Hasta La Gadget!

Apple is ready to start taking your money for the iPhone 5c in all its multi-hued glory. You can hit the Apple Store to order one on a two year contract through Sprint, AT&T and Verizon for $99 (16GB) and $199 (32GB). It can also be pre-ordered from all those carriers directly (see the links above) at the the same prices, and if unlocked is more your thing, a contract-free version is available through T-Mobile for $549 (16GB) and $649 (32GB). Pre-orders have also opened across ten other countries, like Canada and the UK, where the sun has already risen on Friday the 13th. They’ll start shipping out on September 20th, the same day the iPhone 5s hits stores. A bit more than some thought they’d be, but you can’t put a price on being first, right?

Update: Apple’s store is now up, and it looks like you can also pre-order from T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon at the links above. Other international carriers are also taking orders; we’ve rounded up a few at the More Coverage link after the break.

We have been hearing a fair bit about the HTC One Max as the device has appeared in leaked images along with its alleged specifications. Now thanks to a tweet by the ever-reliable @evleaks, it seems that the HTC One Max moniker has since been “confirmed” and that the handset is expected to make its way onto Sprint’s network, although no specific dates were mentioned. The last we heard, the handset was expected to see a release in Q4 2013, so it possible an announcement could be made in the upcoming weeks/months.

HTC One max is Sprint-bound.

The HTC One Max will be HTC’s attempt at a phablet that will give Samsung’s recently announced Galaxy Note 3 a run for its money. Its rumored specs include a 5.9” Super LCD-3 display with a resolution of 1920×1080. It will sport a quad-core processor by Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 800, clocked at 2.3GHz with 2GB of RAM accompanying it, a 3,200mAh battery, and will run on Android. Interestingly one of the features of the HTC One Max would be a fingerprint sensor as well, a feature that was recently introduced with the iPhone 5S as well, so it will be interesting to see which technology will outperform the other.

We’ve seen AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon commit to releasing the LG G2 this fall… but where’s Sprint’s version? Don’t worry, fans, the carrier hasn’t forgotten you. Sprint now says it will take pre-orders for the $200 Android flagship starting on October 11th, with a release “in time for the holidays.” In return for the wait, the provider is giving out free QuickWindow covers to everyone who pre-orders a G2 through its website. We doubt that the gift will quell the jealousy of Sprint customers whose friends get a G2 weeks in advance, but the more patient among those subscribers can register their interest at the source link.

We’ve already seen Google and Motorola’s creation, the Moto X, land on AT&T and Verizon, and now it’s time for Sprint to add the handset to its lineup. The Now Network announced today that the Moto X will be available for $199.99 with a two-year contract, though there is a limited time promotion which allows new subscribers to get the device for $100 less by way of instant credit. Sprint’s going to only be offering the Moto X in woven black and white to kick things off, but the carrier did say that the Moto Maker feature is expected to be supported “in the coming months.”
