As if the At&t’s latest Garmin Nuvifone wasn’t enough, Garmin has leaked plans of a future Android phone for 2010. The leak came on a presentation during a webcast for its third quarter earnings. No other detailed information was given unfortunately. So there’s no word of what carrier might get it or device hardware specs, so we’ll just have to speculate for now.

So, you want Android? On your GSM Touch Pro/Fuze? With Working Data?

Dated: November 6th, 2009

So with all the buzz about Droid, I have really started wanting one. Or at least a phone with Android OS and a physical keyboard. But I don’t have Verizon… Not to worry, XDA-Developers came to the rescue!

Introducing Android on the Touch Pro!

“What’s different than the android package that has been around for a while,” now you ask? Aside from working data, not too much. They still haven’t fixed several bugs such as the inability to charge while in Android, but the working data is a BIG improvement!

Verizon HTC DROID ERIS Available Friday

Dated: November 5th, 2009
2 Comments
HTC Desire If the new Verizon DROID is too expensive for you, Verizon is also launching the DROID ERIS on Friday, for $100 less (although you also get less features). It is comparable to the Sprint Hero and will be available for $99.99 after a $100 mail-in-rebate. It features a 5 megapixel camera, 3.2-inch capacitive display, WiFi, 3.5mm headphone jack, and microSD expansion up to 16GB, so you would be passing up a faster processor, physical keyboard, and hi-res display if you went with this device.

Has Droid been lost in the Exchange?

Dated: November 3rd, 2009
3 Comments

Do you use Microsoft Exchange for work related E-mails? If so, you will be slapped with an additional $15 charge per month by Verizon. Maximum PC is reporting that using integrated Microsoft Exchange will add $15 dollars to your data plan if you also use a Verizon Droid, the highly hyped “iPhone-killer”. The reasoning behind this, at least according to a Verizon spokesperson, is that “The Droid is primarily a consumer phone”.

A basic data plan for this device is $30. Including Exchange, the data cost jumps up to $45. Also, Verizon is planning to offer a $50 per month data-only plan for the Droid. Does this make you reconsider the Droid?

According to TheStreet, Google has plans to manufacture its own wireless phone to run its Android platform. They are working with a smartphone manufacturer to produce the phone.

Rumor has it that they will be selling it, unlocked, through retail stores, and not subsidized through cell phone companies. Will they have both CDMA and GSM versions? What carriers will it work with? All of those questions have yet to be answered.
