Video: HTC Desire HD makers its HD debut

Monday 9 August 2010 @ 8:50 am

It’s been less than 48 hours since the first blurry cam images of the HTC Desire HD surfaced on the web and how we have for great HD video of the handset.  Solo Palmari has posted up a short clip on their YouTube channel which shows off the HTC Desire HD’s new body.  The internals of the HTC Desire may be pretty similar to the HTC EVO 4G, but the uni-body aluminum shell that wraps around the handset gives the Desire HTC a look which more closely resembles that of the HD2. 

In our last post we mentioned that the HTC Desire HD would not feature a front facing camera.  We may actually have to retract that statement since the video reveals a little block dot on the right of the speaker grill which was not really visible in the previous image that we spotted.

First picture of upcoming HTC Desire HD hits the web

Saturday 7 August 2010 @ 1:32 pm

When we first heard about the upcoming HTC Desire HD (aka HTC Ace), we came to the conclusion that it would be a GSM version of the HTC EVO 4G for the European market. Now, the first picture of the HTC Desire HD has surfaced, proving that we were on the right track. The HTC Desire HD features a 4.3 inch display, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 8MP camera with 720p video recording, all running on Android 2.2

The HTC Desire HD is expected to launch in October and will most likely show up on all major EU and UK carriers. Though the HTC Desire HD does look to be a simple GSM replica of the HTC EVO, it will feature a few tricks its CDMA counterpart does not enjoy (yet).

  • Face tracking
  • SRS audio technology
  • Aluminum body

Four out of the top five best selling Android phones in Q2 are made by HTC

Wednesday 4 August 2010 @ 11:41 am

The latest report from NPD has just unveiled that Android has reached the number one spot as the best selling smartphone OS in America.  RIM’s Blackberry phones have been at the top since late 2007, but it looks like Android will be holing the top honor for quite some time.  Android finished off the quarter with 33% while RIM dropped to 28% and Apple gained a little, moving up to 22%. 

While the numbers are pretty impressive, we’re a little more excited to announce that the top five list of best selling Android phones for Q2 in the U.S. market included the HTC DROID Incredible, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Hero, and HTC DROID Eris.  HTC was not able to bump the Motorola DROID from the number one spot, but I’m pretty sure they are happy to have secured the other four. 

We are pretty confident that HTC will continue to lead the way on the Android front over the next few quarters.  The HTC Hero will most likely be faded out over the next few months just as the DROID Eris recently pulled off a silent disappearing act a few weeks back.  With 3-4 new Android phones from HTC expected to hit between now and the end of the year, HTC should have no problem staying at the top of the list, helping Android increase its market share lead over the competition.

HTC and Sprint unleash Froyo for the HTC EVO 4G

Monday 2 August 2010 @ 8:49 pm

If you havn’t heard, Android 2.2 for the HTC EVO 4G has finally landed.  No,m this isn’t another one of those pre-releases that have been floating around for the past few days.  There’s no five step process to manually download an install the update either. From your home screen, simply press menu > settings > system updates  > firmware update.  Your EVO ping the servers to check for the update.  Since HTC’s servers are getting slammed right now, it will probably take quite a long time for download the 84.4MB update (we’ve been at if for nearly 20 minutes over Wi-Fi).

Those of you who still get a message saying that there is no system update to install, keep in mind that Sprint is staggering the updates so that their systems don’t crash. If you wait a day of two, you’re turn will come.  However, there’s a little tweak you can do if you’re not to keen on waiting.  In your phone’s settings, simply change the date to two weeks out and then restart your EVO.  Once the phone boots back up, it’ll ping the servers again and find the file to download.

Let us know how the download and install process goes.
