HTC Droid Incredible update to Froyo rolling out far and wide, manual install available

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Yeah, the Droid Incredible update was technically already deployed, but you know how these things work: they’re usually long, painful phased rollouts designed to limit the damage if something catastrophic happens in the over-the-air push. On that note, we’re excited to report that we’ve gotten a constant barrage of tips today suggesting that the update is at this time going out en masse — and as continuously, the update file’s already been sniffed out for you to download if you haven’t gotten it on your phone yet and you’re as distractingly impatient as we are. Let us know how it goes, alright, folks?

HTC Desire (US Cellular) review

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

HTC’s Desire is without doubt one of the headline Android devices of 2010 so far — and heck, when you’re using the already-great Nexus One as a starting point and re-upping it with an optical pad, physical buttons, and Sense, it’s hard to argue otherwise. US Cellular has at this time become the first carrier to bring the device to the States (nearly five grueling months since its first spats of international availability, we’d like to note), and because USCC’s a CDMA carrier, this is naturally a slightly different device than you’re getting elsewhere. Don’t get us wrong, most of the thoughts in our first review of the Desire still apply — but needless to say, this launch is notable enough to warrant a second look. Read on!
