HTC updates Ice Cream Sandwich schedule
We recently got an update on the Motorola Ice Cream Sandwich saga, and now HTC is teasing its users with fresh Android 4.0 info.
There’s good news in the form of more specific dates, but bad news in that some HTC devices won’t get a taste of delicious Ice Cream Sandwich after all.

Hold on to your seats, here comes... the Facebook phone!
We thought HTC had pretty much put the whole Facebook phone thing to rest last year when the Salsa and ChaCha arrived on the scene complete with their dedicated Facebook buttons and did... well, not very much to be honest.
But no, it seems HTC is a sucker (or Zucker?) for punishment, and the latest rumour hitting our ears via the mobile grapevine is that the company is ready to have another go.

HTC: no more QWERTY hardware (for now)
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Sorry, that was just the sound of thousands of faithful Desire Z owners jumping off a cliff at the news that HTC has turned its back on hardware with physical QWERTY keyboards, for the time being at least.

The best smartphones of 2011? Yes and no… part 2
Good afternoon to you. Apparently I didn’t make it clear enough in The best smartphones of 2011? Yes and no… part 1 that I was simply listing a synopsis of each and every Mobot handset review from 2011, in plain old chronological order. Also, when I say “part 1”, it’s perfectly safe to assume there’s a second part in the proverbial pipeline. You maniacs.
I listed a total of 18 devices in part 1, and not one – including the Samsung Galaxy S II and iPad 2 – managed a perfect 5/5. Evidently that Dave Oliver is a tough gentleman to please. Will we see a cheeky 5/5 in part 2? I really don’t know. Personally, I’m hoping for a 1/5. Let’s rock!

Blink and you’ll miss 396 HTC smartphones
So I see someone (namely justincredible) asked: “How many phones has HTC released in the UK this year?” on the discussion board this morning. Any excuse for a list, man. They’re right up there with pie charts, for my money.
He further asks if the total is “More than 12?” I’m going to go out on a limb and say: “Uhm, probably.” Almost certainly, if we’re including both Android and Windows Phone 7 releases. In fact, I won’t be surprised if we make 15. Ready?

When it comes to range, HTC has it covered, from the 3.2in Gratia all the way up to the 4.3in Sensation. Big? Small? Keyboard? No keyboard? Single-core? Dual-core? 3D? Android? Windows Phone 7? You want it, HTC has it.
Earlier this week we reported that HTC sold a whopping 12.11 million smartphones in Q2, exceeding its own projections by a fair whack. Crazier still, it hopes to punt 13.5 million units in Q3. iPhone 5? What iPhone 5?

HTC ChaCha gets unexpected 200MHz bump
The Facebook-oriented HTC ChaCha first raised its head at Mobile World Congress almost four months ago, and you can finally grab one from The Carphone Warehouse.
Those not discouraged by the fairly unanimous feeling that the HTC ChaCha is one of the ugliest phones on the market will find an unexpected treat under the hood, in the form of an 800MHz processor.

Facebook fans rejoice: the HTC ChaCha has now officially gone on sale in the UK.
It's certainly not the first handset we've seen to be given the slightly wearisome “Facebook phone” tag, but it is the first to feature a dedicated Facebook hardware button.

Get your ChaCha and Salsa on at Amazon
We’ve been talking about the HTC ChaCha quite a bit recently. Firstly, because it’s one of the phew QWERTY Android phones out there, and also because it’s doing a wee European tour thingy in June and July.
Well, get ready for some more HTC ChaCha related news, as it has just popped up on Amazon with its buddy the HTC Salsa. They’re scheduled for a June 26 release, and you can pre-order ‘em now.
