Smart Accessories

Besides having to pay an unsubsidized price for the phone, you could also be missing out on certain design changes. For example, as we reported, the Samsung Hercules is expected to come to T-Mobile and there is speculation that the phone-with its larger 4.5 inch display-is a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II for the nation’s fourth largest carrier.

We recently told you that speculation was centering on Verizon becoming the first carrier to offer the Samsung Galaxy S II with a possible August 12th launch date. With that day increasingly becoming more unlikely for the release of this summer’s hottest smartphone, the most likely scenario now is a September launch. And don’t forget, the recently leaked Verizon roadmap mentioned a September launch of the Samsung Stratosphere, a phone with specs that exactly match those of the Galaxy S II.

Specifications include a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel camera, a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, Android 2.3 Gingerbread and HTC’s Sense UI — all in a 3.99 x 2.34 x 0.49-inch package that weighs just 3.7 ounces. T-Mobile’s HTC Wildfire S will launch on August 3rd for $79.99 with a new two-year contract. The phone will be available in white from T-Mobile’s nationwide retail stores and also in black from T-Mobile’s online shop as well as Walmart and Sam’s Club.

Kineto Wireless were the company to bring this unannounced LG handset to the party, along with a bunch of others intended for the US market, and the rep on hand dropped the name Flip II to the Pocket-lint sleuths. There’s also the possibility that what we’re eyeing is the LG Maxx Q, which has popped up on a recently leaked T-Mo USA roadmap, though that Android 1.6 wallpaper could mean that this is just an aged prototype that never saw the light of retail day. Which would be a darn shame, if you ask us. Give the source link a bash for more pictures.

Sharp has built plenty of Sidekicks before, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see it get in on the Android game and re-enter the U.S. market. We just hope it has more beefy hardware muscle to make any future offerings even more compelling than the already solid Sidekick 4G.

The Touch 9860 “Monza” will have the highest-resolution screen in a BlackBerry today, according to the early specs. It’ll have a 3.7-inch 800 x 480 display, 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, and 4 GB of internal storage. The big stars of the device will be a near-field communications chip, which will most commonly be used for tap-and-go payments, and the magnetic compass, which will enable augmented reality applications.

The big BlackBerry World show is coming up fast, and we’re expecting at least the Bold Touch to get announced, but it would be hard to imagine carriers not making their own BlackBerry announcements shortly thereafter, considering summer is right around the corner. The next breed of RIM handsets are mostly iterative and simply keeping pace with specs, but the push for NFC is more aggressive than we’ve seen from any other manufacturer, and as a result, I suspect RIM will be early in forming partnerships with banks and other financial institutions to actually make use of it all.

Other Features Of  T-Mobile G2x

T-Mobile has packed G2x with some real solid specs. The phone is equipped with an 8 mega-pixel rear facing camera which supports 1080p HD video recording. Apart from it, it also allows T-Mobile TV on-demand video streaming and through Nvidia Tegra Zone you can enjoy games as per your choice. The phone also has a 1.3 mega pixel web cam and supports external memory of 32GB. Local connectivity in the device is facilitated by the presence of Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.

One can buy T-Mobile G2x online from the website of T-Mobile for $ 200. The phone will be available from the T-Mobile stores from April 20. So if you want a really powerful smartphone with a powerful processor to enhance your Android experience then you can go for T-Mobile G2x.

The Sensation 4G is the same hardware-wise as the Sensation for Europe. That means a 4.3-inch screen is Super LCD touchscreen with an impressive qHD resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. It retains the unibody aluminum construction and contoured glass screen. The 8 megapixel rear camera has autofocus and a dual-LED flash, and is capable of recording 1080p video at 30 frames per second. The front of the phone sports a 1.2 megapixel camera for video calling. The whole show is run by Qualcomm’s new 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor.

The Sensation 4G will also have the latest version of HTC’s Sense interface that was debuted running atop Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Users can customize their lock screens in a number of ways to display information such as local weather, pictures, stock data, and more. Apps can be launched directly from the lock screen as well for a quicker experience.

The Sensation 4G is expected to arrive later this summer at a to-be-announced price.

T-Mobile confirmed on its Twitter account today that the device will be launching on April 20 where the device will join a growing line-up of 4G HSPA+ devices. Of course, we sort of already knew that when RadioShack spilled the beans last week.

In case you didn’t already know, the Sidekick 4G is running Android 2.2 Froyo and is made by Samsung, instead of Sharp or Motorola as we’ve grown accustomed to in the past. It also has a custom UI to set it apart from other Android devices, and of course, it’s 4G HSPA+ capable, which makes it the fastest Sidekick device ever. And because it’s no longer tied to the Danger servers, the one thing this Sidekick won’t be plagued with is all those outages that Sidekick users of yesteryear used to suffer.

Other specs include a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, mobile hotspot capabilities, Wi-Fi calling and that five-row keyboard we all loved. It also comes with two new messaging features called Sidekick Group Text and Cloud Text:

Sidekick’s Group Text feature lets customers create, name, manage and participate in reply-all group text conversations, enabling them to lead their network in conversation and social planning. Group Text breathes new life into one of the most popular forms of messaging allowing Sidekick 4G customers to initiate and share the benefit of the application with SMS-capable devices from flip phones to smartphones. In addition, Cloud Text provides the option to text with friends or groups across platforms, whether from the comfort of their PC’s large screen and keyboard, or from their new Sidekick 4G.

In all, it’s not a shabby smartphone! It has all the perks you’d expect from Android 2.2, including Adobe Flash and access to tens of thousands of apps in the Android Market, but its design and keyboard are still similar to its predecessors. So, who’s going out to grab one?
