Does T-Mobile’s new Android phone offer the best of [...]
“The Force is strong with this one”; “This could be the DROID you’re looking for”; “Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed.” The Star Wars clichés almost write themselves when it comes to Verizon’s new DROID R2-D2 by Motorola special edition so stand well back and clutch your beloved DVD box set [...]
The HTC Aria made its unexpected debut yesterday and isn’t set to hit AT&T stores until June 20th, but we’ve grabbed a handset to bring you all the details ahead of time.
