How To’s

So we reported on Sony’s first Android handset, coded named the Rachael, earlier this month. We assumed, due to the lack of any further information, that this sexy new handset was not going to be available for quite a while. Well, turns out that a certain retailer in the UK actually put the device up on their site for pre-order! That leads us to believe that it is actually coming out a lot sooner than […]

The Black Label series (LG’s super stylish line up) has brought you phones like the Chocolate, the Shine, and the Secret.  Well, now, they have truely outdone themselves with the new LG BL40 (I’m sure they will have a much more stylish name than that at release, of course). A video and some specs leaked recently and I must admit I’ve never considered owning a Black Label series phone before, but the BL40 definitely has

So Google has more awesome free stuff for us! Use it sparinglythough as I’m sure it is somehow getting Google one step closer to their goals of taking over the world (and having us smile while they do it).

The Hero has a rival… Check out the new Sony Ericsson Rachael (will probably launch under an Xperia-ish name), Sony’s first Android device (and possibly their saving grace). The phone has some monster specs that have been leaked as well as a nice shell to hold them all in: Processor: Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform, that provides a 1GHz CPU and dedicated graphics acceleration Wifi, 3G, and GPS a given. 8MP Camera 3.5mm Audio Out and a

Yes, that is right. G1 and/or Magic users might be getting an upgrade with the Rosie UI in it (HTC is now calling it Sense UI). The UI is basically what TouchFlo was for Windows Mobile and we love it! People at XDA have been trying to port the UI over to the G1 and Magic for some time now, but it just isn’t quite working as well as hoped (no disrespect to the XDA

PLEASE NOTE! This method is obsolete! Please refer to the newer Rooting/Loading Custom ROM methods on our site: Unroot (G1) OR Unroot(MyTouch), then Root, then Load a Custom ROM, Apps2SD/Hero etc. So you like HTC’s new Rosie Interface on their new HTC Hero phone?

The new HTC Hero was finally announced (so you G1 users trying to load the leaked Hero ROM onto your G1’s can finally see what it would run like with the beefed up specs the Hero brings to the table).
