LG Star struts its stuff on film, toys with an iPhone 4 (video)

We can't get enough of the world's first Tegra 2 smartphone, the LG Star , so if the 4-inch diva wants a closeup while parading about Tel Aviv, who are we to argue? GSM Israel somehow managed to obtain the same dual-core Android 2.2 handset we glimpsed earlier this afternoon , complete with 8 megapixel camera and HDMI port. Though we don't have the foggiest idea what they're saying in the video after the break, the LG-P990 certainly seems to be a speedy little machine in side-by-side webpage load tests with the fan-favorite iPhone 4, though we seem to detect a hint of hesitation when the Star's capacitive touchscreen gets brushed. ...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 hacked to support multitouch, sort of

So there's no recent sign of an official multitouch update ever coming to the maligned X10 from Sony Ericsson, but you know how it goes: when a manufacturer fails to step up to the plate, a hacker with a heart of gold (or two) usually does so in its place. So it goes in this case, with folks on xda-developers showing off some very, very rudimentary multitouch capability on video...

Samsung Solstice II hitting AT&T this Sunday for $30

It's been well over a year since the original Samsung Solstice found its way onto AT&T -- so yeah, needless to say, it's about time for an update.

Huawei Ascend is the $150 Android smartphone you might actually want to own

When the Huawei Ascend launches on prepaid carrier Cricket Wireless later this month, it will cost $150. That's not after a rebate or with a two-year agreement, mind you -- for three portraits of Ulysses S. Grant, you actually own the phone...

AT&T debuts trio of Motorola Android phones: Bravo, Flipout and Flipside

BlackBerry Style 9670′s UI demoed in leaked official videos

RIM has yet to officially announce the upcoming Style 9670 flip, but the leakfest continues today with a handful of new videos -- professionally-produced ones this time -- that show off key features of the UI and how to use them. Unlike the Torch , the Style lacks a touchscreen -- it just wouldn't be prudent in a clamshell form factor -- which means we're seeing just what it's like to navigate the finer points of BlackBerry 6's user interface with an optical pad (and secondary display) alone on a larger, portrait-oriented display. ...
