HTC ThunderBolt in the wild one more time: 8GB internal, no HDMI?

0 comments
Here we are a mere day away from the ThunderBolt's probable announce at Verizon's CES press conference, which, by our rough count, gives us at least one more opportunity to see the LTE-capable monster leaked in the wild. That opportunity comes courtesy of AndroidSPIN, who claims that we can expect a 1GHz single-core processor, 8GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, 8 megapixel rear and 1.3 megapixel front cams, Android 2.2.1 with Sense, HTC-customized mapping and nav (probably HTC Locations with offline caching), and DLNA compatibility -- but no built-in HDMI. Every one of those specs was either already expected or believable enough, though the lack of HDMI -- if true -- would still give the EVO 4G some bragging rights more than six months after its release. Score one for longevity, eh?

HTC Dream Google G1 Smartphone from T-Mobile

0 comments
Google G1 Phone The Google G1 was the first Android compatible smartphone and was produced by well known handset manufacturer HTC. The phone was launched as a T-Mobile exclusive in 2008. Response to the Google phone has been fairly mixed. From a looks point of view, the G1 was never going to win any awards with its relatively chunky body (thanks to a 5 row QWERTY keyboard) and quirky ‘chin' which you either love or hate. That said, the physical keyboard is ideal for those of you who still haven't gotten used to touchscreen keyboards and may be worth the extra weight.
From a technical perspective, the phone comes with everything we've come to expect from HTC devices including 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support together with a passable 3.2 Megapixel camera and GPS. Being a Google-branded device, integration with all of the Google applications (search, mail, talk, calendar, maps etc.) is seamless and intuitive as is the rest of the Android UI. The phone ships with a 1150mAh Lithium-ion battery and is quoted as having up to 406 minutes of talk time on GSM although reviews seem to indicate that battery life is nowhere near as good as it should be. Extended 2200mAh batteries are now becoming available and are highly recommended for heavy users.
Overall of the Google G1 is a nice phone that handles adequately. It may not have the wow-factor visually or even technically but as a first mover it is a good example of the potential of Android-powered smartphones. Now bring on the G2.

HTC Magic Smartphone from Vodafone

0 comments
HTC Magic Phone It wasn't long after the launch of the Google G1 that rumours of a G2 started to circulate together with 'leaked' images of the phone. Up until recently, this has all been speculation but at the 2008 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Vodaphone confirmed that they were teaming up with HTC to launch the HTC Magic (a.k.a. HTC Sapphire), the second Android-compatible smartphone.
As a handset, HTC Magic is not a major departure from the G1 although it does up the ante in terms of style. The phone is thinner and lighter (owing to the exclusion of a full keyboard) and the original G1's pronounced ‘chin' has been smoothed for a much sleeker look. In terms of specifications, the HTC Magic is very similar, using the same Qualcomm MSM7201 processor, a 3.2 inch LCD touchscreen and 3.2 megapixel camera. Internal ROM has also been doubled to 512MB. Obviously the initial battery life issues of the G1 did not go unnoticed, and the Magic will ship with a 1340mAh battery meaning increased talk time.
The HTC Magic phone is a Vodafone exclusive and will be available across Europe from April 2009. At this stage there are no definite dates for availability outside of Europe.

Samsung I7500

Samsung has been a long time member of The Open Handset Alliance so we've been expecting an Android phone from them for some time now. After a few false starts, O2 Germany finally announced that they would be launching the I7500 in June 2009, officially making this Samsung's first Android phone, and for Android fans, what a phone it's turned out to be (assuming you're not fixed on having a physical keyboard that is).
