Those of you who bought your Galaxy S II though the Orange network are going to be waiting for a good few weeks longer for your Android 4.0 update, with Orange claiming its upgrade for Samsung’s superphone won’t be arriving until “April” at the earliest.
The rather vague date will be a disappointment for Orange-connected Galaxy S II owners, especially as those who get their minutes and texts through Three received the OS update last week.
But at least it’s only a month or so delay. That’s actually pretty good for Orange, compared with some previously disastrous OS turnarounds by the network that have lagged others by much, much longer periods.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ March 23, 2012Surprisingly quick considering how long I waited to get from 1.5 to 2.1 on my Hero with Orange.
Can’t make my mind up whether I should just get the SII ICS that’s up on XDA forums and be rid of all the foul Orange bloatware…

/ March 23, 2012From the Finnish point of view: the phone looks black instead of orange to me.
:D
