Has there ever been a phone that has gathered so much media attention simply for its color? Here we go with the white iPhone 4 all over again. There have been numerous reports that the mystical ivory device is popping up in inventory systems everywhere. Does this mean it’s really coming soon? While the reasons…
We caught our first real glimpse of the HTC Thunderbolt at CES 2011, and we were pretty impressed with the handset. It’s the typical HTC design: soft edges, thin, soft-touch coating and sleek design. It’s very EVO-esque and features a kick-stand behind the phone to prop it up for watching videos. Additionally, it will come…
Near Field Communication, or NFC, is expected to really take off in 2011, and rumor has it that the next iterations of the iPad and iPhone will accommodate NFC technology. The technology has recently been included in the Google Nexus S, but we’ve yet to see it in real action or in newer handsets. NFC…

If this turns out to be true, could Best Buy really be holding on to these things until March, which has been the rumored launch date for sometime now? Best…

You’d have something that looks even sexier than before. Well, good news, Nexus S fans may soon have the option to…
Leaked documentation from Verizon Wireless suggests the wireless carrier is once again updating its data plans for both feature phones and smartphones. The changes will hit casual smartphone users the hardest as Verizon is apparently removing the cheaper $15 option that provides 150 MB of data. Verizon is going back to its original data pricing…
Oh, look – some logos. It’s for the HTC Arrive and the Kyocera Echo, both said to be heading to Sprint. No, no handset details. Sorry, no images, either. Just logos. At least they’re pretty, right? The HTC Arrive is said to be a Windows Phone 7 handset, which would make it one of the…
