Sprint Announcement: Kyocera Echo Smartphone To Be Released?

Sprint is planning to make an announcement at its " Making the Impossible Possible" event in New York City Monday evening. "Illusionist" David Blaine will be there--but what news is the company planning to share?

According to the Wall Street Journal, Sprint will be taking the wraps off of a new smartphone: the dual-screen Echo from Kyocera Corp. ( Read Kyocera Echo more... )

Sprint’s Kyocera Echo to be a Dual-Screen Android [Ultimate Multi-Tasking]

We knew Sprint had something special up their sleeves in conjunction with Kyocera – and early reports confirmed its name would be the Echo – but details were and still are scarce. According to new updates by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, however, the device will indeed be an industry first. ( Read Kyocera Echo more... )

Sprint Kyocera Echo dual-touchscreen Android phone tipped for imminent reveal

Sprint is expected to launch a dual-touchscreen smartphone made by Kyocera later today, pairing two 3.5-inch touchscreens and running Android. According to the WSJ, the Sprint Kyocera Echo has what’s described as a “pivot hinge” – presumably a double-hinged arrangement – which allows one screen to fold back against the other out of the way. We’re imagining something similar to Fujitsu’s prototype, shown here. ( Read Kyocera Echo more... )

Kyocera Echo leaks on Sprint's site

We still don't know whether this'll be the "industry first" shown off at Sprint's event later today, but in light of the WSJ's information, we certainly wouldn't be surprised. A quick check of Sprint's site currently shows a hit for the Kyocera Echo, described as "the first dual-touchscreen smartphone" that offers a "pivot hinge" design with a maximum of 4.7 inches of combined screen real estate while still being "pocket-friendly." No other details are offered -- and the link to the Echo product page is dead right now -- but it's an interesting tidbit nonetheless. ( Read Kyocera Echo more... )

Sprint to get HTC Arrive, Kyocera Echo smartphones?

Two new previously unheard of handsets are coming to Sprint, according to a Monday Engadget report. Other than the logos and names for the two, the HTC Arrive and Kyocera Echo, not much else is currently known. The HTC model is said to be powered by Windows Phone 7, however, and a trademark registration at the USPTO confirms the upcoming availability of this phone; it may be the name for the 7 Pro slider.

Exclusive: future LG Android phone for Verizon sports LTE

We were just handed this image with very little detail other than the fact that we're looking at "a future LG high end Android phone for Verizon," but we can deduce a few things: one, and perhaps most notably, you can just barely make out an LTE logo toward the bottom of the back.

That likely makes this one of the six-odd LTE phones Verizon has publicly said are slated for the first half of next year. Secondly, it's got an HD camera of some sort -- probably indicating either 720p or 1080p capture -- and finally, it appears to have a huge, mirrored display and possibly a front-facing cam in the upper right. Looks like there's also a WiFi logo on back (of course), but can anyone make out the other two logos there? And more importantly, can anyone wait for this to launch?

Update: It's been proposed that one of the logos might be for DLNA, since LG's a major DLNA player -- most recently with its PlayTo service on Windows Phone 7.

HTC Knight surfaces for Sprint with Android and a sliding hinge of some sort?

What do we know about the picture above? Not much more than meets the eye -- this alleged HTC Knight is for Sprint and navigates Android using capacitive touchscreen keys. We do get a little more detail from the source of the image, who gave XDA-developers an XML file that mentions users should not "slide screen in/out" during activation. That certainly suggests that we're looking at a slider, but not necessarily a physical QWERTY keyboard -- after all, a very similar-looking HTC device recently appeared sporting a slide-out speaker bar.

Moog Filtatron for iPhone Makes Wonderful Noise

Here at Switched, we love things that make noise. And when it comes to noise-making, few names have a stronger pedigree than Moog. The granddaddy of electronic music has released Filtatron, an iPhone app based around the classic Moog Ladder Filter that gives the company's analogue effects and synths their distinctive sound. You can use the digitally modeled classic filter to manipulate input from your iPhone's mic, recorded audio samples or the built-in oscillator. Filtatron even has a small bank of effects for adding distortion or delay to your sounds. While the preset samples and sound settings are fun to play with, you really unlock the power of the app when you start processing tones from the oscillator and your own recorded clips by manipulating them with the pads. You can change practically any settings or levels using the pads, allowing you to sweep through delay levels, play the oscillator or pump up the distortion. The pads are split in two so that you can alter two settings at once.

In our short hands-on with Filtatron, we were impressed with its responsiveness and the quality of the sounds it produced. Our one complaint is that some of the controls were tough to manipulate on the iPhone's tiny screen. (An iPad version should help to alleviate that problem.) Grab Filtatron for $4.99 if you're in the mood to create your own beautiful dissonance, but be sure to check out our hands on video after the break (as well as the official teaser from Moog).

Web OS 2.0 and Palm Pre 2 Get Official, France Gets First Dibs

The first webOS-based handset released since HP snatched up Palm was officially announced today and, in addition to packing more powerful innards, the Pre 2 ushers in the era of webOS 2.0. WebOS 2.0 boasts what HP calls "true multitasking" (taking an obvious potshot at Apple's iOS), support for Flash 10.1 and HP Synergy for syncing your data from several services.

In addition, the Pre 2 features Exhibition, which lets you trigger various actions -- such as opening a photo slideshow or displaying your daily agenda -- when you connect the Pre 2 to the Touchstone Charging Dock. WebOS 2.0 also adds Just Type, a feature that allows you to start composing status updates, e-mails, or searches before you even open an app. (We haven't seen it in action yet, but we imagine that you just start typing as webOS presents you with a set of actions to perform.) Developers will also be able to integrate Just Type with other apps.

Vertu Constellation Quest shows up at the FCC, running Symbian and looking pleasantly outrageous

Ah, Vertu, where would we be without you? Richer, to be sure, but so very bored. Vertu's QWERTY-packing Constellation Quest has just gotten the FCC's stamp of approval, and in addition to the typical beauty shots the FCC includes, there's also a detailed manual that shows the phone to be running some heavily skinned version of Symbian.

The phone has HSDPA data and WiFi, and Vertu is even packing along a 32GB microSD card. There's still plenty we don't know about the phone, like when it will hit stores and how many arms and legs it will cost, but for now we're just happy to have "cray Uncle Vertu" around for the party.

HTC Smart Review

With a wealth of high-end smartphones on the market, and eye-catching alternatives such as the fourth-generation iPhone HD and WiMAX-toting HTC EVO 4G just around the corner, it’s easy to forget that the real sales movement happens down at the more affordable levels. Crashing into that market comes the HTC Smart, a smartphone with a spec-sheet that looks anaemic in comparison to most rivals but a similarly slender price tag to boot. Based on Qualcomm’s Brew MP OS – healthily reskinned with HTC Sense – the Smart hopes to pull in the entry-level smartphone crowd, graduating from their dumbphones. Does it deliver, or have HTC had to shave away too much to meet a bargain-basement price?


In the hand, the Smart is compact and lightweight, and while the plastics obviously aren’t at the level of the Desire, neither do they feel like they’ll buckle and snap with the lightest squeeze. Hardware controls are limited to call and end keys, a tiny options button and a large back button. There are also volume controls on the side, together with a dedicated camera shortcut key, while on top there’s a 3.5mm headphone socket and on the bottom HTC’s own ExtUSB port. That’s compatible with miniUSB, but we’re disappointed not to see microUSB as on the rest of the company’s current range. The battery is a 1,100mAh pack and shares space under the back panel with the SIM slot and a microSD slot. Meanwhile wireless connectivity includes quadband GSM/EDGE and 2100MHz HSDPA/WCDMA, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (with A2DP support) but no WiFi or GPS.

Though the iconography of Sense is familiar from HTC’s Android and Windows Mobile devices, navigation is a little different from what we’re used to. The homescreen consists of multiple panes, moved between with a side-swipe and each dedicated to a different feature – weather, email, SMS, Twitter, contact speed-dials, etc – and while you can selectively hide panes from view, you can’t reorder them or otherwise change them. There are no widgets or indeed any way to download new panes, though you can add shortcuts to applications on the central pane; however, there are Scenes as on HTC’s Android devices which can change the panes between, say, work and weekend modes.



Calling up the main menu is, somewhat counter-intuitively, done by hitting the “back” button, and there are three pages of apps that are again navigated by swiping from side to side. All of the basics are present – SMS, email, browser, contacts and calendar – together with a few simple preloaded games and an FM radio. Email account support is limited to POP and IMAP (there are preset configurations for common webmail services like Gmail) with no Exchange compatibility, unsurprising given the target market. Meanwhile the small, chromed button above the call key brings up a contextual menu in whatever app is running, for starting new messages, for instance, or changing settings.

With a 2.8-inch display and only QVGA resolution to play with, text entry is perhaps the biggest hurdle. Two on-screen keyboards are supported: in portrait orientation you get a numeric keypad layout with a choice of multi-tap or T9 predictive text. Tapping a rotate button – there’s no accelerometer for automatic screen flipping – switches into landscape orientation and offers a proper QWERTY keyboard with auto-completion. Neither is especially spacious, but it’s possible to tap in with a fingertip and reach a reasonable degree of accuracy. Still, this isn’t the phone for anything more than a brief email response, shooting off an SMS or punching in an URL.



The Smart’s browser similarly suffers from the display’s limitations. Expect to make frequent use of the zoom if you want legible text, and since there’s no multitouch support, it’s all via on-screen controls rather than the more intuitive pinch-zoom we’ve grown used to on other devices. Heavier websites frequently stalled in their loading, and of course Flash video is a non-starter.

What proved the biggest surprise with the HTC Smart is the speed at which it moves, considering there’s only a 300MHz processor with 256MB of RAM powering things. Menus pop up and transition quickly, and apps load with minimal lag. The camera – sometimes sluggish to load on even Snapdragon-based devices – is ready to go in a matter of seconds, though unfortunately then lets itself down with significant shutter lag. At 3.0-megapixels and fixed-focus it’s no surprise that photography isn’t the Smart’s absolute forte, and the LED flash has the same narrow sweet-spot outside of which subjects are either hopelessly under-illuminated or over-exposed.

Media playback includes support for AAC, AMR, QCP, MID, M4A, MP3, WMA and WAV audio together with MP4, 3GP, 3G2 and M4V video, though the Smart makes for a better music player than it does a video device. The standard 3.5mm headphone socket is welcome, and audio quality is reasonable though nothing outstanding. A useful homescreen music pane makes it straightforward to control tracks without having to delve through the (albeit shallow) menu structure.

HTC reckon you’ll see up to 370 minutes WCDMA talktime (450 minutes GSM) or up to 600 hours WCDMA standby (450 hours GSM). In practice, the Smart was comfortably capable going through a couple of days in-between recharges, primarily because there’s no push-email support to batter the data connection. We usually prefer WiFi on a smartphone – absent of course on the Smart – as it’s less power-hungry than 3G, but it’s unlikely owners of this phone will make sufficient use of data-heavy apps that they’ll particularly miss it.



What will really make or break the HTC Smart will be the price. O2 UK are offering the handset free on a new 18 month agreement at £15 ($22) per month, and if you opt for a 24 month agreement it’s free from £10 ($14) per month. Pre-pay, it’ll set you back £100 ($144); meanwhile, Expansys have the Smart SIM-free and unlocked for £179.99 ($259). That’s cheaper than an HTC Tattoo, itself a relatively cheap phone.

Of course, with the Tattoo you’re getting the flexibility of Android, not least the access to the Android Market for thousands of third-party applications. HTC may be calling the Smart a “smartphone”, but you could well argue that, with such little room for expansion or modification, it also has a foot very much in the featurephone camp. Sense may look a lot like it does on Android and Windows Mobile devices, but in the scaling down process – of screen, CPU and OS – you also have to reduce your expectations.

Our concern is that HTC Smart owners would soon tire of the limitations of Brew MP and wish they’d picked an entry-level Android device instead, perhaps even HTC’s own Wildfire. Yes, that would mean a little more initial outlay (or a slightly higher monthly contract) but it could end up cheaper than prematurely upgrading to a more capable handset. If your ambitions are minimal and your budget matches, the Smart does what it promises on the box; problem is, we’ve grown used to smartphones exceeding such promises with third-party modifications, and that’s a party the HTC Smart is left out of.

The phone also features built-in GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity and an expandable memory slot capable of holding up to 32 GB of extra storage.

If you're interested in taking the Style 9670 out for a spin, you can pre-order one tomorrow from Sprint for $99, after a mail-in rebate. Only the Steel Grey model, however, is available for pre-order. BlackBerry's flashier customers, on the other hand, will have to wait until November to get their hands on the silky Royal Purple Style.

Vodafone 904SH: the Phone With Face Recognition



The Sharp 904SH available with Vodafone Japan is probably the most secure phone as it uses Face recognition.

You also get a "Motion Sensor" that allows you to use your phone in a similar way to the Nintendo Revolution controller. with Bluetooth enabled on 2 similar phones and a fighting game, you can pull a Darth Vader on your opponent.

Samsung Serene: the Elegant Phone



This phone is unique not because Samsung builds it, but because Bang & Olufsen has designed it. If you take a look at the phone it's a completely unique design: that the screen is intended to be the bottom of the phone with the keypad representing the top half. Why flip the screen? Because by placing the screen on the bottom the user no longer places his or her ear onto the screen causing it to become greasy. Bang and Olufsen's minimalism is present throughout the design. There is no screen on the outside, the keypad is circular like b&o remote, and the ring tones are noticeable yet unobtrusive pings which make the phone all the more elegant. The Serene's unique design comes in a small package. The price? €1100

LG Optimus 7 made official ahead of Windows Phone 7 launch, quickly yanked

Microsoft's been really keen to keep all the Windows Phone 7 fanfare to itself, but LG's equally zealous official UK blog has just thwarted that effort by posting both details and a gallery of images of the company's Optimus 7 (aka E900) handset online.

To be fair to them, it's nothing a ton of leaks haven't already revealed: the Optimus 7 will be a 3.8-inch touchscreen device, sporting WVGA (800 x 480) resolution, 16GB of onboard storage, a 5 megapixel camera with a 720p video mode, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, a digital compass, and your usual proximity and ambient light sensors.

Also present will be that DLNA streaming functionality we saw at IFA, officially titled Play-To, which will be exclusive to LG's phones along with Voice-to-Text and Scansearch, the former being a message transcriber and the latter acting as an augmented reality real-time search service. Intriguing.

HTC HD7 (aka Schubert) pictured in glorious monochrome, headed to T-Mobile for $200?

We've seen O2 Germany's HTC Schubert and a Chinese HD3, but here's a giant Windows Phone 7 device with "T-Mobile" clearly painted on the upper right-hand corner of the screen. TmoNews got these alleged images of the HTC HD7 from their usual anonymous source along with a partial spec sheet, which actually claims slightly different dimensions for the phone and double the amount of flash memory (16GB in all) than we heard before.

Different strokes for different folks, or is one of these two rumors totally off? You'll probably want to keep both possibilities in mind before considering this last tidbit from the very same source: the phone will reportedly cost $199 on a two-year contract. Or you could just wait for us to blow out all the Windows Phone 7 details tomorrow, of course.

Microsoft prepares to launch Windows Phone 7

SMARTPHONE users will finally get a proper alternative to Apple's iPhone this week.

Microsoft is set to take the wraps off its new mobile platform Windows Mobile 7 tomorrow, with journalists around the world invited to synchronised press conferences.

It's likely that several new phones running the platform will be revealed as well.

The launch will be a breath of fresh air for anyone who thinks the smartphone market has become a bit samey since the success of the iPhone.Unlike Google's mobile platform Android, Windows Phone 7 looks nothing at all like the market leader.

Android smartphones sometimes feel like open-source replicas of the iPhone, with an interface that's just a little too familiar.

Windows Phone 7 has a drastically different feel to it. It's as smooth and simple as an Apple product, but original enough to feel like something new.

One of the major differences is the home screen. Instead of a grid of apps, it's made out of "live tiles" that update dynamically as the content behind them — like email or Facebook — changes.

"The overwhelming feeling you get is that it pushes the mobile (interface) to a new level," said APCmag.com after a demonstration.

But even if the new platform takes off, Microsoft will have to play catch-up when it comes to content.

The software giant will not only have to convince developers to start making apps for its platform, but try to match the hundreds of thousands already available for its rivals.

Apple currently boasts more than 250,000 apps in its App Store. There are about 70,000 for Android phones.

As part of the Windows Phone 7 launch, Microsoft has retired its existing app marketplace for previous phone platforms.

Apps for the new platform will be available through the forthcoming Windows Phone Marketplace.

Nokia to launch N-series N8 Phones

In a bid to catch up with the lost time in touchscreen smart phones, Nokia will soon launch its latest N-series mobile phone N8.

By the end of September 2010, it will launch N8 globally, including India. To be priced at around $470 (Rs 22,500) plus taxes, Nokia N8 is a touchphone with many new innovative features.

The 3G and HSDPA enabled phone with 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen has an excellent high resolution screen for sharp visual effect. It is fitted with 12 mega pixel camera and can shoot video in HD Ready (720p) format. But the most important feature, which the company claims a first in any mobile phone, is the HDMI port in the phone which can be used to play a high definition video clip or full length movie from the phone’s storage memory through a television screen with surround sound.

In a pre-launch product demo to Deccan Herald at Nokia’s Research Centre in Bangalore, Head of Solution Marketing, Mobile Computing Zairus Master demonstrated this excellent quality of N8.

Another first-time feature, Nokia calls it ‘USB on the Go’, is the ability of the device to recognise flash-based mass memory device (or pen drive) and to read and write from it. In simple terms it means that an user can connect his pen drive with N8, listen to music or watch a movie from it either on the phone’s screen or on a TV screen. It also allows one to dump data files from the phone to pen drive.

“This feature will allow an user to carry and play thousands of music files, hundreds of video files and games in a USB drive and play it through his mobile, whenever and where ever he wants,” Master said. With an internal memory of 16 GB and expandable memory of 48 GB, the phone itself can store a huge number of data file.

As N8 runs on Symbian3 operating system with an ARM11 680 MHz processor and 3D Graphics HW accelerator, the phone’s touch screen functions work really fast. It also allows the user to setup 3 home screens that can be configured easily depending on the usage for work, entertainment and social networking. Nokia claimed that N8 runs on a sealed Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery that has a stand-by time of up to 390 hours, talk time of up to 12 hours and music play time up to 50 hours.

Larissa Riquelme’s Breasts Are Now Pitching Nokia Cell Phones (Video)

Larissa Riquelme, famous World Cup fan and inspiration behind the most-viewed, NSFW or otherwise, SportsGrid post of all time, has debuted a new viral ad for Nokia phones via YouTube. The promo shows Riquelme placing a phone in her cleavage, in much the same way she heroically did during the World Cup.
In case you’re just joining us, Riquelme courageously pledged to run the streets naked-like in the event of a Paraguay victory. When that didn’t happen, she got nakey anyway. Nokia’s Spanish-speaking website, when run through Google Translate, sums it up best:
Little need be said is not known for the beautiful Larissa Riquelme. From being a famous model and actress in her native Paraguay shot to global fame in last year’s World Cup Soccer South Africa when he promised publicly to be seen as God brought the world if his Paraguayan team reached the semifinals.
You didn’t read a word of any of this, did you? Here’s the video:

Samsung Epic 4G: A Killer Multimedia Phone

The Samsung Epic 4G ($250 with a two-year contract from Sprint) stands out from its Galaxy S siblings for a few reasons. Unlike the others, it has a physical keyboard, a front-facing camera and is the second phone to run on Sprint's 4G network. How does it stack up against the other 4G device, the HTC EVO 4G? And how does it compare to other mega-smartphones in the Android universe? Read on.

Design

In the past week, I've reviewed three phones with hardware keyboards: the BlackBerry Torch, the Motorola Droid 2 and now, the Epic 4G. Keyboard death watch? Not so much. Out of all of these phones, the Epic definitely has the best keyboard. The keys are nicely space have a good clickiness to them.

If you don't feel like using the physical keyboard, you have even more options on the touchscreen. You can use the TouchWiz keyboard, the Swype keyboard or the native Android keyboard. I found the display quite responsive and big enough to comfortably type on.

Like the other Galaxy S phones, the Epic 4G sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED display. Samsung's Super AMOLED technology puts touch sensors on the display itself, as opposed to creating a separate layer (which Samsung's old AMOLED displays had), making it the thinnest display technology on the market. Super AMOLED is fantastic--you really have to see it in person. Colors burst out of the display, and animations appear lively and smooth. Some reviewers have noted that colors look oversaturated, but I don't really mind this. The display also does quite well in bright outdoor light, too though the phone's glossy hardware sometimes reflects a killer glare.

TouchWiz 3.0 Interface

The Samsung Epic runs Android 2.1 ("Eclair") with Samsung's own TouchWiz 3.0 user interface. Overall, this version of TouchWiz is a lot better than the older iteration, which we saw on phones like the Samsung Behold II for T-Mobile, which was slow and difficult to navigate.

Though this version is an improvement, I encountered some familiar issues with TouchWiz 3.0. Despite the 1GHz Hummingbird processor, the phone lagged slightly when I flipped through menus and scrolled down contact lists or Web pages. Here's hoping the Vibrant will get a speed boost when it receives the upgrade to Android 2.2 ("Froyo").

Like HTC and its Sense offering, Samsung has its own social media aggregator. Social Hub combines streams from your Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts into a single view. It is a useful feature if you need a simple way to keep track of your networks. One random feature is Mini Diary, which lets you create blog entries with photos, weather info, text messages, and more. When I first tried Mini Diary on the European Galaxy S, I couldn't figure out how to get my entries off the device. Samsung followed up with me after my original review, thankfully, and confirmed that you can indeed post entries (though only those with photos) to various social networks or send them to friends via text. After you create an entry, you press the Menu key in the bottom-left corner, and it gives you MMS and Publish options. If you choose Publish, you can send your item to Facebook or MySpace.

My biggest problem with the TouchWiz interface is that it is somewhat overdone--so much so that the result doesn't even look or feel like an Android phone. Additionally, the skin sometimes interfered with the speediness of the phone (see "Performance"). According to Samsung, the entire Galaxy S family will be upgradable to Android 2.2.

Camera

We put the 5-megapixel camera of the Epic 4G through a modified version of our PCWorld Labs test for point-and-shoot digital cameras, along with the iPhone 4, the Motorola Droid X, and the HTC EVO 4G. Unfortunately our test panel was not very impressed with the photo quality of the Epic, as it earned the lowest score out of the four and an overall word score of Fair. It finished ahead of the EVO 4G in exposure quality, but landed in last place in our color-accuracy, sharpness, and distortion tests.

In my own hands-on tests outdoors, I was pretty impressed with image quality. Colors looked bright and natural and details were sharp. There was only a slight bit of graininess in the shots; I had to look really closely on my monitor to see it.

On the other hand, the Epic took second place in overall video quality. Its performance skewed heavily toward good performance in bright light. According to our panel, its bright-light footage looked a bit underexposed and slightly grainy in a full-screen view, but great at smaller sizes. The autofocus searches a little before locking on to a crisp image. In low light, the footage was a bit too murky and undefined to earn a better rating. Once the Epic gets an upgrade to Android 2.2, you'll be able to use its flash as a light while capturing video. Hopefully, this will fix the issue.

The handset's microphone, meanwhile, picks up audio a bit too well: On the Epic our audio clip sounded far too loud and blown out, whereas some of the other smartphones in our comparison barely picked up the audio at all.

Out of all the powerful smartphone cameras I've tested lately, those of the Galaxy S phones have the cleanest, most user-friendly interface. Unlike with the iPhone 4, here you can pick from a wide variety of shooting modes (Vintage, Smile Detection, Panorama, Continuous, and many more) and easily tweak the camera's settings according to your environment and subject.

The Epic also notably has a front-facing camera for making video calls. Sprint has preinstalled Qik on the Epic for your video chatting pleasure. I was only able to test Qik over 3G and its quality was too choppy to really carry on a conversation. I suspect quality is much better over 4G.

Multimedia

The TouchWiz music player is touch-friendly and easy to navigate. It showcases album art nicely, too, with an iTunes Cover Flow-style user interface. Sound was clean over my own earbuds, and decent via the external speakers.

One of the most intriguing features of the Captivate is the Samsung Media Hub, which will come with all of the Galaxy S phones. Media Hub is Samsung's answer to iTunes, a store for purchasing music and video. Unfortunately, Media Hub is not yet available to users right now; according to my contact at Samsung, Media Hub will launch this fall. Customers will be able to download the service via an over-the-air update.

Unlike the EVO 4G, the Epic does not ship with YouTube HQ--a big disappointment. YouTube HQ is a feature that enhances certain YouTube videos' quality tremendously. Unfortunately, without HQ, YouTube videos are almost completely unwatchable on the Epic. With such an incredible screen, it seems like a big oversight.

Performance

Like the other Galaxy S phones, the Epic 4G is powered by a 1GHz Hummingbird processor. For the most part, the Epic was incredibly fast, but I did encounter some stalls in the user interface in one particular action. I shared one of my Gallery photos to a friend via Gmail. As the phone was delivering the message, I attempted to browse through more gallery images. The Epic began to stutter and freeze between the images. I then closed the Gallery app and tried to open another-the phone completely froze for about 20 seconds. I was able to replicate this problem a second time when I tried to send another image. My contact did receive both images, but it was slightly disturbing to see the phone freeze up like that as I was trying to send an attachment.

One of the big deals of the Epic 4G is in its name: it is the second 4G-support device on Sprint. And like the other device, the HTC EVO 4G, you can use the Epic 4G as a mobile 4G hotspot and connect up to 5 Wi-Fi-enabled devices to it. Unfortunately, we were unable to test the 4G performance on the Epic as Sprint's WiMAX network isn't switched on in the San Francisco Bay Area yet. I'll update this review once we review the Epic in a 4G-supported area.

Browsing the Web over Sprint's 3G network was sufficiently speedy, however. Call quality was also quite good, though I heard a bit of static on the line in a few calls.

Out of the Galaxy phones I've tested, the Epic 4G is definitely the best and definitely one of the top Android phones available. The nicely designed physical keyboard paired with the 4G goodness and front-facing camera makes it hard to beat. The real question is whether it is a better choice than the HTC EVO 4G. It is a close-call, but the Epic 4G slightly edges out the EVO.

As a multimedia device, the Epic wins. While the Epic's display is smaller than the EVO's, I think its quality is better. The Epic also supports more video codecs like XVID, DIVX and H.264 formats (the EVO doesn't). Then again, the Epic does not have an HDMI port; the EVO does. In the camera department, the EVO's 8-megapixel snapper's image quality wins, but I like the Epic's user interface better. In terms of Android skins, it is really a matter of taste. And when it comes to input, the Epic definitely wins for having three software keyboards as well as a very good hardware keyboard.

It is a close call and really, the biggest difference between the two comes down to price: After a $100 mail-in rebate, the Epic 4G is $50 more than the $200 EVO 4G. On top of that, like the EVO 4G, you must pay for a data plan (Sprint's unlimited plan is $70, which is less expensive than Verizon or AT&T), a $10 fee for 4G (even if 4G isn't supported in your area). And if you want to use the mobile hotspot, that's an additional $30 every month.

Dell Thunder Prototype Preview

Christmas came early at Engadget HQ this year, as evidenced by the picture above -- you're looking at two Dell Thunder prototype smartphones, each with some surprising quirks, and hints that they might include global HSPA, AWS for the likes of T-Mobile, and maybe even a dash of CDMA support. We'll warn you ahead of time that these are labeled EVT1 for "engineering verification test" and date back to the April leak, so they're about as early as you can get -- don't expect the final handset to arrive without some significant differences. Good? Then peek the gallery below, hit the break, and let's get on with the show.

Hardware: When Santa Claus delivered our two units, he forgot to bring the rear cover for either one, but even without it the Thunder's a sleek, sexy beast. Completely curved chrome sides make it feel like an original iPhone in the hand, but with completely recessed hardware buttons that give the handset a touch of class and a gorgeous curved glass screen. The top houses a full-size 3.5mm headset jack, while the bottom has a pair of tinny but loud speakers and a micro-USB port for charging, and both surfaces are coated in soft-touch plastic, which made for a pleasant single-handed landscape grip by pinching those sides between our forefinger and thumb. Inside the device's back panel is one of the most logical layouts we've seen, with both microSD card and SIM slot completely accessible without removing the easily-swappable 3.7V, 1,400mAh battery. Also, notches at either side show the rear cover is slid, rather than pried off. Last but not least, there's rear-facing 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and a 4x digital zoom, plus a bright single-LED flash right under the camera module. While the power and camera buttons were stiff and difficult to to press and there were quite a few visible, light-leaking seams, those sorts of things typically get tightened (or loosened, as required) closer to production anyhow.



Screen: There are two things you should know about the Thunder's curved glass screen: the glass is awesome, and the actual LCD panel underneath is not. Using the glass is like looking through a window into the world of Android, with off-angle views distorted in a manner that's as useless as is it cool, but in this case the window has a pretty dismal picture on the other side. If these prototypes have the OLED panel we were promised, we'll eat an Engadget T-shirt, as they appear to be dim, standard LCDs, and though one unit is running at 800 x 480, the other seems to be pushing something more like 1,280 x 768... yet manages to be uncomfortable to read. Honestly, both screens reek of prototype and we expect both to be swapped out for rich, saturated OLED screens -- especially considering Dell's debug app includes a suite of AMOLED-specific tests. Here's hoping it's high-res, too, because if the Thunder had a pixel density akin to Apple's Retina Display, then this handset would be unrivaled.



Software: Bone-stock Android 2.1 (Eclair) was loaded on one unit, and a developer version of Android 1.6 (Donut) on the other, with no Froyo tweaks or custom Stage UI to be found, though the latter rig did have have an interesting piece of software loaded: a test suite for Qualcomm CDMA programming. Most compatible apps worked right off the bat, but we couldn't get the camera or camcorder to launch without a force close, so we weren't able to tell which resolution the camera uses to record video.



Performance: Debug code and a variety of apps all but confirm what's under the hood -- we're looking at a 1GHz Snapdragon QSM8250 CPU with Qualcomm Adreno graphics, much like Google's Nexus One. Without the overhead of custom UI, transitions and programs were pretty snappy throughout, though there was a certain amount of lag when swiping the apps drawer. Raw CPU performance was actually slightly weaker in benchmarks than a pre-Froyo Nexus One, pulling 6.2MFLOPS in Linpack and taking 3600ms to complete a BenchmarkPi run, though graphically the Thunder pulled ahead with a respectable 37.1fps in Neocore and 18.6fps in Nenamark. GPS was missing or completely disabled on both devices, so we couldn't test how long it took to get a fix, but we reliably pulled down 5Mbps (on an up-to-18Mbps internet connection) over 802.11n WiFi. Though we didn't test its accuracy, there also appears to be a full set of inertial sensors on board, with a working three-axis magnetometer and a three-axis accelerometer that will hopefully fuel motion-controlled games in months to come.



Educated guesses: There are a number of features referenced in the Thunder's bootloader and debug software that didn't actually make into these prototype machines, namely FM radio support, dual microphones, HDMI output and a hardware dock connector. Furthermore, Dell's debug apps have tests for quad-band GSM plus AT&T / Rogers / Telus / Bell and Europe-compatible 3G data. Meanwhile, the second phone identifies as AWS, suggesting a possible T-Mobile launch, and of course we're very excited about that CDMA test suite -- Verizon or Sprint, anyone? A "Hynix 4G + 4G" label suggests the phone may have 512MB RAM and 512MB ROM, like the Droid 2, and though we didn't see a spot for it on the device, there are references to a VGA, possibly front-facing camera to accompany the 8 megapixel imager on the back.

These handsets date from April and are obviously pretty far from the finish line, but we like what we've seen. Check out the video below, then let us know in comments if there's anything else you'd like us to test that doesn't involve disassembly, blenders, or stabbing pens into the expensive prototype screen.

BlackBerry App World 2.0 leaves beta, includes cheaper apps and new payment options

The latest version of BlackBerry App World is now available to all, and it includes a number of welcome additions. First off, RIM has dropped the $2.99 minimum from paid apps, so now BlackBerry developers can release $0.99 and $1.99 apps just like everybody else. It's also easier to buy those apps now, with credit card and carrier billing becoming available, and the new BlackBerry ID function lets you both perform those credit card payments and to easily move all your apps over to a new BlackBerry device when the time comes.

RIM has also enacted a few new app discovery mechanisms for hunting down those "Super Apps" (BlackBerry users know what we're talking about), but it's not all gravy: the developer revenue split is down to 70 / 30 from RIM's original exception-to-the-rule 80 / 20. PR is after the break.
