| Samsung Galaxy S II Pre-order Numbers Beat iPhone 4′s Posted: 02 May 2011 05:52 PM PDT
In case there was ever a doubt that the Galaxy S II would be a hit in it’s homeland of Korea, Samsung is claiming that their newest flagship phone has claimed nearly 200,000 pre-orders in just one hour across all 3 major Korean carriers between Monday, March 25th and the handset’s launch that Friday. This is a definite win over last years iPhone 4 craze which saw roughly 110,000 pre-orders of Apple’s handset in the month of August just before it’s release. Just like the U.S. at that time, Apple was confined to only one carrier for it’s device which no doubt played a role in overall sales. Samsung is planning on getting 10 million of the Galaxy S II’s in customers’ pockets by the end of this year which is the same number they recieved for the original Galaxy S phone. While this sounds like a huge number apparently Samsung is being a bit modest compared to rival Apple’s 18.65 million iPhones shipped last winter. With it’s SAMOLED Plus screen, incredible battery life and kicky fast Exynos processor, I think the Galaxy S II will definitely be the smartphone to beat this summer(?). Early reviews of the handset are suggesting the same thing and I am itching to get my hands on one. [Via Electronista]

| Bump Gets Bumped Up to Version 2.0 Posted: 02 May 2011 03:16 PM PDT
Sharing application Bump received an update over the weekend, bringing its version number up to 2.0. Updated elements serve to bring a speed boost to the application, an improved user experience, and the ability to share multiple items in the same bump. Users can now send several contacts, pictures, and apps at a time. Previous bumpees are stored in your phone for quicker connections. If you are a Bump user your updates is waiting in the Android Market. If you haven’t already been prompted to do so, you can head over to the link below to manually install.

| A Look Inside the Lenovo LePad [TEARDOWN] Posted: 02 May 2011 02:25 PM PDT
We’ve heard the Lenovo LePad talked about for so long without a release, it might be helpful to have a reminder that is indeed available in some parts of the world. The tablet went on sale in China in March, and has since been torn apart and stripped down to its skivvies for all to see. Behold a 1.3GHz Snapdragon, Adreno 205 integrated graphics, and memory courtesy of Toshiba. Pretty standard stuff. The LePad is headed to the US later this year under the name Skylight, according to the most recent reports. It may or may not ever end up happening, as rumors have already surfaced of an Android 3.0 tablet from Lenovo that could serve as a replacement. CEO Yang Yuanqing has also stated several additional tablets will be available by the year’s end. [via Engadget]

| Best Buy Shipping HTC Flyer Pre-Orders May 22nd Posted: 02 May 2011 01:50 PM PDT
Best Buy’s pre-order for the HTC Flyer has been live since April 24th but only recently became available for those ordering online. While a definitive release date has yet to be announced, the addition of online pre-sales has revealed the shipping timeframe for the tablet. The Flyer is said to have an estimated arrival date of 5/22 to 5/27, putting HTC’s first Android slate right at the tail end of the month. If you didn’t make the trek down to your local Best Buy but want to reserve your very own Flyer, you can hit up Best Buy’s ordering page now. The Wi-Fi version of the tablet is selling for $499.

| Component Shortage Holding Asus Transformer Shipments to 10k Per Month Posted: 02 May 2011 12:32 PM PDT
When the Asus Eee Pad Transformer went on sale to the public last week, stores quickly sold out and many called the tablet an instant success. While we have no doubt the Transformer would move from shelves quickly given the chance, it looks like initial stock problems are actually the result of a component shortage and not overwhelming demand. Asus has initially aimed to ship 300,000 units per month, but the supply chain shortage has led to a much lower figure of 10,000. The company expects to struggle with low output until at least mid-June. Those looking for a well-priced tablet with top-tier hardware just can’t seem to catch a break. [via CrunchGear]

| Samsung and AT&T to Host Event in NYC this Thursday, Infuse 4G Announcement Imminent? Posted: 02 May 2011 12:12 PM PDT
An invite to a press event in New York City this Thursday just hit the inbox promising a ‘special announcement’ from Samsung and AT&T. There is nothing all that telling about the actual invitation, but if we had to hazard a guess we’d say the two companies might be looking to announce a release date for the Infuse 4G. We first heard of the phone way back at CES, and it seems to be the only device shared jointly that is worthy of its own event. We could be totally off here and there might just be something totally surprising in store. Given the loosely confirmed April release of the device has already passed, we’d still put our chips on the Infuse 4G.

Best Buy is quietly accepting pre-orders for the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint, but don’t expect the company to be pushing pre-sales in stores. Employees are under direct orders to only offer pre-sales to those inquiring about the EVO 3D. The reason for the tight-lipped secrecy is due to no official release date being announced for the device. Employees are instructed to only refer to a summer timeframe for the EVO 3D’s launch.
A pair of other handsets slated for launch sometime this summer have also appeared in Best Buy’s computer system. The Motorola DROID 3 and Motorola Droid X2 are listed complete with model numbers XT862 and MB870 respectively. You will notice this changes the naming scheme for the original Droid line, which featured model numbers A855 and A955. [via DroidLife, AndroidCentral]

| What is the Sony Ericsson Azusa? Posted: 02 May 2011 09:26 AM PDT
NenaMark has outed yet another phone thanks to testers putting unreleased phones through benchmarks, but what could it be? We know it’s from Sony Ericsson, has an Adreno 205 GPU (which would indicate Qualcomm’s latest 1GHz single-core Snapdragon processor is inside), runs Android 2.3.3 and has a high-resolution display. And we know its name is the Azusa – one such name we haven’t heard before. Is it the Xperia Acro’s codename in Japan? Or is it the codename for the Arc in America or Canada? Or is it an entirely new device? Yea, we don’t know either, but be sure to let us know if you do! [PocketNow]

| Posted: 02 May 2011 08:54 AM PDT The Samsung DROID Charge is the second 4G LTE capable phone for Verizon Wireless which immediately makes it a must-consider device. Although 4G network problems caused a delay in the April 28th launch date, Samsung’s first 4G phone for Verizon will be arriving sooner rather than later. The questions is – when it arrives – is it for you? Let’s find out. Hardware ReviewThe DROID Charge has some striking angles and curves that give it an enjoyably original look: the front has a curved top and angled bottom while the rear also angles in and brings the phones bulk to a cusp at the bottom. This shape and style is duplicated with the design of the camera.
Call me crazy, but from a stylistic standpoint the curves and angles remind me of a DODGE Charger mixed with a little Transformers.
The most impressive feature of the screen isn’t the massive 4.3-inch size (which is great) but instead the Super AMOLED Plus technology. It’s amazingly bright and beautiful – even more so than the Super AMOLED predecessor – apparently that extra plus packs some power. Under sunlight, the DROID Charge performs better than most of the competition. Overall, one of the most vivid screens available on a mobile phone. With an 8MP camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 3.5mm headset jack, HDMI-out, MicroUSB port, MicroSD slot and 1600 mAh battery, the DROID Charge is rounded out with strong smartphone features. But beyond the beautiful screen, the highlight here is the 4G LTE connectivity offered, requiring a 4G SIM card found underneath the battery cover.
The Charge is driven by a 1GHz single-core Hummingbird processor and has 2GB of internal memory, 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM. A couple years ago 1GHz was impressive, but with added features like Super AMOLED Plus and 4G LTE connectivity, the power required to run smoothly has been boosted too. I’d like to say this phone is amply powered but I noticed plenty of sluggishness over several days of use, mostly in screen animations and web browsing, so I can’t be sure if problem is mostly hardware or software based. A few final gripes include the lack of an LED Notification light and an overall plasticky feel that is prevalent in Samsung’s other Android products including the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab. However, this also means you get an extremely light device for it’s size and it’s slim too, measuring less than 1/2 an inch thick. Much like the hardware buttons on the bottom (Menu/Home/Back/Search), the general feel and look of a device is usually composed of tradeoffs and preferences. Software ReviewRunning TouchWiz atop Android 2.2, the Droid Charge operates much like Samsung’s previously popular line of Android Devices based on the Galaxy S Series. You’ve got 7 home screens, 4 software buttons (Phone/Contacts/Messages/Applications) fixed on the bottom of the screen, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS/Mobile Data/Auto-rotation toggles in the pull-down notification area.
Pressing on the application tray shows all applications and games installed, allowing you to scroll through them horizontally. A nice new feature is the ability to re-arrange applications within the app tray or delete them from your phone completely from the app tray; simply touch the gear in the upper left to initiate these options. Similarly, the gear on the homepage allows you to easily change which of the 7 screens acts as your Home Screen.
There are a lot of apps that come pre-installed on the phone, most of which you won’t ever use. However those who prefer Swype for their keyboard input will be happy to know it’s included. Some of the other apps that come pre-installed include Amazon Kindle, Backup Assistant, Bitbop, Blockbuster, Let’s Golf 2, Rhapsody, Rockband, Slacker Radio, TuneWiki, ThinkFree Office, Task Manager, and many more. Keep in mind that Samsung and Verizon have both put their own proprietary portals on the device including AllShare, MediaHub, Verizon Apps, and Mobile Hotspot. That last feature will allow you to connect up to 5 devices to your phone and use your phone like a Wi-Fi router. With 4G connectivity this means a load of awesomeness. You could take your laptop and phone anywhere you’d like and get internet access on your computer through your good old DROID Charge (assuming it has connectivity). While Touchwiz has improved, I’m still unimpressed overall when considering design and functionality. In many ways, Touchwiz looks like an Android and iPhone UI lovechild but it lacks the functionality of the first and beauty of the second. The square boxes surrounding app icons in the application tray distract my eyes and behind apps/games downloaded from Android Market, look flat-out ugly. Furthermore, most of the widgets are useless because they try too hard to look pretty. Case in point is the “Buddies now” widget that not only marginally improves quick communication, but greatly slows down the home screens (see video for example). Fortunately, we’re still running on Android 2.2 which means you’ll be getting most of the goodies you bargained for when going with a DROID. One hidden gem of the DROID Charge is it’s out-of-the-box ability to take screen captures. Check out this little tutorial: You can take screen captures pretty much anywhere, from home screens to in-app screen shots, all by holding down the back button and pressing the home key. Very nice little addition that will inevitably be loved, and to celebrate I’ve already started the Official “Share Your Homescreen” thread on AndroidForums.
Above are a few of mine stitched together. Cal Ripken, Andy Rubin, Zelda… I don’t keep bad company! Multimedia ReviewVideos and Games
Out of the gate you’ve got YouTube which will allow you to select from a HUGE number of videos to watch in HD. Both BitBop (labeled as TV on the go) and BlockBuster (labeled as that video place you always used to go to back in the day) are both pre-installed on the device, providing a couple alternative High Def video options. Regardless of what you use to stream video, we haven’t yet mentioned the component (beyond the amazing screen) that makes the DROID Charge a heavenly video watching phone: 4G. If you’re in a 4G area, you’re in luck, because your phone will be able to download streaming videos at lightning speeds- you’ll rarely have to wait while the video “buffers”. And as we’ve explained, once it arrives on the screen it looks really, really good. Don’t forget you can also store your own videos on the MicroSD card (which holds up to 32GB) and the Charge is compatible with a number of different video formats. Just like video, gaming is impressive and enjoyable, but one downfall is some of today’s top games require a dual-core processor for downloading. Web Browsing Fortunately, this can be partially fixed by:
While this essentially prevents ads from loading, it also prevents other type of content from loading such as videos and animated “feature” sections. Hopefully this is an issue Samsung can correct with a software update… I know ALL of you want to browse Phandroid with ads fully intact to support our hard work and efforts (/sarcasm). Music & More Camera ReviewThe DROID Charge has both an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for self-pics, video chat, and mirror functionality. Overall, I found the camera quality to be excellent. Unless you plan on printing life-size posters I think you’ll find the DROID Charge camera to be amazing… and I’ve got the pictures to prove it. It doesn’t come without flaws, and I’ve got a couple minor gripes (which I’ll share), but let’s take a look at the results. First of all, I was stunned by the macro shots this camera took. By selecting Settings (the gear) Focus Mode > Auto Focus > Macro, you can take some fantastic up close pictures of flowers, insects, or whatever else may be super close. Take a peek at this flower I snapped in my parent’s garden (click to enlarge):
At only 550px wide that looks great, but click on the image above and you’ll see its full 3264 x 2448 pixel glory. Or take a look below at a cropped portion of the full-sized image:
In case you didn’t know, that’s an absurdly great picture for a mobile phone. That’s a better picture than I’ve gotten on most of my dedicated digital cameras and to be honest, seems like DSLR quality! When taking Macro pictures… maybe that whole poster-size image exception isn’t needed. I’m still wowed. I was also impressed with the front-facing camera. At an Orioles vs. Red Sox game, I decided to test out the functionality. The look on my sister’s face is of genuine surprise: she was literally amazed with the self-pic feature and smiling/gasping at what she thought was really cool:
Wow. For a front-facing camera that’s only 1.3MP, that’s a solid picture (click to enlarge). To be honest, I’d argue that the front-facing camera on this phone is better than the 5MP+ main cameras on a lot of mobile phones on the market. Definitely goes to show that consumer obsession with megapixels derives from marketers marketing and consumers taking the bait – it’s not all about megapixles, other elements are equally important. I was really impressed with this quality and it makes the general purpose of a front camera so much more meaningful when it works this well. “But wait a minute-” my sister said, “Your shirt is backwards.” She was right. The front-facing camera functions like a mirror, inversing the values of the X axis. That’d be great if its primary feature was a mirror, but if you’re using the camera to take self-pics you’ll publish on Facebook, be warned. This was my backwards expression after realizing she was right:
Disbelief. And no, I’m not homeless, I was just too lazy to shave. It grows fast. So it takes great Macro pictures and great backwards front-facing pictures, but what about regular old point-and-shoot pictures? How’s the flash? I found the typical scenery or portrait picture quality to be well above average and the flash wasn’t great, but definitely on par with the upper class of other Android offerings.
I was a little bit less impressed with video, which I would call average. Nothing to write home about, but no glaring problems that reduce it to useless. The below video was taken with 1280 x 720 dimensions, saving as an MP4 of 51.1MB and uploaded directly to YouTube: My main complaint with the Samsung DROID Charge camera is the User Interface – it’s a bit too complicated. On a mobile device you want QUICK access to all the features and while Samsung’s intentions are good – eager to provide a host of options – they’ve made tinkering too tedious for my liking. You’ve got “shooting mode” options which are paginated (2 pages) which allow you to take a regular picture or select special modes like Smile Shot, Panorama, Beauty, Continuous, Add Me, Action and Cartoon. Try them all… they’re actually pretty cool “trick” shots. Then there is a settings option which has 2 tabs (camera / tools) and each of those are paginated (5 pages and 2 pages respectively). This is where it seems like a bit too much and I feel like they could have designed the options to be a bit more user friendly. That being said, quick access to switching cameras, flash/no-flash, and white balance are helpful options and the volume up/down functioning as the zoom in/out is a nice touch since it’s in the perfect place. When it comes down to it, the most important feature of the camera is the result, and the DROID Charge is a real winner in this category. Verizon 4G LTEVerizon’s 4G speeds are pretty phenomenal and as of this review, can only be found on the HTC Thunderbolt and Samsung DROID Charge Android Phones. It makes activities like watching streaming videos, listening to streaming music, downloading apps/games/content, and browsing the web much more instantaneous and enjoyable. The days of “buffering” and waiting are almost over.
Wow. I’m not sure what else there is to say. Do the math – there’s a good chance my Droid CHARGE is consistently quicker in downloading/uploading data then your Wi-Fi modem. I did this test from my desk in the heart of Baltimore and obviously, your results will vary based on location/proximity to 4G towers. It would be reckless of me not to include that the DROID Charge was delayed because Verizon’s 4G network had an outage that created huge problems for HTC Thunderbolt owners for a couple days. I experienced the tail end of this and found that the 4G outage prevented ALL my data services from working but I could still make voice calls. Verizon’s 4G network is now back up and running and I’d bet on increased reliability in the future. Verizon is known for reliability and there are just certain unforeseen hiccups you come across when launching a new network on a national scale. Don’t let the 4G drama war prevent you from picking up the DROID Charge. Wildcards: Battery Life, Call Quality, QuadrantYou’ll find a 1600 mAh battery in the the Charge which is larger than many of its compareable competitors. This is a good thing because while I got decent battery life, I didn’t experience any noticeable improvements over my current phone (Droid X) which has a 1540 mAh battery. However, considering the Charge needs to power a Super AMOLED Plus screen and channel a 4G network, I’d say battery life was adequate. Call quality was good. Everything could be heard and transmitted loud and clear and the speaker phone provided plenty of volume – I get irritated when I can’t turn it “up” any higher and still can’t hear it well enough. Lastly, the latest rage seems to be performing various benchmarks on phones to see which perform best. I agree, this is a great way to measure and compare various aspects of phones, but I also wonder about their accuracy. They’re essentially consumerizing a bunch of data that’s way over the average person’s head and putting it into a numbered score that oversimplifies reality. That being said, if you use it as a general indicator and not law of the land, it can be helpful: my Quadrant score for the Charge consistently lingered around the 1000 mark. The Verdict
If you want a great Android Phone now, the DROID Charge is a good pick. If you’re willing to wait, you may want to consider holding out for a dual-core device, but the camera and screen surely make this tempting. For help deciding, head on over to Android Forums and visit the DROID Charge Forum to hear what others have to say.

| Next Major Android Update Will Be Ice Cream Sandwich, Says Romain Guy Posted: 02 May 2011 08:30 AM PDT
Eric Schmidt had already mentioned that the next major revision of Android would be a dessert starting with the letter “i” and trusted sources of ours have already assured us that “Ice Cream” or “Ice Cream Sandwich” would be the codename, but it doesn’t get much more official than this. Romain Guy – a known Google – responded to a Google Code issue on the Android project hub to let the inquirer know that the issue will be fixed in “Ice Cream Sandwich”. While we still haven’t been able to confirm what exact version number Ice Cream Sandwich will receive, Android 3.1 is the most popular. Eric Schmidt did confirm that this version would be bringing some features of Honeycomb to smartphones (where the fusion would make sense, of course). Another thing we haven’t been able to confidently peg is a date, but Google I/O’s coming up in a bit over a week and Google’s been known to make some juicy, sweet announcements there. [Thanks Yuankai!]

| Need to Get Rid of a Phone That’s Broken? RadioShack Will Give You $25; Offering G2x for $99 Posted: 02 May 2011 08:16 AM PDT
Yea, I know $25 isn’t much (and you can probably get much more than that for a broken phone on eBay and Craigslist), but RadioShack is offering you that much money for your broken products. Unfortunately, this must be used in their store toward something else – an accessory or a phone upgrade, perhaps. This is hardly the best solution for those who are looking to get some cash for their phones, but if you have a phone that no one will take or fix whatsoever, it might be your only hope.
And you can’t just bring in any old phone. Here’s a list of what they’ll take:
I’d only take advantage of this in a situation where I absolutely can not get rid of it or get it fixed. It’s going on through May 31st if you’re planning on dumping a broken phone off on them. In related news, they’re offering T-Mobile’s G2x for just $99 today. Not bad for one of the fastest dual-core handsets on the market. (And with stock Android to boot.) Head over there now to take advantage.

| Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 and 5.0 Launching in South Korea Posted: 02 May 2011 08:08 AM PDT
Samsung has finally officially launched both products within their new Galaxy S WiFi lineup – the 4 inch and 5 inch editions. The former is more like the phone itself with no cellular radios inside for voice or data, while the latter stretches the boundaries just as deal did with the original Streak. (Except the original Streak was actually meant to be used as a phone.) Switzerland is getting the bigger brother while Russia and other countries should be getting the 4 incher. These start out with Android 2.2, will come in 8GB and 16GB configurations, will have DivX certification and – yes – access to the Android market. Read on for full press details.

| Toshiba’s Honeycomb Tablet Hits the FCC With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Posted: 02 May 2011 07:59 AM PDT
Toshiba may finally be set to bring their tablet out as the FCC has given them the green light to sell it. This one only has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth inside of it, but we expected as much. Toshiba’s been fairly quiet about the tablet although we’ve already heard a lot of what it’ll have to offer. This thing comes with a 10.1 inch HD display, NVIDIA’s 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, front and rear cameras, 32 gigs of internal storage and a lot more. We don’t expect to go further than the beginning of the summer without seeing it. (But we’d be a lot more confident saying that if Toshiba would just name the darn thing already.) [Wireless Goodness]

| MyTouch 4G Gingerbread Test ROM Leaked Posted: 02 May 2011 07:39 AM PDT
The MyTouch 4G remained modern as it launched with Froyo, but now that Gingerbread’s here more than a few of you are ready to upgrade. T-Mobile has not forgotten about you, though, as they are currently testing a Gingerbread build for you guys. This one has HTC Sense 2.1 but still has that unique Espresso variant not seen on many other HTC devices. XDA has the flashable goods courtesy of 911 Sniper. We expect things to be stable for the most part but just remember that bugs and nuclear devastation may occur in unofficial builds. Proceed at your own risk. [via PocketNow]

| PDANet 3.0 Adds Feature to Help Mask Tethering Use, But Verizon Users May Be Out of Luck Posted: 02 May 2011 06:58 AM PDT The folks behind PDANET have released version 3.0 of their application, and although they didn’t include a changelog on the Android market listing they did tweet what the update brought – the ability to hide your unauthorized tether usage from your carrier. It’s a proactive move from them in light of recent carrier movements to help stop unauthorized tethering so that they may charge you for that right. AT&T first warned iPhone users about their “illegal” actions and we feared they might catch on to Android users next. While we don’t foresee that happening any time soon, JuneFabrics isn’t going to wait for carriers to take action before they do. Version 3.0 brings a masking feature which supposedly blocks your carrier from seeing your usage. We’re not sure what they’re doing to achieve this and we’re not sure if carriers can work around their method to make it useless. The developers say that most users shouldn’t even need this, but do enable the option if you start receiving letters or text messages from your carrier.
One Verizon user has claimed that the carrier is somehow causing these applications to fail by disabling and reenabling USB debugging every five minutes on Froyo devices, but I have not had the opportunity to check this claim at the time of this writing. (And this is the only report I’ve heard claiming as much.) I can confirm that this issue is not isolated to Verizon, though, and may actually just be a bug in the phone or application itself. Our tipster stated he didn’t start having the issue until he upgraded to Android 2.2, but users on the Android market are reporting that the latest update to the application causes the same – it’s highly unlikely that they’re Verizon users unless they commented from the web version of Android market. (Even then, there’s no way they could pin the problem on the update since they’d be unable to update in the first place.) We’ve contacted JuneFabrics for comment. Whether or not they’re doing it, Verizon has already shown their cards when it comes to tethering – they don’t like it and they will do everything in their power to keep it from happening. They’ve gone as far as blocking their users from being able to see popular tether applications in the Android market such as EasyTether and PDANet. This doesn’t stop those users from installing the tether applications, though, as they can be had in places other than the Android market. For the time being, PDANet 3.0 is only available for Windows desktops, but a Mac version is expected to follow it shortly. [Thanks Stan!]

I was prepared for an average device when I started using the DROID Charge but what I experienced blew me away. In my opinion, the DROID Charge will launch as the phone with both the best camera and the best screen (Super AMOLED Plus), with 4G connectivity to boot. These facts alone mean I can confidently recommend the DROID Charge, especially if taking pics and big screens are your thing. To enjoy these features, you’ll have to endure Samsung’s Touchwiz interface, lack of LED notifications, plasticky and light build quality, and a processor that seems slightly underpowered considering the ship it’s steering.
