No, I've no idea why Orange have renamed the HTC Tattoo to the Tattoo Ink, but here it is anyway. The touch-screen phone runs Android 1.6 and is the first Android to have a 240x320 QVGA 2.8" screen. Now, whilst that screen isn't quite as hi-res as the...

It looks like Acer have indeed shifted to Android, and in a big way. This is the Acer Liquid - a 1Ghz CPU and 800x480 WVGA capacative touchscreen being just some of the rather stunning specs. We already thought that the 528Mhz CPU in handsets like the...

The HTC Hero. It's great, but recently an update appeared to make it even greater (I'm declaring that a word). It's been available for generic Hero devices since September 15th and for Orange customers since September 20th. But what of those T-Mobile ...
