The G1 is going places! After being announced for the American and UK market, the phone will make it’s way to China. HTC will take the G1 to the Asian and Pacific markets and China will see it by July 2009. We’d be curious to see if the G1 gets the same treatment the iPhone got. HTC doesn’t have an official confirmation of a G1 smartphone specifically designed for the Chinese market but I’m sure they’d love to get there before Apple does.

The AT&T Fuze looks similar to the HTC Touch Pro because it’s exactly the same phone. We know the carrier is coming but we have absolutely no idea about when that’s going to happen.

People are talking, and what they say is the Fuze is going to be released sometime this week. It’s only Monday so we’ll have plenty of time to confirm it. What do you think? Would you get a Fuze?

If you happen to go to Sprint’s website, don’t forget to check out the HTC Touch Pro. The handset is now available for $299 after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a two-year contract. You’d have to choose an Everything plan, Data Premier add-on or a PRO Pack in order to take advantage of the rebate.

With the HTC G1 out there and with the Storm approaching for a rumored incredible low price, the Touch Pro might not be the hottest phone out there, but it’s certainly a handset to be considered in case you’re looking to buy a new phone!

While we heard Dan Hesse’s opinion on the Android OS yesterday, today we have time to focus on HTC’s CEO, Peter Chou, who also happens to be one of the founders of the company. He says that HTC will be shipping 600,000 G1 units this year. For 2008 he has an estimate so far but for 2009 he says that “in general, we think we can do more next year.”

What do you think T-Mobile? Are you ok with just 600,000 units sold? Do you plan on getting more G1s out there? And let’s not forget that the holiday season is going to be upon us soon!

The G1 is the hottest handset out there right now but it still has some problems. We’ve seen yesterday that POP3/IMAP mail doesn’t fully work and today we found out there’s a security flaw inside the web browser which could prove to be really harmful to your device.

A researcher, Charles A. Miller says the flaw could be exploited when a user goes to a malicious website. Malicious code can use the flaw to install software on the G1 which will do only bad things after. Google knows about this whole thing and it’s working on it. It’s been reported that there’s already a patch ready and T-Mobile G1 owners will get it OTA soon.

Verizon seems ready for a totally mind-blowing month of handset sales. Besides the BlackBerry Storm which should be quite the gift to receive this Christmas, the carrier is rumored to prepare other hot handsets for a November launch.

The Samsung Omnia and the HTC Touch Pro (or the XV6850) should be the most expected phones to arrive with Verizon Wireless embedded on them. Besides those, two other Samsung phones are likely to arrive, the Epix and the Renown. We will confirm these new arrivals once we get the chance!

Today is the day the G1 becomes officially available in T-Mobile stores. No more waiting, no more being sorry for nor pre-oderding. We’re ready to see some lines in front of T-Mobile’s stores. In case you’re standing in a T-Mobile line, then please drop us a picture to prove it. We’d surely love to see that happening.

In case you didn’t feel like waking up at 8AM this morning just to buy an Android phone then you can order it online. The price is the same, $179.99 with a two-year contract.

Sorry for all of you who are waiting for this phone. But, the rumors are true, the HTC Touch Pro launch will be delayed. Back at CTIA Fall 2008, Sprint announced that it would offer the HTC Touch Pro smartphone with an expected ship date of October 19. Seeing that the date is drawing close, lots of people were checking Sprint to see details on the launch. Unfortunately, the Touch Pro will not be available on the 19, but now we’re looking to see the Windows Mobile 6.1 device around the end of October/early November.

Here is the statement from Sprint:

“Sprint expects to slightly delay launch of the Touch Pro by HTC to ensure we have adequate inventory in all channels before making the device commercially available. Customers can expect the device to become available in select national retailers by the end of the month and then in all Sprint sales channels including online at www.sprint.com and Sprint Stores by early November.”

Sprint was going to launch the HTC Touch Pro smartphone on October 19th which is just two days away from now. The new release date might be scheduled for the end of the month or early November.
Sprint officials claim that the delay is caused by insufficient supply. The phone is expected to sell really well and Sprint doesn’t want to be caught off guard near the holiday season. In the mean time Best Buy is going to release the phone before Sprint does, so check with them if you desperately need the Touch Pro.

The HTC Touch HD is one of my favorite HTC devices. It has a 3.8 inch touchscreen phone which was recently released by HTC. People say that this Touch HD is being modeled to become an Android handset too for T-Mobile. It’s even referred to as the G2 although there’s nothing official to support these rumors.

With all this in mind I can’t help but think about HTC’s official Twitter from a few days ago which clearly said that the Touch HD is not officially coming to the USA. What do you think?

If I am not mistaking, I believe we told you a while ago about HTC getting ready to release one Android device and one WiMAX device by the end of the year. Well what do you know? We have the HTC Dream or the G1 which is the first Android phone. And now we have the T8290 which is a WiMAX HTC Touch.

From what we can figure out it’s a 3.8 inch 480 x 800 WVGA display, WiMAX and GSM support, 802.11g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0.

How much it costs and when it is going to be available it’s still a mystery. For now the phone has Russian language written all over it so we’re going to wait for HTC official news.

Why won’t the HTC Touch HD arrive in the USA? That’s a good question. It looks like no carrier seems interested in getting it. I can’t understand why, since the phone might be one of their top thee phones of this year. Sure you can get the device from some other country. But would you trade the 3G support?

And HTC isn’t saying that much either. The company’s idea of a good press release is Twitter. I think HTC used far too many words than it was needed to deliver this message:

Sad news, US. we looked into it- by the time we could bring Touch HD to the States, it would be old news. We do have other cool stuff coming.

T-Mobile’s recently launched G1 Android phone is really hot right now. You must be a Ballmer not to see it yet. And it looks like the public is responding well to it. We’ve told you how T-Mobile has already finished the amount of handsets available for pre-sale. A T-Mobile official said the carrier has depleted stock despite the fact it had tripled the numbers of G1s to be pre-sold.

After announcing the HTC Dream aka the G1, T-Mobile is ready to launch one more HTC device. HTC Shadow 2 is the logical successor of the Shadow.

Shadow 2 will be the first handset to come with Windows Mobile 6.1 with UMA capabilities and T-Mobile is set to launch it on October 15. As long as you’re going to sign a new contract you’ll get it for $149.99 after some mail-in rebate. Hopefully we’ll get more specs by then. In the mean time I’ll let you dream about this baby.

The HTC Rose or S740 has been approved by the FCC. The Rose is one of the last handsets made by HTC. It’s Windows Mobile handset like all recent HTC devices, excepting the Dream of course. The rose comes with a hybrid keybad/keyboard, GPS, WiFi and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Think of it like a modified HTC Touch. Add a slide-out full keyboard and a keypad and you get the Rose. You’d also have to remove the touchscreen to get a Rose. That last part you might not like!

The Rose is ready to be sold in the USA. All it needs now is some 3G support for the US since it only has quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE for now. Let’s see what carrier will pick this one up!

After T-Mobile and HTC have finally proven that the Android OS is working properly on a phone, more manufacturers and carriers will want to sell their own Android powered smartphones.

We’ve seen Motorola expanding it’s Android project and now it’s Samsung and LG ready to commit to creating an Android phone each in 2009. Both companies are likely to launch their Android handsets by Q3 of 2009 but not sooner. Mirae Asset Securities says the delay is caused by carriers like Vodafone which are skeptic about Google’s OS, although that’s not a confirmed, official statement. Does that mean that not everyone is thrilled about the Android?
