This image has no alt text

Looking back on this week in Android some pretty big stories stand out. Verizon launched two new Android devices and delayed another, the Samsung DROID Charge due to 4G LTE outages; the Atrix 4G and Inspire 4G finally received HSUPA support through new updates; and then there are the leftovers, which you can find below. TGIF!

HTC Thunderbolt Receives Update With Enhanced 3G Connectivity and Messaging Fixes

This image has no alt text

Remember that new HTC Thunderbolt software that leaked a little over a week ago? It’s prepped and ready for installation, as Verizon has updated their support page to reflect the latest tweaks and enhancements that will hit their first 4G LTE handset. The main fix here is enhanced 3G data connectivity, which should alleviate some of the 4G/3G switching problems some users have experienced. Messaging fixes correct incorrectly displayed SMS and MMS messages. As is usual, expect this one to roll out over the next couple of weeks, so don’t panic if it doesn’t hit your handset this weekend. See the full release notes at the source link below, and let us know in the comments when you receive your update.

Droid Line Gets a Pair of Branded Headphones from Motorola

This image has no alt text

It looks like the Droid line’s foray into accessories doesn’t end with the CommandOne Bluetooth headset. Motorola is reintroducing their S10-HD Bluetooth headphones complete with Droid branding and packaging. For a wallet munching $99.99, they’ll even throw in a special edition Droid armband. So far Motorola has been the only brand to grab the Droid name on their accessories, but Verizon seems keen on using the tag to push products that otherwise might not get much play.
