Big news for owners of the brand new HTC Incredible S, Desire, Wildfire and Aria this morning as the long-awaited AlphaRev X hits public beta. AlphaRev X will allow you to software unlock (s-off) your phone which opens the door to root access, custom recovery and custom Continue reading...

Virgin Mobile have recently lowered the minimum $0 cap for the HTC Aria to $29 on their Easy Cap range. The $29 Easy Cap will give you a satisfying $190 credit and 100MB of data for most of your non-video browsing needs. If the recent HTC leaks (we'll cover these in a minute) are anything to go by, the Continue reading...

As always, our friends over at Techanist have come through with the goods, breaking the news that the HTC Aria will be on sale at Virgin Mobile from Boxing Day (26th for anyone completely oblivious). You won't find it heavy discounted for the Boxing Day Sales, but you will be able to get your hands on one for $0 on Continue reading...

HTC has just pushed out the Android 2.2 update to HTC Aria's in South-East Asia, meaning Australia surely can't be too far off. There aren't any specifics about what extras will be added to the device thanks to the update, eg HTCSense.com integration, but there will be all the speed boosts and full Flash 10.1 support. We're sure the update can't Continue reading...

HTC Aria fans, your time has come. The device has recently hit Optus's online store, and will no doubt reach retailers in the next week or so. Plans start at $19/mo (+$11/mo) working up to $29/mo (+$7/mo) then to the overpriced $49/mo with no mobile repayments. The $49 includes 1GB data, $450 cap credit, 2 Continue reading...

It's finally October, which means there is a fair bit of stuff expected to happen, unless of course you're waiting for your Android 2.1 or 2.2 update, because that'll no doubt be pushed back, again! In all seriousness though, there are a couple of fairly big launches coming up, and with a bit of luck we'll have even Continue reading...

So it turns out Techanist was right last month when they said the HTC Aria would be headed to Optus. This morning's HTC announcement, attended by Neerav Bhatt, provided the crucial pricing information: $49/mo (includes 1GB of data). That puts it on an equal par with the HTC Wildfire on Telstra, as well as it having slightly better specs. $49/mo Continue reading...

HTC Australia have announced today, via Facebook, that the HTC Aria will be launched/officially announced/something tomorrow but have given no ideas as to which Carrier it will come to. We've reported in the past that it would be Optus, but strange things can happen. The Aria would sit well at VHA or Optus as a direct Continue reading...

The very trustworthy folk over at Techanist have just reported that Optus are looking at getting the HTC Aria, which we think could possibly be renamed to the HTC Liberty (it's codename) at the reported release time in October. The HTC Aria features very similar specs (GSM Arena) to the HTC Wildfire that will be released by Continue reading...
