Android 2.1 Eclair update is meant only for the US BACKFLIP and CLIQ. Both ROMs are already available via Motorola's support sections and all US users can upgrade right now.

In case you have forgotten, Motorola announced their update schedule a few months back. Its been clear ever since that the Eclair updates will land only on the State-side BACKFLIP and CLIQ.

Whatever the real reasons for this, we are sure Motorola did leave lots of users disappointed. Surely they will think twice before buying another Moto smartphone.

What a world we live in when overclocking your handset now no longer requires geeky credentials or really any knowledge of the underlying firmware. Instead all you have to do is download an app and a higher clock speed is a finger jab away! Well at least for Droid X and Droid 2 owners.

The hubbub comes courtesy of the DX/D2 Overclocker app for Android, which works to overclock the afore mentioned handsets. The app, released by Unstable Apps (perhaps not the best choice of names for a company releasing an app that could potentially ruin your handset) allows the user to run their handset at either a low voltage setting, the default setting or two designated voltages that are above the recommended limit. The upper limit of the app apparently being 1.3 Ghz.

The app is available in the Market For $0.99

Two hot Android devices are coming to T-Mobile UK this November. The 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab and the tough IP67-certified Motorola DEFY are already listed into the carrier's website and you can register your interest right now.

There is not any info on the pricing and exact availability, but November is just around the corner so it should not take long.

Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy Tab processor is mentioned as a 1.2GHz one, but according to Samsung the ARM A8 Cortex runs at 1GHz. Most probably T-Mobile UK has made a mistake.
