The gang over at Wirefly has a pretty sweet deal for you if you've been trying without any success to pick up Sprint's HTC EVO 4G. It looks like Wirefly just got a bunch of EVOs in, and if you're a Wirefly Facebook fan (or choose to become one), you have first dibs.

"If you've been trying to get your hands on the HTC EVO 4G for weeks now without any luck, your Facebook account may be your ticket into this still exclusive superphone club.

To take advantage of this exclusive Wirefly offer, you must "like" Wirefly on Facebook."

"Here's how it works:

How does the Motorola DROID 2 compare to the DROID X?

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:47:12 -0500

Several of our readers have asked us how the new Motorola DROID 2 compares to the recently released DROID X. Of course, the most obvious (and probably biggest) difference between the DROID 2 and DROID X is the difference in display size. The DROID X has a large 4.3 inch display, while the DROID 2 has a substantially smaller (but still nicely sized) 3.7 inch display.

Despite a number of differences beyond display size that certainly define each phone -- think QWERTY keyboard and camera -- the DROID 2 and DROID X are also pretty similar in a good number of ways. How similar? Well, check out this comprehensive DROID 2 vs. DROID X comparison chart.

AT&T Smartphone Battle: BlackBerry Torch vs.

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:08:43 -0500

The next generation of BlackBerrys has debuted on AT&T, and with an entirely new form factor, wholly revamped operating system, and upgraded hardware, the BlackBerry Torch is a formidable competitor against AT&T's impressive smartphone lineup.

The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is the first BlackBerry with a full capacitive touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard similar to that of the Bold series of BlackBerrys that slides from the bottom of the device. The Torch's specs include a 3.2 inch display, 5-megapixel camera, 512MB of RAM and a 624 MHz processor.

If you're looking for a smartphone on the AT&T network, you may very well be trying to choose between the Torch, the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Apple iPhone 4, and the Android Powered Samsung Captivate. In their usual style, Wirefly has published a number of comparisons pitting the Torch against these popular AT&T phones.

Watch your back, iPhone 4

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 17:28:04 -0500

Hey iPhone 4, you better watch your back, it looks like a posse of Android phones have finally managed to infiltrate AT&T and are looking to make up for lost time. The just-released HTC Aria, a small and attractive device with HTC's Sense UI, and the upcoming Samsung Captivate with a giant 4" display threaten to join forces with the uniquely-designed Motorola BACKFLIP. The trio of Android phones, with more reinforcements on the way from Dell, were matched up side-by-side by the team over at Wirefly. The iPhone 4 vs. Samsung Captivate comparison is perhaps most enlightening, and the Aria vs. iPhone 4 comparison certainly shows that the compact Aria packs a punch. The Aria also appears to take the iPhone on in price, and the guys at Wirefly have made it such that you can get a FREE HTC Aria on contract.
