Update: After speaking with our very own Matt Booth, he brought up a very good point that may prove some of this information as inaccurate. Samsung would be extremely unlikely to use a Texas Instruments SoC in favour of their own Exynos SoC. The main differences are, the clock speed and GPU used. The OMAP4460...
Pricing: We haven’t heard a word on pricing just yet. Big T might be working out how to better price the SGSII alongside the Sensation. Yay for the Rumour Mill which is currently pumping out enough rumours to power a small town, or at least my tech-filled house. What we’ve got here is a tidbit...
A few days ago we reported on a rumour from a very trusted source that the HTC EVO 3D was making the rounds at Telstra. Before then we didn’t really have any official word on a GSM version of this exclusively CDMA device, well that has all changed. Today HTC officially announced the EVO 3D...
More exciting news coming out of the Telstra camp today, with Big T saying they will announce the release date and hopefully pricing this Thursday (30th). Telstra will be the last carrier to bring the Galaxy S II to market, though that won’t hold them back from saying the Galaxy S II is better on...

Google has been slowly chipping away at the Android Market Web Store to try to make it a little better each day. Their latest addition to the store is a more detailed view of User Review statistics, that let you see just how many 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1-star ratings the app your viewing...
Today Facebook launched their new version of Facebook for Android. The new version (v1.6) which we talked about a couple of weeks ago brings access to pages, improvements to the news feed and, finally, the ability to upload videos directly via the app. All of these are welcome additions to the ever-improving app, however when...
So I was just browsing the Sony Ericsson Australia site, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the Xperia Mini and Xperia Mini Pro are both “coming soon” to Australia, though no Carriers have been announced just yet. The Xperia Mini devices are an upgrade from the older, smaller and less powerful Xperia X10 Mini...
What you see above in my terrible, late-night, Photoshop’d image is how the HTC Desire from Telstra should look like once it receives the Android 2.3.x “Gingerbread” update in August. Telstra and HTC are going to remove Sense UI from the original Desire in order for Gingerbread to work properly, due to the low amount...
Sony Ericsson may be a bit behind the times when it comes to high-end hardware, but that hasn’t stopped them from announcing three new mid-range Android devices in the Xperia ray (bottom), Xperia active (left) and Xperia txt (top). The three devices are to launch in the third quarter of this year in selected markets,...
Update: Telstra have commented out the HTC Sensation in the HTML of the page. Seems they might have gotten a little ahead of themselves. Well there you have it folks, Telstra’s new Expressions Of Interest (EOI) page now lists the HTC Sensation right above the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S II. Surely this can only mean...
    Update: Apparently the Samsung Galaxy S does support “HD Voice” (which Samsung refers to by its proper name, WB-AMR). Activate it through the service menu by dialing *#*#197328640#*#* from the phone dial, then select 5-Audio then 7-WB-AMR, and turn it on. If you have a SGS 2 on Telstra, let us know if...
Well there you have it ladies and gents, both the HTC Salsa and HTC ChaCha are heading to Vodafone in the next month or so (clarification soon, no doubt) on unknown plans. Both these devices are mid-range but specialise in Facebook integration, as you can most likely tell by the blue Facebook buttons on the...
