Nine Verizon Phones to Get Unlimited Skype Calling

Nine Verizon smartphones with data plans will be able to make unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls, as well as calls to landline or mobile numbers.

Sprint Updates 2.1 Release Info for Hero and Moment

Today via their Twitter account Sprint announced they’re working with HTC and Samsung on options to upgrade the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment.

They also updated their release timeline from first half of 2010 to early second quarter of 2010 for an update to Android 2.1 for the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment.  Considering we’re nearing the end of the first quarter and the fact that HTC debuted the HTC Legend and Desire both running Android 2.1 with the new Sense UI overlay and FriendStream widget, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an end of March/early April release of the upgrade for Sprint’s HTC Hero users.

Motorola CLIQ-XT Coming to T-Mobile

CLIQ-XT is a keyboardless alternative to the existing Motorola CLIQ. Like the CLIQ, the XT runs the Android 1.5 operating system (it’s sad that it’s running 1.5 would have expected at least 1.6), using Motorola’s MOTOBLUR UI to keep your friends, pics, emails, SMS, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter happenings only a finger tap away.

The XT has a 3.1-inch, 320-by-480 screen touch-screen, below the screen, a touch pad helps you navigate the device. According to Motorola the CLIQ-XT improves call quality with dual-microphone noise cancellation. Other specs include a 1420 mAh battery for about six hours of 3G talk time, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, assisted GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, and a MicroSD memory card slot.

The Motorola CLIQ-XT arriving next month on T-Mobile’s U.S. network.
