American Eagle is currently running a promo where you receive a free Android phone whenever you try on a pair of jeans…regardless of if you’re actually in the store or not. Of course, there are catches. After trying on a pair of jeans, you’re instructed to pick from a list of phones (Including Droid 1!) and sign up for a mobile contract. According to DroidLife, most of these phones are phones that already come free when you do commit to a mobile contract. But, in doing so, you also get yourself a $25 gift certificate. Basically this deal is really a deal if you a) Don’t have an Android phone but plan on getting yourself one. b) Aren’t already committed to a mobile contract. c) Shop at American Eagle. More »

Today, Google released a Google Voice app update to Android and Blackberry users. The update promises faster calls. Prior to the update, Google Voice users would call a Google Voice server that would connect the call via a Google access number. Now, with the update, each person you call is assigned their own unique phone number. The update leaves the data network to access the Google Voice server obsolete — you no longer need a ‘middle man’ … or in this case a server, to connect to a call. More »

A lot has been written about “Antenna Gate,” some of it from raging fanboys and fangirls who are blind, and some of it from more balanced and level headed perspectives. While HTC, Nokia, RIM, and Samsung vehemently try to disassociate themselves from Apple’s highly publicized iPhone 4 antenna problems, anyone who has done even half an hour of research on the topic will learn that Apple’s claims are mostly true.

The Droid is Motorola’s biggest star and is about to be followed up by the almost identical looking Droid 2. Over in China, a Droid clone has appeared that looks the part, but tragically, it runs Windows Mobile 6.5.
