Now formally dubbed the Motorola Evoke QA4, this one packs a decently-sized 2.8-inch WQVGA touchscreen, along with quad-band CDMA […]
Well, that was fast — just a month after Microsoft set the open-source world on fire by claiming that TomTom’s use of Linux violated its FAT filesystem patents, the two companies have settled, with TomTom paying the always-popular “undisclosed amount” and letting MS license four of its navigation patents for free.

Take this with some skepticism, but according to tmonews.com a “trusted source” has revealed an Android-based Huawei phone is currently being tested and heading to T-Mobile in Q3, a timeframe we heard about at MWC. Specs reportedly include a 5 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi, and Cupcake, naturally. No word on UMA, but the […]
