First Look: “Official” G2 Pictures Leaked
Aug 31st
We’re less than a month away from the rumored G2 launch (Sept. 29) so we’re not surprised by the recent spate of leaks. This time around, we’re being treated what’s billed as the first “official” images of the T-Mobile handset. Check out three pictures of the device with carrier branding, in various angles!
As a recap, the HTC device will run Android 2.2 and feature a 3.7-Inch Active Matrix OLED display, 1 GHz Processor, and 5-megapixel camera with autofocus. Other details include support for WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and of course, T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network!
So, let’s hear it. Are you guys getting excited over this or what? Does T-Mobile have a serious flagship device worthy of comparison to the Droid 2 or Epic 4G,?

Rumor: Droid Incredible Froyo OTA Hitting September 1st (Here We Go Again!)
Aug 26th
Here we go again! According to the folks over at Droid-Life, “sources” are indicating* that the official Froyo update will begin hitting handsets on September 1st. Put this under the heading of “strictly rumor” for now though folks, however I really do hope Froyo goodness gets here soon!
Along with Froyo, users should also expect to get 720p HD video recording and a new boot screen. Obviously at this point, this is just a rumor, so I am not taking anything as 100% fact until I see Froyo on actual Droid Incredible handsets. When this happens to mine, I will post so all of you know.
*EDITOR NOTE: In the interim between scheduling this post and the publish time, we recognize that Droid Life is reporting the update may not be happening September 1st.

G2 Gets Closer to Release, Pops Up in FCC Filing
Aug 25th
We told you about the G2 possibly launching on September 29th, and we’ve found something that seems to support our theory. A phone that may well be the T-Mobile G2 has popped up in an FCC filing, listed as the HTC PC10100. According to the filing, it supports AWS 3G, 802.11n WiFi, and there are several HSPA+ references in there as well. That last bit especially makes it sound like the PC10100 is the G2.
This looks to be the much anticipated device that we’ve been talking about for months. We’ll keep you in the loop as more info on this device rolls in. But with FCC certification under its belt, the G2 is that much closer to being a reality.

Nexus One Dev Phone Out of Stock
Aug 20th
The Android Developers blog is saying that all you people who rushed to buy unlocked Nexus One dev handsets have tapped them out! Here is the quote from their blog:
A couple of weeks ago, we arranged that registered developers could buy an unlocked Nexus One via their publisher page in Android Market. We think it’s a good development platform and a nice phone. Apparently, you agree. Somewhat too many of you, in fact; we blew through the (substantial) initial inventory in almost no time, and they’re back-ordered from HTC, who are doing a pretty good job of managing runaway success amid a worldwide AMOLED shortage. Everyone appreciates that it’s important to the platform to get phones in the hands of developers, so we’re working hard on re-stocking the shelves; stand by.
It is good to see that the Nexus One still has legs right now, it will be interesting to see if sales continue to be brisk with the announcement of the G2 this week.

Desire HD and Desire Z details turn up
Aug 20th
While you won’t find any official pictures, the front page of mobiles.co.uk is listing the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z as phones that are coming soon. And when you put together leaked images, a September 15th event invitation, HSPA+ teasers, and confirmation of suspected specs, it looks like HTC has a great autumn in store for Android fans.
The specs listed at the retail site for the Desire HD are: Android 2.2, 4.3″ display, 1GHz processor, 8MP cam with 720p video capture, and 4GB of storage. The Desire Z (quite likely the G2) is said to feature: a 3.7″ display at 480×800, 1 GHz processor, hardware keyboard and Android 2.1.
In related leak/rumor news, DROID 2 “World Edition” and DROID Pro could be the same device, and enV Touch 2 might run Android. (Really?)

HTC code names slip out
Aug 18th
It’s well known around the interwebs that HTC is quite talented when it comes to conjuring up code-names. This new batch of names recently revealed by AndroidSpin is no exception. Keep in mind that close to nothing is known about the device these names may or may not pertain to, but it’s still fun to guess right? Here they are:
-HTC Speedy
-HTC Blitz (CDMA)
-HTC Mecha
-HTC Spade
If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Mecha. No particular reason, just like the way it sounds. Of course Speedy brings to mind… well… speed, but that’s a tad bit boring for my taste. It’s not uncommon to see devices renamed or to see one device with several different code-names, so we still don’t know exactly how many different devices we are looking at here. My guess would be at least 3. Look for more information on the devices these names are associated with sometime in the future.

More HTC Codenames to Watch For
Aug 18th
I don’t know about the rest of my AndroidGuys staff, but I love to hear of new codenames for handsets. Call me whatever you want, but there’s just something cool about project names and rumored phones. You can imagine my joy when I found four new HTC names in my inbox this morning. It’s time to put the following on your radar: HTC Speedy, HTC Blitz (CDMA), HTC Mecha, and HTC Spade. At this point, none of them have release dates or time frames associated with them, so if you have anything to share in regards to these, please hit us up on the contact page.
