Motorola XT882 King of Duals Comes to China This Month

We say the Motorola XT882, dubbed Swordfish, is the King of Duals because it has everything in pairs! The smartphone was announced back in May by Motorola and designed specifically for China where it will be available this month -- and we wish we've got it too! 

The Motorola XT882 runs Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread and is referred to by the manufacturer as the first dual-core, dual-mode, dual-standby Android smartphone -- "the triple dual". It sports a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 4-inch qHD display, eight-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and 1080p video capture and playback capability, front facer for video chat, 8GB of internal memory, HDMI port, and a huge 1880 mAh battery. 

The great feature here is CDMA EV-DO/GSM dual-mode dual-standby since the smartphone has dual SIM support. There's Motorola's own MOTOBLUR included of course and the smartphone will be available this month for around $830 with China Telecom.

Sprint HTC EVO 4G Gets Gingerbread Update, Breaks Netflix

Just as expected for a June 3 release, the Sprint HTC EVO 4G got its Android 2.3 Gingerbread update but seems like you have to manually check for a refresh in order to get the notification and download the updated ROM 

The update, besides the new version of Google Android, brings lots of bugfixes and performance improvements as well as updated Google applications. Unfortunately though, the platform refresh breaks Netflix functionality which, after several reports, has been acknowledged by Netflix itself on Twitter. Let's hope they find the bug and iron it out quickly!
