Thunderbolt’s Kernel Source Code Released!

Mar 30th

Posted by admin in News & Updates

Looks like many of our beloved phone manufacturers are beginning to realize that the true development for their devices does not happen in their labs, but rather as soon as they hit the streets. As a result of that (and GPL licensing requirements), we are seeing that many companies are releasing the source code for the kernels used in their devices, so that developers out in the wild may have a chance at playing with and tweaking the code to fit their purposes. XDA member uthinkisay started at thread in the Thunderbolt forums where he points at what he found browsing More >

HTC Thunderbolt getting Gingerbread by Summer

Mar 28th

Posted by admin in News & Updates

This is a great news A frustrated HTC Thunderbolt customer trying to troubleshoot an compatibility issue with Bluetooth nearly forgot all his troubles this week. In an email reply, HTC reps responded that the Thunderbolt will be getting an update in the second quarter of the 2011 that while not addressing the Bluetooth issue, will bring Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to the 4G handset. Of course, that’s HTCs time table. It will also have to clear Verizon before a roll out will commence, but the list of improvements look to really boost what is already a killer Android handset.

We are excited More >

HTC News: HTC EVO 3D 4G Android Gingerbread 2.3 QHD 3D Next Gen EVO

Mar 23rd

Posted by admin in News & Updates

As suspected, Sprint announced the HTC EVO 3D, a glasses-free QHD 3D Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone.  Sprint claims that it is America’s first "glasses free" device with a QHDS display.  We know that it’s getting confusing because yesterday AT&T announced that it would offer the LG Thrill 4G, which is the first US smartphone with a 4.3-inch stereoscopic 3D touchsreen.  The Sprint website refers to it as not just the next generation of EVO but as the next dimension in mobile phones.  AT&T claims that the LG Thrill 4G will take customers into a "new dimension." The HTC EVO 3D More >

Thunderbolt Rooted!

Mar 21st

Posted by admin in News & Updates

For those of you who were hoping to get a rooted device by the time you picked up your brand new Thunderbolt from the store, your prayers have been heard. Thanks to XDA members jamezelle, jcase and a few other devs, inclu, the HTC Thunderbolt has been successfully perm rooted. Coincidentally, it got perm root on the day it was officially released, which is not really that much of a surprise as it was determined that temp root was fully achievable the day before. However, things are far from done as there is no custom recovery as of yet. But if More >

HTC ThunderBolt Just Arrived

Mar 17th

Posted by admin in News & Updates

Excited for the ThunderBolt? If so, you’re not alone; but if not, you’ve got even more companions.

However, thanks to Amazon Wireless, haters now have one less reason to pick on the ThunderBolt: the online retailer is selling Verizon’s first LTE phone for just $179.99 – $70 less than the official $249.99 price.

When you add free two-day shipping and no taxes (in most states) to the mix, this immediately becomes the best ThunderBolt deal available – in fact, it’s $30 lower than WireFly’s offer. Additionally, the $179.99 price also applies to upgrades – definitely a huge bonus for existing VZW customers.

So, More >

Mar 11th

Posted by admin in News & Updates

The release date for the HTC Thunderbolt is getting a little boring now but we said we would report on everything we find, well how about adding March 21 to your release list.

So far we have all seen Verizon HTC Thunderbolt release dates being February 14, 17, 24, 28, then March 3 and 10th, which means these dates are void, then we heard that March 17th is a possibility and now according to BGR and Droid-Life March 21st has popped up.

Now these are all just online rumours, they could be true but we always suggest waiting for an official announcement and until More >
