Amazon Wireless is offering up yet another great deal, and has the Droid Incredible 2 for only $80 on a new two-year contract with Verizon. If you’re looking for a new, powerful handset on the cheap for Verizon, look no further! It will take Verizon several months before we see the handset reach this price…
Remember that OTA update the HTC Thunderbolt was supposed to receive two days ago? Well, it looks like the update that would be addressing some issues with the handset has been delayed until further notice. We’re still not sure as to why the update has been delayed, but we’re sure Verizon must have some reasoning…
Handsets makers strongly believe in something called segmentation, meaning that they come up with a list of imaginary people who possess certain types of character traits that would make them want one handset in a vendor’s portfolio versus another. In other words, they stereotype, but instead of basing their conclusions on bigotry, they do it…
Verizon Wireless’ VZW PIX is obviously a success for the carrier as they decided to extend the service with the new unlimited offering. Available as a subscription service for $3.99 a month, the newly launched VZW PIX UNLIMITED allows customers to browse and download as many wallpapers as they like (as long as they pay…
The Rdio Android app is coming to the Verizon V Cast app store and the neat thing is that it will come with a carrier billing option. If you haven’t tried the Rdio app, you should know that it gives you access to more than 8.5 million songs on a subscription basis. You can play…

These applications will no longer appear in the Android Market from a handset on either network, and you won’t be able to install them from the Android Market Webstore. The idea…
Verizon recently suffered an outage of their 4G LTE network that lasted a little over 24 hours. Not many people complained about it because there are still a limited number of users even utilizing 4G LTE and frankly Verizon’s 3G is fast enough for most basic web surfing tasks. That didn’t stop T-Mobile from taking…
Novatel has another mobile hotspot that supports 4G technology – the Verizon LTE MiFi. It’s much like the Sprint version we saw a few weeks ago with a few noticeable differences. For starters – and probably the most important thing here – it is much faster. The difference is really like night and day. If…
The HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon is one hot phone. It’s the fastest Android device you can grab today, running on Verizon’s blazing 4G LTE network, and its hardware components are as modern as they come. Perhaps the only downside, and it’s a huge one, is its poor battery life. Cross your fingers that coming updates…
