No it’s NOT 2.1, but an update is an update…right?
Feb 15th
Seems like another Android device is getting some update love from Google. As we reported yesterday regarding the Nexus One update on the horizon, now Android Central is reporting the Motorola CLIQ being next. The update will fix the CLIQ’s battery life, touchscreen, and GPS. No word on a release date, but from what we are told it should be this week.
If you are using a CLIQ and receive the update please check back and let us know how it is!
Sony Ericsson spices it up a bit
Feb 15th
Well, SonyEricsson has definitely started the MWC (Mobile World Conference) with a bang today for all you Android enthusiasts. BoyGeniusReport is reporting that during the pre-game show (Conference starts tomorrow in Barcelona, Spain) SonyEricsson officially unveiled 2 new devices in the Xperia line running Google’s beloved Android platform in the X10 mini and X10 mini pro and keeping their beloved Symbian OS on the Viva Pro, the big brother to the originally announced Viva. The X10 mini and X10 mini pro are similarly spec’d handsets with the X10 Mini Pro sporting a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Vivaz Pro is a slightly modified version of the Vivaz and offers a QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen interface and the Symbian S60th 5th edition operating system. We can hope to see these new phones all launching around Q2 2010. Excited to see SonyEricsson running Android? Leave us a comment!

As Engadget reported many Nexus One owners have been reporting radio issues on their handsets over the past weeks. Google tried to fix the problem once with a firmware update a couple weeks ago, however problems seem to persist and users are still dropping 3G left and right. In fact, a simple wave of the hand over the lower portion of the phone can cause a drop from 3G to EDGE.
However, there is good news for Nexus One-toting folks, because there have been reports of an update floating around internally which features an updated radio file. Packed with the update is Google Maps 3.4 as opposed to the recently released 4.0, which hints that it is probably an early build. It’s still comforting to know that HTC and Google hear your cries for help, and appear to be working on a solution. Hopefully this time though, it actually works.
