Could this be the GSM version of HTC EVO 3D?
HTC showcased the EVO 3D back in March, which was their first phone capable of recording images and videos in 3D. That phone, however, was intended for Sprint’s CDMA network. But HTC may just have a GSM version of the EVO 3D up its sleeve.
Pocketnow.com came across these images on HTC’s website. The one on the extreme left is the one that they initially announced, the one in the middle that was put up on HTC’s website but later pulled and the last one that appeared on HTC’s developer website and the one that we are going to talk about.
Notable differences between this and the others include a lack of circles around the keys below the display, which were exclusive to the HTC phones on Sprint's network. Along the side, the volume control button, camera shutter button and the 2D/3D mode switch have been redesigned. On the back the camera lenses don’t have the red surround and the window for the LED flash has a different design.
It’s also running an older version of Sense but if you look carefully at the icons you can see that it’s because the screen does not belong to the phone but it’s just pasted there from some other HTC phone. The EVO 3D has a qHD display which makes the icons look smaller with more gaps between them as is evident from the other two phones but this one looks more like the one on phones running WVGA screens.
All this point toward the fact that this slightly redesigned handset might just be the GSM version of the EVO 3D. If this is true it won’t be the first time HTC has done this. They created GSM versions of existing CDMA phones before, for example, the Desire HD is virtually a clone of the EVO 4G. Perhaps this could be the Desire 3D?

Latest software update brings forth improved performance to the HTC Flyer.
Fortunately, the Gingerbread flavored tablet with HTC’s Sense UI layered on top of it is already seeing its first software update. The new over-the-air update is being pushed out provides “improved system performance,“ which should speed certain aspects just a little but to exude an even better responsive experience. Besides the bump in performance, everything else visually remains unchanged, but nonetheless, it should keep early adopters content in the meantime.
If you haven’t received the notification just yet, you can always initiate the process manually by getting in the Android settings menu and going in the section for updates.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 release date officially announced as June 8.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1's release date coincides with a number of earlier rumors that have been teasing us for quite some time. The sad part, however, is thatavailability will be limited, and that the tablet will be only sold at the Best Buy Union Square Store in New York City. This means that everybody who wants to get their hands on Samsung's 10-inch tablet yet does not live nearby will have to wait a little longer, or until June 17 to be precise, when the device will be available nationwide both online and in stores.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a waistline of only 8.6 millimeters, which makes it thinner than any other tablet currently on the market. It features a touchscreen panel with 1280x800 resolution, a 3-megapixel camera on its back, and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter. Under the hood you will find Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset clocked at 1GHz, and the whole show is ran by Google's Android 3.1 Honeycomb.
