Yesterday, we saw the first shot of the upcoming LG Vortex, which is actually the LG Optimus One for Verizon. We already know about the specs about the Optimus One, but one feature is missing in Vortex. Vortex will not be featuring the FM Radio, which is a bad news for folks who love radio-capable phones.

Verizon picked up Bing search over Google search for LG Vortex. The phones comes with Froyo in it, and Engadget tipster told them that it’s a pretty good device. I think Vortex would be a good choice for folks who are looking forward to a cheap, good, and a reliable Android device. Watch another shot of the Vortex after the break:

A few days ago, we told you that Verizon will be discontinuing the current model of Droid 2, and will launch a world edition of Droid 2 instead of it. First it was just a rumor, but now it fells like a true story, because the image above is the first image of the Motorola Droid 2 World edition, which is actually a dual GSM/CDMA version of Droid 2. The model you can see in the image above is white, and Droid-Life is saying that there will be other colors too, like blue and black. There is no difference between the Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global, only the radio frequencies, but may be the processor too. The current Droid 2 comes with a 1 GHz processor, but according to screenshot below, may be the D2 World edition features a 1.2 Ghz processor. Well that would be good news if you are currently looking forward to Droid 2 World Edition. A full 200 MHz higher than the current model, is that the only new upgrade, or there is something else too? We’ll figure it out soon.

Today is an exciting day for all folks who want to see HTC HD7, because a lot of images of it are leaked today. First of all, the folks over WMPUser got their hands on a sketch of HTC HD7, which proves that the handset is real and is on its way. Then WMPUser come up with another photo and some information on specification of the phone. They spotted the specs details on a German site, and they are saying that the device comes with a huge 4.3 inch WVGA screen with 16 million colors, runs on a standard 1Ghz Snapdragon processor,  5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and HD video recording, and 8 GB storage, that’s all they know. 8GB storage is a little less, but don’t worry, there’s a microSD slot, so you can upgrade to your desirable memory. And now, lets talk about some real thing. After the break, you will see some first real shots of the HTC HD7. Actually, the codename of the phone is HD3 (you can see at the back), but it will be known as HTC HD7 because of the Windows Phone 7. Also we can see a kickstand right around the camera, which looks really sexy. The only thing which is deal breaker in it is 8GB storage, but folks listen, you have a microSD slot, so you can use a 32GB card too. I hope HTC will ship a microSD card with it. By the way folks, this is the best HTC HD series mobile yet, isn’t it?

Many of us are wondering about the date of publication of the update to Galaxy S. FroyoFinally it will be in late October through Samsung Kies.Monday at 8:15 a.m.

So here we have it, it’s not confirm that this is also for US Galaxy S models, may be this is only for Spain. But if Samsung didn’t launch it by the end of this month, then this might be true. Well folks, that’s all we know. All the competitors of Galaxy S are on Android 2.2 (EVO 4G, Droid X), and Galaxy S is falling down because of this reason. So folks I hope Samsung will launch Android 2.2 for Galaxy S asap, so it can stand with its competitors with pride.
