So…This is huge. Looks like we’ve finally got what appears to be a concrete release date for the Droid Bionic by Motorola. Even crazier than having it though, is the date itself – August 4th. While everyone was basically expecting this phone some time this summer, late August was the general consensus.

Furthermore, the Bionic was delayed, delayed, and delayed some more, leaving us all half-expecting it to not be out until fall. With a normal phone delayed this much, we’d be a little wary of the specs, as all too often a phone’s release will be pushed back due to contract negotiations or some other business function, and the phone won’t be updated in the meantime. Then, when the phone releases, its specs are already out of date. The Bionic though, appears to be a different story. Supposedly, the Bionic was delayed when the iPhone 4 came out, in order to be able to better compete with what Motorola felt will be the Bionic’s competition, which we hope Moto knows is the iPhone 5.

So a quick summary of a few different rumors around the Internet…We saw an interesting amalgamation of news this week surrounding the supposed “Nexus 4G,” including some crazy specs, and a potential release period.

While Google hasn’t really mentioned anything about a new Nexus device (and of course neither have any carriers) we have assumed one is forthcoming. With the success of the prior two Nexus devices, and Google’s constant desire to put skinless Android on a fast, marketable device, you can pretty well count on a new Nexus phone every once in a while.

Droid-Life was reporting last week that a Verizon Wireless rep had announced that Samsung’s Galaxy S II would be available through the carrier come July. Well, it looks like the rep was mistaken, and that wasn’t quite the case. What is face, however, is that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (head here for our details on this new Samsung tablet…) from Samsung will be for sale come July, and frankly, this news is just as good.

Giving us no exact date is a little annoying, but who are we to complain? If you recall, we’re talking about the thinnest tablet on the market to date, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and Google’s Honeycomb 3.1, making it right on par with Motorola’s fully updated Xoom, but right from out of the box.

So are you waiting until July for your tablet purchase, or do you already have an iPad 2 anyway? Let us know in the comments, or give us a shout on Twitter!

Guess what? Like we reported on earlier this month, the HTC Sensation is available today at T-Mobile. If you remember, the Sensation has been up for sale in Walmart stores for 3 days now, but is now available at T-Mobile storefronts nationwide. Even better yet, if you order online, you’ll get a $50 discount right off the top, bringing the phone down to match Walmart’s final price of $150.

Just as a refresher, the Sensation is one of the hottest phones available, with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3″ qHD screen, and HCT’s Sense 3.0 skin. The phone’s got super specs, and should a ridiculous phone to review. We’re trying to get our hands on one to review, so hang tight and keep your eye out for our take on the hottest phone on the block right now.

What do you think of the Sensation? Are you a T-Mo customer, and if so, will you be picking one up?

Looks like XDA China has gotten their paws on a Droid 3 early…And the reviews aren’t as good we hoped. While the processor performed well, and the new version of Motoblur is definitely a go, it looks like Motorola skimped in a couple of all too important areas.

First, the screen. Motorola has apparently outfitted the Droid 3 (or Milestone 3, depending on what country you live in) with a Pentile screen. This same screen has gotten negative reviews across the board, as you can basically see pixels (not actual pixels, but that’s how it appears) once you zoom in at all to something like, say, a website. Video is also particularly bad on these. An even bigger deal though, and frankly an extreme disappointment, is the internal spec that’s lacking.

As should be pretty obvious at this point, we’re always on the lookout for the next “big thing” in the mobile space. When the original Droid came out, it was definitely a “big thing,” and now we’re seeing some more details on the Droid 3, or the next phone in that hallowed line of Droids by Motorola. We told you about some of these specs before, but its definitely nice to see an actual device, as well as get some more info on it.

What’s that? What did you say? The View 4G isn’t enough on its own to get you into a Sprint store on the 24th? Well good news pal, here’s an extra something to get you up to the register and handing over that hard earned cash to Sprint instead of whoever you might at the moment…The HTC Evo 3D, which we gave you the rundown on back in the beginning of May, will be joining HTC’s View 4G in Sprint stores on the 24th.

 
This will make Sprint a premier carrier for HTC devices at the moment, as with the exception of T-Mobile’s upcoming Sensation (which will be hitting T-Mobile and Walmart stores this month), they’ve got the market cornered on the latest and greatest devices from the one of our favorite mobile manufacturers.

For a quick refresher on the device’s details, and more, hit up the read link below!

Looks like we’ll have another tablet entering the fray soon. Sprint’s site has just leaked that HTC’s newest Sense based tablet will make it way onto the carrier’s shelves starting June 24th. If the iPad feels a little big to you, check out the View! Rocking Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and Sense for Tablets, the UI and tablet experience should certainly best that of the original Galaxy Tab.

Additional specs include 32GB of internal storage, a single-core 1.5GHz processor, and front and rear facing cameras. With a 7″ screen, WiMax for super fast (although not quite LTE-fast) internet speeds, and the custom stylus to boot (sold seperately, what an oversight by HTC/Sprint…) the View does have some perks that might convince some to sign that (relatively) inexpensive Sprint contract.

The question is…Will you be one of them? Let us know what you think below, or hit us up on Twitter @ITKtweets!

Well, well, well! Looks like we’re inching ever closer to the release of the latest (and by far greatest so far) Android tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been revered as one of the slickest tablet experiences to date, competing head-to-head-with the iPad 2. Looks like we’ll see this one in stores tomorrow, 6/8, with 4G LTE on board.

While Apple may have hooked up their iPad (and other iOS devices) with a batch of new features yesterday, they aren’t available as of yet, and if you’ve got an Android phone, you may want to stay on the platform! So check out the remaining specs for this beast after the break!

Well, what did we get? We’ll be posting a full wrap-up later with all the juicy details, but click through for the highlights as they become available!
