Verizon and AT&T to offer Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition
Verizon Wireless and AT&T will soon start selling the Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition. Both versions of the device have been caught at Sammy’s website (links: here and here) and now it seems all about proper timing. As far as we’ve understood, this isn’t the same phone as the Galaxy S4 Google Edition and it will still come with Sammy’s own software running on top of Android core. Sure enough, you’ll get unlocked bootloader with the ability to tweak everything the way you please. The downside(s)? 1) You’ll only be … Read more

KDDI’s HTC One variant rocks a microSD memory card slot
So, the Chinese won’t be the only one getting the HTC One variant with a microSD card slot. Japan’s KDDI announced a similar device calling it HTC J One (model number HTL22) that also comes with support for microSD cards (of up to 64GB). Rest of the phone’s hardware is pretty much unchanged though we guess there are some tweaks here in there to accommodate for the ever-demanding Japanese mobile market. For instance, there’s the Infrared port on the HTC J One, since that thing is apparently a nice-to-have feature … Read more

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 Available On Amazon For $179

And after today’s “big announcement” from Verizon, customers of the carrier need a little cheering up. Here’s some news that should take that bad taste out of Verizon customer’s mouths; the Galaxy S4 is available on Amazon for the low price of $179 with … Read more

Verizon 4G LTE Now Available in Over 497 Markets, 95% of 3G Network
Verizon’s CTIA event was dominated by J Lo and the big announcement of the new, Latino focused Viva Movil Network. But they did drop an interesting tidbit early on. COO Marni Walden announced that Verizon’s 4G LTE network now covers 497 markets, which is 95% of its 3G network. Verizon’s stated goal is to cover 100% of its 3G network with 4G by the end of 2013, but the company’s on track to finish well before that. Full disclosure: I have Verizon and I’m (finally!) getting a 4G phone, so I’m … Read more

CTIA 2013: Verizon Partners with J-Lo to Launch Viva Movil
Today Verizon announced a new partnership with J-Lo to announce Viva Movil – A phone retailer offered specifically to the Latino population. With the Latino population growing faster than ever, it certainly doesn’t come as much of a surprise to see a partnership like this form. While we think it’s a smart partnership, this is hardly the announcement that we were expecting to see come from Verizon this CTIA. At best, we were hoping to see a Voice Over LTE announcement or something to that extent and what we got … Read more
