The comeback handset Motorola is launching is called… Droid, or was it Droid “Does”, coz it’s meant to do everything the iphone can’t. I played with one at the Verizon store and I must admit, the screen is gorgeous. As I never owned an Android phone running 1.5, I couldn’t tell the difference with Version 2.0. I did try out the free turn-by-turn navigation and it’s good enough I guess, still can’t beat a dedicated GPS unit. Overall, the feel and look of it is great, abit too big for my taste but that’s the price you pay for a 4.1″ screen. Check out the review by Engadget here.
Ohh, this thing looks tasty, first it’s touch screen, next it runs Android, has 8mb camera, wi-fi, bluetooth, VGA video at 30frames/sec, HSDPA, makes coffee. Sweet!! You can pre-order one here.
HTC just announced today their 3rd Android handset named Hero. It’s similar looking to the HTC Dream or G2 but now it comes with customised UI like the TouchFlo UI seen on HTC WinMo devices. Check out the demo below, looking good mates.
Samsung have announced their first ever Android phone, named the I7500. It’s a slim touch-screen only phone with full features like 7.2M HSDPA, up to 40Gb internal memorial plus an external SD slot, wi-fi etc.. Now I wonder how much this phone will cost, sounds expensive. Check it out here.
HTC and vodafone have come up with the next Android phone called Magic. It’s basically similar to the first HTC G1 phone without the keypad. It’s all touchscreen folks, just like the other lots. I would prefer it if it were super slim. Check it out here.
Kogan, an Australian company is selling, Yes Selling!! an Android powered 3G mobile phone call the Agora.

HTC is to launch their very first Android phone named “Dream” tomorrow (09/23/2008) at a New York Event. T-mobile will be the lead carrier to sell this phone. Looks promising, the software feels smooth and have alot of potential tho the Handset looks abit bulky. I’ll probably wait abit longer before getting one of these babies. Check out a demo here.
