Sprint kills the HTC EVO update in light of bricked handsets Almost immediately after Sprint started rolling out this morning’s over-the-air update for the HTC EVO 4G, we started getting tips claiming that the patch had totally wrecked their handset. Some of the folks complaining had modified their handsets through unofficial means; others were running it just as it came from the factory. Whatever was triggering it, one thing was sure: these handsets were now straight up broken. Pulling the safety cord before too many handsets get bricked, Sprint and HTC have just terminated the distribution of the OTA update. Read Sprint’s comment after the jump. Sprint’s comment: While the vast majority of consumers successfully downloaded and installed the most recent HTC EVO 4G software update, we have received a handful of reports from customers having some issues with the update. In light of this, HTC and Sprint have decided to temporarily halt distribution of this software release until we can investigate further. We expect to be able to resume software updates shortly. We’ve got no idea how widescale this issue is, but it seems pretty severe; we counted a few dozen complaints when we searched for verification early this morning, and that wasn’t too long after the update first went out. Given that these bricked handsets seem to be mostly irreparable, we can only hope Sprint’s got an emergency stockpile of replacement EVOs (and bill credit) for those who got tagged.

We knew that Samsung had a winner on their hands with the Samsung Galaxy S, and we knew that a US version would probably be popular, but we didn’t think we’d end up with 5 versions across 5 US carriers. If you’re stuck deciding on which variant would best suit you, we’ve compiled this handy list outlining the main differences, prices, and launch dates for the next Android super phone, as they compare to the original non-US model. Samsung Galaxy S (Original, non-US flavour) This is the phone that started it all, the standard-issue Samsung Galaxy S. The specs form the baseline upon which all the US variants are based, and consist of: Android 2.1 1GHz Cortex A8 “Hummingbird” CPU 4.0″ 800×480 Super-AMOLED display 5.0MP rear-facing camera (no flash) with 720p video recording VGA front-facing camera Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n Bluetooth 3.0 8GB or 16GB on-board storage with MicroSD expansion 512MB RAM 2.5G (GSM/ GPRS/ EDGE) : 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz 3G (HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps) : 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz (no US compatibility) A-GPS, accelerometer, digital compass, proximity sensor, light sensor, FM Radio Out now in Europe, UK, and parts of Asia. AT&T Samsung Captivate As above, with the removal of the front-facing VGA camera, and a new (BlackBerry-Storm-inspired body). It will come with 16GB on-board storage. No details as yet on a release date. T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant Specs as standard, but with no front-facing camera, a slightly tweaked body, and T-Mobile branding. Will sport 16GB of storage, and come bundled with Sims 3 and a full copy of Avatar on the 2GB MicroSD card. Released July 21 for $199 on a two year contract. Verizon Samsung Fascinate The internal storage has been slashed to 2GB on this unit, but Verizon have added an LED flash to the rear camera. I know I’d prefer a flash over internal storage, so it’s a winner in my books (thanks to Eric in the comments for the info). The news of this phone is so fresh that there are no photos or pricing details yet, but we’ll keep you posted as they arrive. US Cellular You thought the last news was fresh? I’ll give you fresh! We don’t even have a name for this variant yet, let alone photos, pricing, or modifcation details. Hold tight, they’ll come soon! Sprint Samsung Epic 4G The biggest variant of the bunch is Sprint’s, with the addition of both 4G connectivity and a QWERTY keyboard. Again, the specs run the same as the standard model (they’re even keeping the front-facing camera). We’ve also heard word that there will be a flash included on the rear-camera, unlike the original, and Sprint will include the same mobile hotspot connectivity as seen on the EVO 4G. It is rumoured to have the full 16GB on-board storage (rather than the 8GB seen on some Galaxy S models), but that’s yet to be officially announced. Sadly, there are no details as yet on pricing or a release date. So there you have it. 5 new versions for 5 different US markets. Samsung have said that this phone will launch in 110 countries, so you can soon expect to start seeing variants of this phone everywhere.

Palm certainly has been working on getting their app store populated. They kicked off a promotion back in February, which is ending soon, and has resulted in over 400 developers splitting up their share of a million dollars. Palm is also trying to increase interest in their applications by offering a 50% discount on the majority of their catalog, starting immediately. The good news for developers is that they will still be paid the full amount, despite the discount given to customers by Palm. In fact, Palm is working on pulling in even more developers. Palm is also working on encouraging application developers to submit new applications. Previously, there was a $50 fee charged for every application submitted. Palm is changing that policy, and no longer charging that application fee. They are even going so far as to refund the fee previously paid by developers. Definitely a far cry from certain other companies treat their application developers. Palm is also starting a new contest this July, with another million dollars to be shared amongst developers, this time focusing on applications using C/C++ which was excluded from the last competition.

Get the newer, faster IE9 preview build. Zoom Right now, Internet Explorer lags behind the likes of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera in terms of features and speed. But that's just version 8. With IE9, Microsoft is working to make it the best browser available. If you want to catch a glimpse at what Microsoft is doing for Internet Explorer 9, then you may want to try out the third platform preview of the upcoming browser. Officially, the Internet Explorer Platform Preview is for developers who want to test the new Internet Explorer 9 web development and design capabilities, including the new JavaScript engine – codename Chakra – as well as support for standards like HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1 and DOM. It's not meant to be a mission critical browser application, but enthusiasts looking to test out something faster than what they're running now have the option to do so. Early tests show that IE9 is indeed quite fast, even when compared up against the developer builds of Chrome 6 and Firefox 3.7. When it came down to it with HTML5 hardware acceleration, however, IE9 blew past Chrome 6 but Firefox 3.7 actually performed better. Check out Download Squad's test video for more. The browser wars still continue, even in the unreleased format. The good news for all of us that we can use more than one browser at a time on our machines and this sort of competition will only help to improve our internet experiences. If you're the adventurous type, download the preview. Be sure to check out the further reading from Microsoft below.

Is Foxconn installing safety nets to prevent more deaths? Foxconn has received a ton of attention because of a cluster of suicides at one of the company's Chinese factories. It's led to scrutiny of working conditions at the factory and a number of undercover reports have provided detailed descriptions of what it's like to work at the electronics manufacturing plant. Foxconn has taken steps to try and stop the suicides. The company has hired councilors, monks and exorcists and given everyone a raise. They also asked employees to sign no-suicide contracts but retracted the idea after they realized it was a bit insensitive. The latest effort on Foxconn's part appears to be installing safety nets to catch those who do decide to jump. A Gizmodo tipster sent in a photo of what are allegedly Foxconn-owned buildings in China. The photo also features safety nets that were supposedly installed to prevent any more deaths. Foxconn has yet to comment on whether the picture on Gizmodo is actually of factory buildings.

The giant iPhone is still the fastest one. Zoom We all know that the new iPhone 4 runs on the same A4 package-on-package, err, package as the iPad. It's nice little ARM and PowerVR combo chip that works quite well the iOS. Apple never disclosed the clock speed of the A4 in the iPhone 4, which means that it could be running slower than the 1GHz model in the iPad. That would make sense as battery life is a more critical factor for a phone. Early benchmarks, as shown by MacRumors, between the devices seem to show that the iPhone 4 is indeed a bit slower than the 1GHz iPad, but still faster than the 600MHz Cortex A8 iPhone 3GS. For those pondering how much faster the iPhone 4 is over the 3GS, Geekbench for iOS4 show that the new phone is 31 percent faster than last year's model.

@sujai sundar -- and what will happen if some one wants to calls you after 3 year and it will say this number dose not exists ? , Same operator is not important to us, Same number is like our ID, I have kept my 1st number still alive due to this, (its almost 9 year now ) And you all guys dont wait for MNP, find the work around (call divert little expensive but effective)
