Update: In response to the rather vocal outcries of many of its subscribers on the web, Verizon has clarified what will happen to 3G/4G data plans explicitly.

The HTC One X smartphone is perhaps the best smartphone of the year so far, but it hasn’t come without its quirks. While Sense 4.0 has been rightfully praised because of its revamped look and tweaks to Android 4.0′s multitasking, it has brought some unwanted and unnecessary confusion to how the multitasking actually works. Let [...]
The iPhone may be Japan’s most popular smartphone, and NTT Docomo may be the nation’s biggest carrier, but what would seem like a match made in heaven is unlikely to come to pass any time soon. That’s the takeaway from comments made by Docomo president Ryuji Yamada yesterday, who expressed preference for Android devices due [...]
I’ve always been a sucker for a good UI, and despite the bad press surrounding the Grid 10 tablet, I must say, I kinda had a “thing” for their unconventional homescreen. As it stands, Android’s tablet UI isn’t very much to look at. Essentially, you have a larger smartphone home screen which, I understand, is [...]
LG announced their new quad-core Optimus 4X HD a few month back during Mobile World Congress and today they are giving us all another look at the handset. Although we’ve had various hands-on with the new phone ourselves this exceptional new video from LG is worth a quick look for those interested in the smartphone. [...]
For more than half a year, we’ve had more than enough Galaxy S3 rumors. Some of them were pretty crazy, like the 1080p screen, while others were predictable (the quad core Exynos 4412 chip). Samsung delivered some of the more predictable ones, while it failed to hit the target on others (Pentile screen), and also [...]
It’s no secret that Japan has an aging population, and that means that there’s a sizable market of people who either won’t learn the ins and outs of today’s advanced smartphones or are unable to afford the latest devices. There are options for elderly customers in the country, such as Fujitsu’s Raku Raku Phone series, [...]
If you’re the owner of the HTC Amaze 4G smartphone on the T-Mobile network in the United States, good news. T-Mobile has tipped that the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will land on May 21.

Sony’s Xperia SX, which was announced last week for release in Japan, is in many ways the most likable handset we’ve seen from the company’s mobile reboot. It’s a tiny phone with a 3.7-inch display (we don’t know the resolution, but it’s sharp), a 1.5GHz processor, an 8-megapixel camera, LTE support via Docomo’s Xi network, [...]

A few weeks ago we looked at Capta, a universal mount that adds the ability to mount your smartphone on a tripod. The creators of Capta, UDS, now have a new Kickstarter project that utilizes the same “alien goo” material to bring even more functionality to your smart device. Meet Vavo. Basically Vavo is a [...]
Sony’s Xperia S has been an awesome phone except for well, its lack of Ice Cream Sandwich. While it’s questionable to launch a device of that nature with Gingerbread 2.3 in a world of Android 4.0, Sony has taken the time to finally give us what we have been waiting for— a concrete date for [...]
Last week’s announcement of Verizon’s DROID Incredible 4G LTE brought speculation of pricing and possible release date among the Android community.

Sitting just below the well-received One V in HTCs 2012 range, the Desire C features a 3.5-inch QVGA (that’s 320 x 480 pixels) display, a 5-megapixel camera, and Beats Audio. There’s no word on processor or [...]
I’m not the read the instructions sort of person. Generally, I can pick up the device and just figure out the things I want to do with it easy enough. However, on some complex devices with lots of features, I and other people like me do have to resort to the user manual. I think [...]

One of the things I love about T-Mobile is that if you’re interested in purchasing a new smartphone on the network but want to get it for a great deal you never have to wait too long for T-Mo to break out a buy one get one deal. Between May 18th and May 26th you [...]

Unveiled back at MWC in March, the Asus Padfone was one of the stars of the technology trade show. One of the most original devices of the past couple of year, the smartphone-within-a-tablet-within-a-netbook (it’s got a stylus too) seems almost too good to be true.
