HTC Saga Spotted in Taiwan [Unibody Pic, Clear]
It seems that over in Taiwan an intrepid young leaker has let loose a new image of what he or she calls codename “Saga,” and it appears that it might be one o’ those flagship phones from none other than HTC herself. Also according to the leakster this phone is running Android 2.2.1 and belongs to a “client” of his. He’s decided that it’s approximately as thick as the HTC Legend or 7 Mozart.
This phone will certainly be popping up during Mobile World Congress 2011, which we’ll be at live to tell you how it feels in our claws. Besides the fact that the back looks less than appealing, we don’t know that much about this phone. Have you got any more info? Let us know asap!

Angry Birds [SPOILER ALERT] Preview of Secret Superbowl Level!
Tomorrow during the Superbowl, something completely amazing is going to happen. This game, Superbowl XLV, one of the biggest and most watched sports games of the year, this year hosting one of the oldest rivalries in the sport, the Pittsburgh Steelers verses the Green Bay Packers, will have a secret code in it. This code will pop up on your television screen during a preview for the 3D animation animal movie “RIO,” coming to a theater near you soon. What will this code reveal? A super secret Angry Birds level. What have we got for you here and now? An early glimpse of that level. Look below for a big fat spoiler.
The level you’re about to see in the gallery below is either an extremely elaborate hoax done by a relatively talented Photoshop artist, or it’s the super secret Angry Birds level you’re going to be able to access indeed. Either way would make sense, though a Photoshop job would more than likely carry a watermark of some kind, and heck, it looks like it’d fit right in with the rest of the levels that were released today, yes?
Now the fun lies in figuring out what kind of ammo we’ll be given to launch at this puzzle. What do you think? Maybe a bomb or two, more than likely a few blue birds to start us off busting up that big glass “R.” No matter what we’re going to guess at least five birds, no more than 6. Any guesses?

It has begun! The free wars. Not that giving away smartphones for free (with contract) is a brand new idea, but giving away a phone of this magnitude certainly is a bold move by Verizon. Apparently if you attend the grand opening of at least one Verizon location in Northampton, MA, you’ll be eligible to win a basically free HTC Thunderbolt and walk out of the store with it that day. Everyone else in the world who isn’t inside the network will have to wait until February 14th for the honor of holding this phone for their very own.
The store in question will be giving away not one, but TWO free phones on February 12th, one of them being the 4G speed HTC ThunderBolt, the other being a complete mystery. Maybe a WebOS phone. Maybe something exciting. They’ll also have food and beverages, and their local radio station 93.9 The River will be broadcasting and giving away ski passes. So win a phone or just go skiing. Probably don’t bring the phone on your ski trip or it’ll get stolen in the locker room.
The location of this particular Verizon is 162 North King St Big Y, Walmart, Staples Plaza, Northampton, MA 01060, and it’s already been soft-opened. They’re open seven days a week and if you’d like to call them up to confirm the phones they’ve got or if they reeeally plan on giving a ThunderBolt away early, you can call them up at 413-341-3473. Nate will take care of you.

Angry Birds Update Today with 30 Extra Levels, Access to your SMS
The folks at Rovio Mobile Limited have granted this earth a brand new world of Angry Birds today – and it’s not the Valentine’s Day edition. Ham Em’ High is a western themed AB world with 30 extra levels, a few new bonus items and – new to the whole game, a graphics toggle for lower end devices. No more need for Angry Birds Lite. Only thing this expansion doesn’t have is a good reason for asking for permission to use your sms – WHOA WHAT?!
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, take a peek at what this upgrade has to offer in the permissions department:
Take a look at the upgrade for this app in the “What’s New” section in the Android Market listing for Angry Birds: AM_Angry Birds — and perhaps there is no reason to fear. Have a look at some of the reviews left today on the app, followed by a small gallery of gameplay.

This application has access to the following:Why Rovio is asking for this permission and what they plan to do with it are a mystery to us. It doesn’t seem very likely that Rovio would opt to read your sms messages, and the text you see above is the same for any app that allows these permissions, but it’s erring on the side of caution, and if you’d like to do the same thing, you’d be better off holding on the download for now, at least until Rovio explains what the deal is.

HTC Desire 2, Flyer, Pyramid, LG Optimus 3D, Star Tab Appear in Inventory Lists
Dear sneaky ninja photographers, thank you so very much for your help in finding ways for early adopters to get pumped up earlier than was ever possible before. That said, the photos you’re about to lay eyes on, dear reader, were submitted to fonearena overnight, and they show no less than HTC Desire, HTC Flyer, HTC Pyramid, LG Optimus 3D, and a Star Tab in various inventory lists. Although we trust fonearena to be tossing out trustable info, and they say this source has been good in the past, there’s always the fact that these lists could quite easily have been replicated in any gridlike program for computing.
Regardless of that, this is exciting. HTC Desire 2 and HTC Pyramid which was only just rumored a couple days ago. HTC Flyer, a much looked forward to Android tablet. The LG Optimus 3D! Star Tab LG, looking like, as FoneArena suggests, the European version of the Optimus Pad. Most or all of these devices will be revealed in earnest at Mobile World Congress 2011, a set of events which we’ll be running around quickly to bring you news about all bits in time and with mighty excitement.
