"Nexus One" on TFTS

Android fan site Phandroid has posted a questionable picture of an alleged Nexus One running Android 3.0 “Gingerbread.” There are quite a few questions about this picture, and the folks at Phandroid even admit this. As you can see – the ‘About Phone’ screen on Android is showing “Android 3.0″ running on “Nexus One”.

By now you probably know that HTC was pretty pissed off by the Samsung AMOLED panel shortage that prevented the manufacturer to keep up with demand when it comes to the various smartphone models it produces. And today Samsung decided to make official their new Sony partnership that will bring Super LCDs to some of [...]

Regular TFTS readers will know that we’re no fans of Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. Sure, it’s great if you were a big fan of Symbian in 2002 – but it’s outdated, ugly and cumbersome.

Even more surprisingly, it comes with HTC Sense!

The Google Nexus Two is not something new for your Android-loving ears. You’ve heard about such phone a while ago and, we have just recently asked ourselves what happened with the device.

The Google Nexus One is the phone you have to have in case you want to always play with the latest Froyo version in town. We’ve seen so many Froyo updates already, most of them unofficial, that we’re really not that surprised to see Google release one more version, FRF91, which comes just a few [...]

Just a couple of days ago some Google Nexus One users were installing the FRF83 Froyo update, which, at the time was believed to be the official Android 2.2 firmware from Google.
