Android-Powered HTC Desire Coming to Verizon?
The HTC Desire 6200 has shown up in Verizon’s inventory system, hinting that it has something to do with Google, which is presumably Android, and likely the “with Google” experience, which means no Exchange support, or the fancy new Sense UI we’ve seen in the Hero, but it will have an uncensored Market and over-the-air…
Leaked: Release Dates for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550)
Last we heard, the BlackBerry Storm 2 was hitting Verizon in October. That’s really all we have had to go on.

Verizon Wireless’ ‘enhanced multimedia phones’ to require new data plans?
If there’s one thing Verizon Wireless likes more than getting “accidental” revenue from feature-phone users cluelessly firing up their web browsers, it’s getting revenue on wireless data plans.
