It appears the HTC EVO 4G LTE has been freed from the callous clutches of U.S. Customs after clearing its International Trade Commission review. In case you didn’t know, the HTC EVO 4G LTE was held up at Customs due to allegations over patent infringement stemming from a ruling Apple won against HTC back in December. While nothing more than an inconvenience, the hold up has sparked outrage from some customers and even sparked some harsh words from Android community members. Thankfully, the wait is almost over — according to Sprint — and those who pre-ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE can expect them to ship around Thursday, May 24.

Sprint has just announced the availability of the HTC Bluetooth music adaptor for wirelessly streaming music from your phone through your car stereo speakers. It’s a fairly expensive adaptor at $59.99 and considering it plugs into a 3.5mm aux port, it’ll leave you wondering “why not just buy a cheap aux cable?”

The ASUS Transformer Pad 300 received a much welcomed update over the weekend, bringing it to build 9.4.3.29. Included in this latest update is the snazzy Face Unlock, battery usage details, and considerable performance enhancements. Users will appreciate the performance improvements, which finally address some of the annoying lag issues.

Now until May 24th, Wirefly and Verizon are offering a $40 bill credit to anyone who activates or upgrades a 4G LTE smartphone. Of course it requires a 2-year agreement, but hey, if you were planning on doing this anyways, you might as well save yourself $40.

T-Mobile has announced the availability of a certain tasty treat for HTC Amaze 4G owners. That’s right, Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich, is now available for the HTC Amaze 4G. To check for the update, simply go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > HTC Software Updates > Check. Follow the instructions and you’ll be on your way to enjoying the latest and greatest version of Android.
