Windows Phone 8 variant of HTC One coming soon?

Almost everyone is praising HTC's One for being an excellent Android smartphone, and that's mainly because the Taiwanese company has managed to find a near flawless combination of design, specs, and software capabilities. So it should come as no surprise that HTC might want to launch another handset like it, but with Windows Phone 8 on board. According to Neowin, HTC is indeed working on a new WP8 device that will be similar, although not identical to the One.

AT&T NEC Terrain now available online for $100 with a 2-year agreement

I'll admit, the amount of Android devices featuring physical QWERTY keyboards is slowly dwindling, but thanks to the newly launched BlackBerry Q10, we might see them make a comeback. Take the AT&T NEC Terrain for instance. Available online-only starting today, the device shares a BlackBerry-styled 4-row physical QWERTY keyboard on its face, along with a 3.1-inch 640×480 resolution display. While that may sound small, keep in mind you wont have to bother with a virtual keyboard taking up added screen real estate.

With 505 horsepower shoved into a 3,527-pound package, the creation should have no trouble covering ground very quickly.

XT1055 might be a Motorola X Phone for US Cellular

Motorola hasn't introduced a single new smartphone in the US since 2012. But it will do it starting "late summer", when the long-rumored Moto X is going to be released. Motorola and Google are planning to launch several versions of the handset (also called X FON in some reports) via all major US carriers.
From previously leaked details, Verizon's Motorola X is the XT1060, the AT&T version is the XT1058, while Sprint is going to have the XT1056. Now it looks like US Cellular's Moto X has been discovered, too, as the XT1055 which received FCC's stamp of approval earlier today.

Fiat officially introduces seven-seat 500L Living

As Fiat prepares to expand the lineup of the 500 with the roomier 500L, the Italian automaker has just announced a further addition to its enlarged hatchback offering. While the standard 500L has a five-passenger seating configuration, the new 500L Living brings a third row of seats, upping capacity to seven passengers. Based on the specs Fiat released, the 500L Living has had its overall length stretched by about eight inches to accommodate the extra seats, while width and height stay about the same. We still have no word on the wheelbase of this new model versus the 500L.

The red “Aurora” Galaxy S4 16GB is now officially available exclusively from A&T for $200 on-contract. Only a few days late from AT&T's originally anouncedd June 14th release date, pretty much everything here is standard.

Watch these dudes pull off amazing stunts with some Fiat 500C Abarths

These dudes are perfect, which, we surmise, is why their YouTube channel is called Dude Perfect. But we digress. In their latest video, Dude Perfect performs some amazing trick shots with footballs, basketballs and baseballs, along with a trio of Fiat 500C Abarth convertibles. It's perfect, dude.
Joining the dudes this week are stunt drivers Roger Richman and Samuel Hubinette from LA Motorsports, and some of their coolest tricks wouldn't be possible without some equally precise driving. Looks like they had a total blast, but remember, these guys are professionals and performed their tricks on a closed course. In other words...

2014 Audi SQ5 priced from $51,900* (video)

Despite the fact that the 2014 Audi SQ5 you see here is quite a bit different than the one offered in Europe, we're still plenty glad that the folks from Ingolstadt have decided to offer a hotted-up version of its compact Q5 crossover here in the States. Now, Audi has announced that its US-spec SQ5 will be priced from $51,900 when it hits dealerships later this summer (*not including $895 for destination). That strikes us as a pretty favorable price – while the base Q5 in 2.0-liter TFSI trim starts at $35,900, the 3.0-liter Prestige model commands a full $51,400, and somehow manages to feel worth it.
