Verizon considering BlackBerry on prepaid plans?
The latest rumor on Verizon is that a prepaid BlackBerry data service plan is set to be offered within the next three months. We don’t have specifics just yet, but the plan is expected to be $35 on top of your regular voice plan and we don’t expect many BlackBerry variants to be made available at this deal.
HTC Droid Eris gets the smallest update ever
The HTC Droid Eris has come out with one of the smallest updates ever; it is designed to fix just one bug. ROM version 1.17.605.1 is making its way to you via the phone’s over-the-air update mechanism, fixing an intermittent bad signal indicator when bringing it out of standby.
Fastest 3G Network Confirmed by AT&T in Twelve Cities
You know Verizon commercials that talk about how they have a map for that? You know how Verizon says that it has far better 3G coverage than AT&T? That may be true, but it seems that AT&T still has a huge claim to fame and this claim has been unofficially confirmed by the guys at [...]
New Windows Mobile, Android, Palm Pre Smartphones Coming to Verizon
It sounds like Verizon Wireless is poised to make a major run at the market early next year. Everyone is already pretty excited about the Motorola Droid that launched a short while ago, but there are rumblings of at least three new smartphones that’ll be hitting the shelves of Big Red in the very early [...]
HTC Passion: Verizon’s Take on HTC HD2 with Android
The HTC Touch HD2 sounds like quite the exciting smartphone with its massive touchscreen display, super snappy (no pun intended) processor, and other hardware features that can’t be beat. However, some people may not like the whole Windows Mobile thing going on. Well, it seems that Verizon could soon be offering the best of both [...]
HTC Imagio with WM 6.5 to Hit Verizon October 6th
If you’re growing a littel weary with the number of Windows Mobile 6.1 phones on the market, next month could be a huge cause for celebration. Windows Mobile 6.5 is set to hit the stage at that time and one of the first handsets to officially tout the updated operating system is the HTC Imagio, [...]
Verizon: Non-Smartphones Forced into Data Plans Too
We’ve seen quite a few wireless carriers institute policies wherein new activated smartphones are required to sign up for some sort of wireless data plan too. This makes sense, I suppose, for the iPhones and BlackBerry devices of the world. Verizon is taking this concept several steps further by forcing non-smartphones to get data plans [...]
Vogue and Intensity Coming to Verizon in Two Weeks
This isn’t exactly the same thing as getting your hands on an iPhone or an Android phone, but it does mean that you’ll soon be given at least a couple more options when it comes to slick handsets through Old Red. Word on the street is that the Samsung Rogue will be making its official [...]
More Sub-$99 Smartphones from Verizon Point to New Hotness
While there are some signs that the economy might be turning itself around, many people are still struggling with the current financial situation. Verizon is apparently offering some recession relief by dropping the price on “almost all existing smartphones” to under $99. That sounds like a deal to me.
If you’re looking to save a few [...]
Verizon Getting Android Via Motorola Sholes/Shules?
You know how Motorola is hurting? You know how Verizon is seriously lacking in the Google Android department? It seems that both of these concerns will soon be addressed with the upcoming Motorola Sholes smartphone.
That’s a very unfortunate codename (let’s hope it’s “just” a codename), since it’s only a couple of letters away from a [...]
