LG Aloha, Still Alive and Headed To AT&T?

Posted: 16 May 2010 10:53 AM PDT

Here's a device that has undergone many changes on its way onto the market. The LG Aloha could very well be the LG LU2300, most of heard that it was renamed Ally but that may not be the case. A device from LG with the model number LG-C710h has just passed through the FCC.

Rumored specs include:

* Android 2.1
* 1 GHz Snapdragon processor
* 3.5-inch AMOLED 800×480 touch display
* Sliding 4-row QWERTY keyboard
* 5 megapixel camera
* 720p HD DivX compatible playback
* WiFi, GPS, DMB tuner

The LG C710 supports WCDMA bands II and V, 1900 and 850, which are the same frequencies used for AT&T's 3G network. These same frequencies are also used for Rogers Wireless and a few other Canadian carriers, this handset could make its way to one those carriers also. If this does go to AT&T it will join the Backflip as the second Android device in their lineup.

HTC EVO 4G packaging leaks

Posted: 15 May 2010 07:08 PM PDT

A few lucky Sprint employees managed to get their hands on the HTC EVO 4G, luckily for us they was kind enough to show us the packaging. I would've preferred an unboxing but we'll settle for this (for now). As good as the phone looks both internal and externally, we can't say the same about this choice in packaging.

If you've ever eaten a microwave dinner then you'll be familiar with this packaging scheme. This Swanson dinner knockoff has a nice picture of the EVO proudly displaying its micro USB and HDMI ports. You can also see the QIK logo, QIK is Sprint's partner that allows the EVO to use the front facing camera for video calls.

The user's guide looks pretty thick and it appears to be constructed out of better stuff than the box. So far this is Sprint's first stumble in marketing this device but I'm sure it won't prevent many people from buying this awesome device. Look on the bright side, when you take your phone out you can heat up some noodles to eat while you play with your new toy.
