Motorola Entice for Verizon doesn’t appeal to us
But, then again, we’re not in the market for a low-end mobile phone. For those of you who are, Verizon’s online storefront has the Motorola Entice W766 available for just $39.99 when purchased with a 2-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate (and right on time). If you’re not looking for much more than…
Verizon’s Omnia II Gets Makeover
We were hearing that Verizon would be getting the next Samsung Omnia sometime in July, but with the date come and gone, it’s obviously been delayed. How come? Apparently the Omnia II I8000 got a little facelift before launch. The new d-pad reminds me a bit of the B3410 and does a good job of…
Sprint to launch first 4G WiMAX Android smartphone in 2010?
Android smartphones are gaining traction. T-Mobile USA will soon launch the Motorola CLIQ and is already home to two distinct Android handsets – the T-Mobile G1 and T-Mobile myTouch3G.

Verizon, Sprint: BlackBerry Tour Trackball is Fine
Yesterday a report went out that carriers were experiencing return rates on the BlackBerry Tour approaching 50% due to the trackball malfunctioning, but Verizon and Sprint have today both denied the figure; Verizon even went so far to say that the BlackBerry 9630 has a lower-than-average return rate. I’d really like to believe that those…

October 6th. is the big day for Windows Mobile 6.5. We had heard that Verizon, AT&T and Sprint would be on board for the update, but had heard little in regards to what devices specifically they would be offering (although manufacturers have been happy to throw in their support). Luckily, we’re hearing the Imagio (model…

Motorola Entice W766 officially confirmed for September 22nd landing on Verizon
Yap, we knew this is coming, but there’s not much excitement in the air about it. I’m talking about a low-end-ish Motorola Entice W766, which we’ve seen leaked two weeks ago. The entry-level clamshell comes with a 2.2-inch 176×220 pixels internal screen, GPS (support for VZ Navigator), Bluetooth, 2-megapixel camera, music player, and a microSD…
Verizon Launches Touch Pro2: $199.99 on Contract
After much ado, Verizon has officially announced the HTC Touch Pro 2. Worried about the price? You should be, considering what T-Mobile and Sprint for it earlier this summer. Well, you’re in luck, because Verizon’s TP2 will be running for a rather reasonable $199.99 after a 2-year contract and mail-in rebate. If you haven’t seen…
Nokia 7705 Twist for Verizon: QWERTY, 3 megapixel camera, $100 after 2 year contract
The Nokia 7705 is finally official, after numerous leaks, and even a clone produced by the Chinese. For $150 ($50 mail in rebate) and a 2 year contract you get a 2.71 inch x 2.71 inch x 0.59 inch phone that weighs 3.44 ounces and has a 2.5 mm headphone jack that makes it useless…
