Ladies and gentleman, you can now mark your calendars with a permanent pen, felt-tip marker, or even a paint brush. Microsoft’s announced that the next Xbox Live Dashboard update is beaming to your console on August 11th. This one includes Games on Demand, user ratings for games, a number of Netflix additions, and the much-anticipated (maybe not) ability to spend actual money on clothing for your Avatar. What it doesn’t have is Twitter, Last.fm, and Facebook support, but according to Microsoft, those are still coming sometime later this fall. You went ahead and signed up for the preview program, right?

We may have scored HTC’s latest Android-infused device for a brief window of time, but if you’re hoping to snag one for keeps, you’ll need to jet over to the UK and sign away your cellular soul to Orange. Based on a brief but pointed tweet from a carrier representative, the HTC Hero will be “available from Orange UK retail stores [starting] tomorrow.” The phone is already up on the operator’s website in a delightful graphite hue, and the price of £0.00 on a pay monthly contract sure is luscious. So much for T-Mobile Germany getting a jump on everyone, huh?

LG enV Touch

I’m looking to buy a new cellular phone, and seek your advice. I want the best CDMA (for Verizon) phone that isn’t a BlackBerry or 3G/smartphone for plan purposes. I’ve pretty much come down to the Versa and the enV Touch. I’ve found the enV to be superior in terms of hardware specs, but it’s difficult to know without reviewing them both myself. But you reviewed them both yourself! So you could help me! — Dillen, via e-mail
I’ve answered this on the Dialed In podcast already, but thought it would be good to put this in the column as well. Both the LG Versa and the enV Touch have pros and cons, but I tend to lean toward the enV Touch for the better keyboard and design. The features are very similar, and the Versa is better if you like having optional modules and like to go without a keyboard every once in awhile. Still, the enV Touch has a better camera and is a little more affordable. Perhaps we should have a Prizefight between the two phones–thanks for the idea!
