Motorola Charm Rooted!
Sep 1st
Boom! And just like that, the XDA-Developers have rooted the Motorola Charm. The handset was rooted via the Universal Androot method, but the NAND isn’t unlocked during the process, so reverting back to stock is quite simple. No custom ROMS yet, but I am betting they are already in the pipeline. If you want instructions hit up the thread here.
As always folks, flash with caution and make sure to follow directions to a T.

If you have a Droid handset, you’re advised to be on the lookout for the update.

Rumored Tip: Sprint 4G Turned on in Ft. Lauderdale
Aug 20th
We had a tip come in from one of readers named Brian, saying that he is seeing a marked increase in download speeds on his Sprint phone. He resides in the Ft. Lauderdale area, which was slated for having 4G turned on this summer sometime. If you live that area, let us know in the comments if you are having the faster download speeds there, we are looking to either confirm or deny this tip!

The G2 Gets Caught in the Wild!
Aug 20th
Engadget this morning released some in the wild images of the newly announced G2! If you look closely at the picture to the left, you will see that the G2 is indeed the HTC Vision as we mentioned last night on AGTN.
There are a couple of things that come with T-Mobile’s announcement of the G2 and the release of these images. The first being that we can finally dispense with the silly G-1 Blaze rumors that were sweeping the Android community. We have definite branding for this handset as T-Mobile is naming this as the successor to the G1, and is going to be the first HSPA+ phone that T-Mo is officially releasing.
The second thing that comes from this is the renewed relationship between T-Mo and Google, as this is going to be a Google experience phone.
Check after the break for another pic!

T-Mobile’s Rugged, Waterproof Motorola Jordan
Aug 18th
Ever find yourself at the bottom of a swimming pool thinking, “I really need to tweet this“? You’ll be happy to learn that the Motorola Jordan, which is expected to drop in November, is said to be waterproof to depths of 10 meters. According to a BGR source, the phone will be ruggedized, meaning it will likely be able to take a battery of dirt, wind, drops, and pressure. This would mark the second ruggedized Android handset after Sprint’s push-to-talk i1 released last month. Let’s just hope T-Mobile’s version is not a 1.5 device, too.

HTC Desire HD Randomly Appears on Amazon UK, Disappears Just as Fast
Aug 18th
The HTC Desire HD has been all over the web. First, the leaked image, second the blurry cam video, and now finally an appearance on Amazon UK. That’s right, Electric Pig captured what is believed to be a product listing of the HTC Desire HD. The handset is priced at $650.00 (a little steep maybe). The only other detail gleaned from the page is the “Ace” codename, but given that the whole thing has since been yanked, it’s impossible to know what else was hidden. Doubtful any product info would be given to Amazon unless a product launch was scheduled for very soon. Gonna just have to wait and see!
