Ofcourse, I’m talking about the Nokia C7, Nokia X7, Nokia E7 and Nokia N9 that you can see in the image above. We’ve seen the others, but what about these? Are they going to be released this year? Or slated for 2011?

For now, all we have is a leaked Nokia document revealing these handset models which we are sure to see sometime soon in the near future! And oh, one phone I did miss. The Nokia S series chimney! Huh?

HTC Droid Incredible Root is Now Possible

hTC Droid Incredible rooted. Yes, the phone which we all thought won’t get easily rooted and was one of HTC’s finest smartphones was finally rooted today.

The procedure to root HTC Droid Incredible is not easy and is recommended only for power users, but yes, atleast you can root Droid Incredible now!

Before this goes nuts. Yes, we got two phone’s rooted. I will update here if we find a way to make it likely and/or with more details. But suffice to say, at the moment its not very repeatable. We are working on many methods still, but this will be useful in many ways.

How to Root Droid Incredible

For the entire procedure and how to root Droid Incredible, visit the official Unrevoked team website.

Now all you have to wait for is an unofficial Froyo leak for Droid Incredible ;)

Nexus One FRF72 Software Update

software update has started rolling out! Google has just started pushing the software update OTA internally, and will be followed by a public release real soon. And no, it’s not Android 2.3 ;)

Not much is known about what new changes and features have been added in this FRF72 software update for Nexus One, but it looks nothing more than bug fix and improvement release.

Nexus One (Build FRF72)

The changelog that came with the update only mentioned about better Flash support for the browser, and some other browser improvements which will make it faster! FRF72 is of just 1.8MB in size.

Adobe released an update to Flash Player 10.1 for Android a couple of days ago, may be this Nexus One software update is to accommodate those new changes in Flash and provide better support to the Android browser.

Update: For all those wondering if I have faked this, do a search on Twitter or Google and you will find another Google employee tweeting about the Nexus One FRF72 update.

Update 2: This seems to be an internal update, meant just for Google employees as no public release has been seen. Or may be, they plan to release it after they have verified it works fine and causes no bugs/glitches.
