This seems a great day for the possessors of the Motorola Droid X from Verizon and there isn’t much explaining to do here as to why I feel so. That Blue Sapphire logo on the Motorola Droid X implies that the VZW locked handset can be rooted to run on Android 2.2, Sapphire AOSP 2.2 ROM.

The root did happen, but apparently the problem is that the Droid X cannot be loaded with a custom ROM as Motorola has ensured a better level of security this time around.

For the moment then, we will just have to be content with this achievement hoping that the ‘magical’ guys to do this will soon get the instruction set and stable build ready at the earliest.

In this video you will see differences between SLCD and LCD screen on HTC HD2 and also differences between HTC Desire with old (AMOLED) and new (Super LCD) screens in the sun.

First with the iPhone 3GS,now with the HTC EVO 4G.

Good news for those who purchased HTC EVO 4G from Sprint recently, because will be a new update soon to the latest Android 2.2 Froyo release, that is able to run Flash.Here are some new things that Sprint posted in their community blog.

HTC EVO 4G will be available in white at Best Buy, where customers will be able to buy it starting July 11. Sprint retail stores should also get it, but only starting August 8.Engadget is reporting that you can pre-order the white EVO 4G starting today at Best Buy. The price is likely similar to the one of the black edition ($199.99 with a 2-yr Sprint contract).

HTC is now the smartphone brand everyone is talking about and its recent success has been attributed to the arrival of the Android OS from Google. People first talked about its Droid Incredible which is still selling like hot cakes from the VZW stores and then came the Evo 4G which will be made available by Sprint June 4 onwards. The next big thing bearing the HTC branding could be the recently leaked Aria which will run on Android 2.1 OS and will also feature the Sense UI.

The entire spec sheet of the Aria is yet to go public, but what is known is that the handset will feature a 5MP camera while the screen size will fall somewhere between 2.8 to 3.2 inches.

None of the US carriers have announced the Android smartphone as yet, but the grapevine is that it is headed to AT&T in the most probable of cases. [Courtesy: Devicemag]
