The European version of the HTC EVO 3D will not be denied. At least three online retailers now list the phone in stock including GumMobile, Unlocked Mobiles and Handtec. Pricing starts at £497.99 including VAT, but if owning HTC’s first stereoscopic monster without a contract is any consolation it should be money well spent.

Sony Ericsson is prepared to blur the line between tablet and smartphone with its upcoming 4.7-inch 3D display. The massive display will be featured on the company’s first 3D phone, a device many believe will arrive early next year. Unfortunately mystery phone lacks a name, but we have confirmed it will support glasses-free 3D technology and runs at HD 1280×720 pixel resolution. Do we really need another 3D smartphone?
If you were hoping to get your hands on the HTC EVO 3D this summer, we’ve got a bit of bad news. Vodafone has decided to scratch the launch because of a series of “delays to bring the phone to market.” There will be no 3D love from HTC hitting the UK after all.
The HTC EVO 3D has seen a particularly unusual transition from CDMA to GSM. After launching in the US on Sprint’s network, the EVO 3D was quickly addressed overseas with the release of the LG Optimus 3D. To date, neither device has captured the level of interest of the 2D handsets they’ve replaced. Read more
It appears Samsung will be taking its smartphone talents to the third dimension later this year. We don’t expect anywhere near the uproar Lebron received when he headed to South Beach, unless of course it concerns the name. According to a report on Korean website ETNews, the company has tentatively named its 3D handset, the Galaxy 3D.
HTC took to its Facebook page this afternoon, confirming plans to unlock bootloaders for the HTC EVO 3D and Sensation. As the manufacturer begins testing out the system in anticipation for a September release, the move has lead to speculation over whether Motorola will take notice. Will today’s announcement by HTC set the bar for industry-wide bootloader unlocking?
The scarcity of Android updates has made bootloader unlocking nothing short of a necessity for many Android users. Whether or not a smartphone features an unlocked bootloader plays a role in purchasing decisions, whether manufacturers like it or not. HTC has embraced this well-known fact with its announcement this afternoon.
In order for the LG Optimus 3D to pick up steam and transcend glasses-free 3D displays from niche to mainstream requires compelling content. Gameloft has delivered a jolt of support for mobile 3D gaming by announcing Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, N.O.V.A. and Let’s Golf! 2 will come preloaded on the smartphone. There’s 14 additional titles on tap which promise to help make 3D gaming a success.
Taiwan’s number one brand name supplier of smartphones recorded record revenue for the third consecutive month. Thanks to revenue of £963 million for June, HTC was able to beat second quarter projections and calm fears that the company’s revenue would decline in 2011. Can anything stop HTC’s record revenues?
If this was an awards show and HTC was standing at the podium giving its acceptance speech for best second quarter revenues, the company would first like to thank Android. Way back in 2008 when Google introduced Android, HTC made the decision to welcome the platform with open arms. It’s that move that took the Taiwan manufacturer from just a company building smartphones to a household name.
There’s nothing we love more than a vanilla build of Android, especially when it’s Android Gingerbread. Samsung has quietly announced ‘Conquer 4G’, its new entry level Android smartphone destined for a US release on Sprint’s 4G WiMax network.
When you hear entry level and Android used in the same sentence, the last thing you’d expect to hear is a 1 GHz processor. Surprisingly that’s exactly what’s inside the Conquer 4G, along with a 3.5-inch HVGA resolution touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, 1.3-megapixel front facing camera and Tri-band CDMA support.
