T-Mobile UK is now pushing out the same HTC Desire update that went live last week over-the-air though its network, with T-Mo users being prompted to install the minor bug-fixing and occasional speed-enhancing Desire update. A few tweaks and a new YouTube app will be the biggest changes.
Once updated, your T-Mobile Desire should be on firmware number 1.21.110.4 if all has gone well, with the 110 signifying it’s a T-Mobile version OS. Here’s the stock image:
As ever, the roll out is appearing and spreading gradually – some T-Mobile Desire users have it already, while some are still reporting there’s nothing available yet through their handset. Be patient. It’s coming.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
