Original Body HTC Heros with US 3G coming soon – but you’ll have to import
If your pockets are just beggin’ to be filled with an HTC Hero, your options thus far (assuming you’re in the US) have been limited. You could get one through Sprint or wait for Verizon’s Hero-esque Droid Eris – but either of those options means you’re on a modified, round-bodied Hero rather than the angled, chin-tastic Hero that nearly 70% of our readers prefer. You could import one of the ... Read More

Best Buy offering DROID pre-orders as of today, automates the mail-in rebate
In the best sort of tradition, Best Buy Mobile has gone for a repeat of its Palm Pre offering and is offering a $299 phone, the Motorola DROID, in this case, at $199 thanks to the automation of a mail-in rebate you'd have to actually "mail in" if you were to purchase the handset straight from the carrier.

Another Samsung phone on the loose, S5560 spotted in the wild
If you haven't heard of Samsung S5560 before, it's because it's not even official yet. However today we spotted its full specs complete with a marketing image. Besides full touch UI, it packs Wi-Fi at the expense of 3G. We guess this is what it all boils down to - touch phones on a budget are an increasingly important market niche and Wi-Fi has been high on the feature wishlist of ... Read More

Beginning immediately, Android 2.0 support is available in the Android SDK. Don’t expect it to be available (at least not through any official means) on any device until the Motorola Droid launches, which all signs indicate will happen sometime in early November. Here are the ... Read More
