Well, would you look at that — it’s an Android 2.2 handset with a giant screen, HTC watermark and plenty of similarities to (though apparently no front-facing camera like ) the EVO 4G.

It seems like a no-brainer, but at this point Microsoft has yet to confirm a separate 250GB HDD for its new Xbox 360 consoles — and really, if you’re picking up the 4GB model next month , that might come in handy. Newer press shots show a different side of the packaging, however, and if you get a high-res snapshot, you can see that it’s touting the various accessories you can buy to enhance your new Xbox 360 4GB experience: wireless controllers, Kinect, and… a 250GB HDD

Take this one with a grain of salt, but it’s looking like our old friend the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is getting a wee bit of an update. Yesterday evening, CrackBerry discovered a RIM document that describes a QWERTY-packing, OS 6-rocking “BlackBerry 9780″ destined for a GSM carrier near you..

Sure, Microsoft might be selling seven copies of Windows 7 a second , but that doesn’t mean Redmond isn’t planning for the future: the software giant is purportedly beginning to prep ODMs on Windows 8, if these leaked slides are to be believed. It doesn’t look like anything is nailed down just yet, but some interesting larger themes are being discussed, like improving startup and and wake-from-sleep times to be nearly instantaneous, the addition of higher-speed interconnects like USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0, hard drive encryption, ambient light sensitivity, and facial recognition login / out

Can’t confirm these ourselves, but if Android Central’s sources are to be believed, these Samsung Galaxy S Pro specs are mighty impressive. Here’s what we’re looking at: a Sammy-borne 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, a Super AMOLED screen that may or may not be the same 4-inch, 800 x 480 window on the Galaxy S , a strong QWERTY slider with raised keys, front-facing VGA camera, 5 megapixel back camera with 720p video recording capabilities, WiMAX support, and Android 2.1 with some TouchWiz 3.0 customizations. As for qualms, the source does drop “plastic-y” a couple times in a none-too-flattering light

In one of the weirdest Apple leak sagas in recent memory, what appears to be a 4th-generation iPhone prototype surfaced over the weekend, was summarily debunked and then “confirmed” as real all over again. The saga began when a lost handset believed to be a 4th-generation iPhone was discovered on the floor of a San Jose bar inside of an iPhone 3G case, according to Engadget and others

4th-Generation iPhone May or May Not Have Popped Up Over the Weekend
We’ve already seen the Motorola Devour in the wild once, but with the official Verizon launch right around the corner and pre-sales underway , it looks like at least one more unit has made it out into the world. Great — but we’d like a video of this thing and its mid-range processor running Flash , please. [Thanks, Zach] Motorola Devour in the wild once again originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:26:00 EST

Texting has never been so much fun, thanks to the high-speed magic of the keyboard that could: Swype. But I know there are a lot of sad pandas out there who want to Swype, but just can’t because they own a Nokia. Well, you can turn that from upside down, matey, as Swype is now available for S60 5th Edition through Nokia Beta Labs ! Now, now, before you get too excited, I have to let you know that it is currently only available for the Nokia N97, N97mini, X6, 5800, and 5230, with other devices coming later
All the engineers in the audience will be pleased to hear that Globalfoundries today announced that the very first 28nm ARM Cortex A9 dual-processor qualification vehicle has now been taped out.
T-mobile have now confirmed, via their Scoop page , that the upcoming T-mobile G2 will rock an 800MHz Scorpion processor (as part of the new MSM7x30 Snapdragon chipset), run the Android hotness that is Froyo (sans Sense, as previously thought ), and will also be “ready” for flash 10.1. Now, those in the audience with an insatiable appetite for teh megahurtzes will probably be disappointed to hear that the clock is a full 200MHz slower than the usual 1GHz Snapdragon that most all high-end phones are gifted with.
T-mobile is really going to draw out this whole limited knowledge launch of the G2 . This time, though, we have some confirmation on what you can actually expect. It is well known that this will be the first HSPA+ phone , and T-mobile is telling you to “brace yourself for blazing-fast downloads, browsing and search” on the “fastest smartphone experience in America.” Another note, and I do not get sick of posting this, vanilla Android 2.2 out of the box with one-touch quick keys (for quick access to Google shortcuts and applications) and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 ready (which probably means you will have to download it from the market yourself). T-Mobile is also confirming that that Qualcomm MSM 7230 Scorpion silicone will be clocked at 800 MHz. I know some of you wish it was clocked up to 1 GHz, but you need to remember that GHz isn’t everything. Nothing really new there, but some official confirmation is always good. The rest of the scroll box, from the Scoop page, can be found below. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments! T-Mobile SCOOP
Unconfirmed reports are coming in via Twitter that T-Mobile is currently out in the Seattle areas. No information is known at this time, stay tuned for details!
According to a post at the Windows Phone 7 blog , Microsoft’s latest operating system is now fully cooked and ready to consume.
In case you aren’t interested in the T-Mobile G2 or the HD7 , perhaps the MyTouch HD aka “Emerald” suits your fancy? A trusted tipster has dropped off word that the release date for the next phone in the myTouch lineup will drop November 3 rd at your local T-Mobile store. That lovely little roadmap we’ve been following so closely I believe if I am reading it correctly states that the Emerald is dropping November 5 th , then again it could be a 3, its blurry as can be in this picture.
A trusted source dropped off a piece of info a few days ago which we’ve been wanting to get up but when we saw an article this morning over at Engadget , it peaked our curiosity even more. This one goes out to all you Windows Phone 7 fans who are looking to see what phone Magenta might be picking up to deliver the brand new Windows Phone goodness
So we’ve seen images , have a great guess at a release date and a pretty decent idea as to what to expect inside the device . How about price, you guys want to know price don’t you
Another day, another rumor. Yesterday we heard about merging with Sprint , but what about surpassing them? Well, it is very possible that that could happen if this particular rumor came true. It’s not the first time we have been on this roller coaster, but yet another analyst says the iPhone is coming to T-Mobile. Tee Examiner’ s source says “There were talks about it, then strong rumors. Then, there were problems with the carrier. But now, the iPhone will definitely be available for T-Mobile.” Is there any reason to believe this iPhone rumor over any other iPhone rumor
iOS 4.1, which has had a few beta releases over the last couple months, has been released. It’s nothing too major, but let’s go down the additions: Updated Game Center HDR photos HD video uploads over WiFi TV show rentals It should be arriving next week.
Just last week, a couple of much-trusted birdies popped into the MobileCrunch office, claiming to have some details on SkyFire (a Flash-friendly mobile browser already available on a number of smartphone platforms) and its impending iPhone release. “They’ve entered the very final round of testing!” they said. “It’s going to get submitted to Apple early next week!” We’re one day past what we’d personally consider “early next week”, but sure enough: SkyFire has just announced that they’ve submitted the browser for Apple’s oh-so-important stamp of approval.
It seems like just yesterday, we were fighting our way through traffic on the way to Apple’s iPhone 4 antenna press conference. Today, we’re joining Apple for something a bit less out-of-the-blue: their annual September product announcement in San Francisco.
Now I know that the Froyo update for the Incredible was released on the 27th of this month, but that was just one of those limited-release roll-outs used to weed out any major faux pas before making it available to the great unwashed. If you weren’t lucky enough to get that joyous notification this past week, well, hold onto your hats, coz word on the web/streets is that the Froyo update is now being pushed out to all users. If this is the first you’ve heard of the Froyo update, and you’re peachy-keen (and you should be) to get it onto your device ASAP, then Android Central have a how-to on manually updating your phone.
T-mobile continues to bring the latest update to their 3G network to more cities today, with the “4G-like” HSPA+ speeds now available in: Boston, Mass. Erie, Penn.
