That’s the HTC Titan II standing tall in the new Telstra consumer catalogue — teased as Australia’s first 4G Windows Phone…and arguably the best Win Phone this side of a Nokia; complete with 16-megapixel camera and 4.7-inch (480×800) display.
Two premium Android smartphones eye each other off nervously before entering into the Battlemodo arena. One sells itself on its insanely high resolution screen; the other on its insanely fast camera. Only one of them can be our preferred Android superphone — which one will it be?
Is it a comically-large miner’s lamp? An homage to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers? And why is he falling out of a plane? To show you how well this phone’s camera takes pictures, obviously.
HTC has been awarded a patent for a technology that would let you unlock your smartphone or tablet with your face. However, Face Unlock is already a feature on Android that first appeared on Ice Cream Sandwich. Does this mean a war is brewing among the Android crowd?
HTC held its Australian launch for the HTC One X last night. We went along to check out HTC’s newest superphone, and here are our initial impressions.
Vodafone has now locked in the HTC One X (see our hands on). Pre-orders kick off today for the 4.7-inch, Android 4.0 phone with 1.5GHz and Tegra 3 processor, and it hits stores next Tuesday.
The Patent Wars have been going on for so long that you start to forget why we’re here. Who shot first — Apple? Samsung? Greedo? Paul M. Barrett at Businessweek has a great rundown on how we got here, and why everything stems back to Apple’s crusade against Android.
HTC has announced that it is going to shut down its half-arsed backup service, HTCsense.com, to replace it with “new and improved services”. But if you have any data stored there, download it real quick — after April 30, it’ll be deleted for good.
When Virgin Mobile announced it’d be selling the One X, I pretty much picked that it’d also end up at Optus as well. Optus has just confirmed this, as well as announcing its pricing plans.
HTC’s One handsets are lining up to be interesting creatures, but the exact details of which carrier would snag which handset hasn’t been clear. The One X has emerged at an unlikely first port of call; it’ll be a Virgin Mobile handset.
