrained in the public conscience, predating even the Open Handset Alliance and Android itself; the company dabbled in the concept of direct sales through its offering of the Android Dev Phones 1 and 2 (alias Ion), but this time, it’s a public retail ordeal, not a couple of one-off developer specials.
