JB HiFi are now selling a phone from ZTE called the Urbane for $149. Whilst it’s nothing to rave about specs wise it is at least running Ice Cream Sandwich which is a huge plus especially in this end of the market and it also has a 4″ screen which isn’t too bad although I [...]

It appears that Telstra is now selling the HTC Desire C on their Pre-Paid website. A budget conscious handset that still packs in a 5MP camera, Beats Audio and runs a Sensified version of Ice Cream Sandwich for $229 is not too bad. Interesting to note that HTC don’t even list this phone on their [...]

Telstra has just announced the Telstra Smart Touch 2, a budget priced pre-paid Android handset, the kicker though is you can actually get this phone in either Black or Pink. The Smart-Touch2 handset is only $99 but gives customers access to a large part of the smart phone functionality that Android has to offer, including [...]

For some time now, Telstra have had a ‘Smartphone Software Updates’ page on their website, a place where they could list any information they might have about various different updates for their handsets. While this is a great idea in theory, it didn’t really work out quite so well in practice. There was only very [...]

It’s with good grace that I happily accept defeat, Vodafone has delivered -for real this time. Vodafone Nexus S customers are currently receiving the Jelly Bean OTA upgrade on their handsets as we speak, if you haven’t yet received it go to Settings > About Phone > Check For Updates and you should receive a [...]

Telstra have updated their “software updates” forum post which now tells us that they’re expecting the rollout of the Android 4.0 update for the Samsung Galaxy Note to happen on August 27th. Should testing be completed without problems arising then users should see the update in just over two weeks time. Although Telstra is a [...]

Looks like the Ice Cream Sandwich updates are really flowing now, with the ‘Charm’ toting HTC Rhyme now showing on the Optus software updates page as having it’s Ice Cream Sandwich update approved and ready to rollout by Optus, now we’re just waiting on HTC to give us a heads up on when to expect [...]

Starting to see reports that Vodafone Nexus S users are seeing Jelly Bean being pushed out to their Nexus S this morning. First Tweet we saw was from Taufiq : Jelly Bean is now installing on my Nexus S – thanks to @vodafone_au ! @ausdroid — Taufiq Khan (@tfqkhn) August 8, 2012 I confirmed he [...]

From time to time, we post things that don’t immediately relate to Android. We received this tip, thought it a little odd, and so decided we’d look into it a bit further, and share it for your consideration. Crazy Johns, part of the VHA (Vodafone Hutchison Australia) group, is closing some stores in New South [...]

Vodafone has just updated their Blog to advise that HTC will begin the long awaited update from Android 2.3.4 to Android 4.0.3 to Vodafone branded EVO 3D handsets, the update will begin from 1PM today. As per all rollouts I would hazard a guess that this update will be staggered also so keep checking Settings [...]

Vodafone have updated their blog mentioning that the Android 4.0.4 “Ice Cream Sandwich” update for the Samsung Galaxy Note will begin rolling out to users from tomorrow afternoon. Not all users will receive the update at the same time, it will instead be a staggered release with a portion of users getting the update over [...]

Looks like the Galaxy Note or its successor is all the news today, the Optus software update page has also been updated to advise that just like Vodafone they have approved the update for their network and are waiting on the manufacturer to roll it out to customers, Samsung has yet to comment on the [...]

It’s been a while coming but an update to the weekly Vodafone blog has advised customers with the Samsung Galaxy Note that the Ice Cream Sandwich update for their phone has been approved and all we’re now waiting on is details on how and when the rollout will occur. The update will take owners from [...]
