Verizon's Droid Bionic drops to $99, loses bundled microSD card
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID BIONIC
Last month, Verizon dropped the price on the Droid RAZR while removing the bundled 16GB microSD card and now it's doing the same thing with Motorola's Droid Bionic. The handset will be available for $99.99 on contract (down from $299.99 when we reviewed it in September) and features 16GB of internal storage, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 4.3-inch qHD display. We liked the Droid Bionic, but Verizon subscribers might also want to take a look at the 8GB iPhone 4 and theSamsung Stratosphere (for the hardware keyboard people out there) at the same price point before taking the plunge.

Motorola DROID 4 vs DROID RAZR MAXX vs entire Verizon Android lineup
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID 4DROID RAZR MAXX
If you head to a Verizon Wireless store today looking to purchase an Android smartphone, you’re very likely going to be inundated by offers to purchase Verizon’s own unique DROID line. I’m here to tell you that the current top choices for these Motorola-made smartphones aren’t necessarily your best choice for Android or 4G-laden devices – in fact they’re not even really your best choice for Motorola-made devices on Verizon. Instead, have a quick glance at some comparisons to some lesser-advertised devices sitting right next to these hero phones to gain a better understanding of what Verizon really has to offer.

Verizon Tempts Employees With Limited Edition Droid RAZRs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID RAZR
A life spent caught up in the drudgery of retail is usually pretty free of frills, but Verizon Wireless employees may soon be getting a shot at some swanky hardware if some newly-leaked images hold true. According to Android And Me, Verizon has reached out to their employees with an offer they may not be able to refuse: limited edition Droid RAZRs and Droid RAZR MAXXs.
And what’s so limited about these edition then? The employee-only Droid RAZR sports a red and black finish on its backside rather than the monochrome stylings of its more mundane brethren, along with the device’s number within the production run.

Verizon Wireless to Bring Back Double Data 4G LTE Promotion
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesVerizon Wireless
Thinking about signing up with Verizon Wireless? If so, you may want to hold off a few days before inking a two-year service agreement with Big Red. Word on the Web is that Verizon is resurrecting its double data promotion for 4G LTE smartphones, which means instead of being allotted a rather snug 2GB data cap for $30/month, you'd be given room to breathe in a 4GB cap for the same monthly fee.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID RAZR
With Valentine's Day coming next Tuesday, you want to get your significant other a brand new Motorola DROID RAZR.

Android 4.0.4 ROM leaks for Verizon's Galaxy Nexus
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungVerizon WirelessGoogleGALAXY NexusAndroid 4.0
A little gem known as Android 4.0.4 wriggled its way onto the interweb last week, and while it was geared specifically for Sprint's Nexus S 4G, a similar version has just cropped up for the CDMA / LTE Galaxy Nexus from Verizon. While it's only available for tenacious users who've unlocked their bootloader, it seems that a host of improvements are on deck for the official release. First and foremost, the ROM is said to be noticeably faster, with the speed gains also extending to the web browser and the device's boot time. The release also packs a new radio file that (at least from user impressions) offers more seamless transitions between the CDMA and LTE networks. All in all, the rest of the...

Verizon sold 15M Android phones, nearly 11M iPhones in 2011
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesVerizon Wireless
Verizon announced during its earnings call today that 15 million Android phones were activated and nearly 11 million iPhones were sold. This news comes after the largest wireless carrier in the United States activated a record of over 4 million iPhones in the fourth quarter.
Apparently these numbers weren’t too impressive as investors punished the company’s stock because costs associated with offering the iOS handset weighed heavily on Big Red’s earnings. Verizon pays a subsidy for iPhone ending up around $400, but the company makes that money back from consumers signing into a two-year contract. This is standard practice for all cell phone providers, as they give customers a “discounted” pr...

Verizon's Droid RAZR gets violet coat of paint, price tumbles to $200 on contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID RAZR
Motorola has already unveiled the RAZR's bigger, battery-savvy brother, the Maxx, but it's not yet done with the original kevlar-skinned smartphone. Yes, the RAZR will get a color palette refresh for the new year, with Verizon readying a metallic purple edition for just under $200 -- that's a hundred bucks less than what Big Red hopes you'll lay down for the newer Maxx. Like its white and black siblings, it will shed the 16GB SD card that arrived with the first issue RAZR, leaving 16GB of built-in storage. You'll be able to ogle at that puce wafer-thin profile when it arrives on January 23rd. Verizon's self-congratulatory fanfare is after the break.

LG Spectrum now available on Verizon for $199
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGVerizon WirelessSpectrum
The LG Spectrum is now available from Verizon Wireless for about $200 with a new two-year contract and the latest 4G LTE smartphone packs quite the punch with a beautiful HD screen.
The device isn’t dramatically different from the LG Nitro we saw earlier but the Spectrum is for Verizon Wireless and it will be a 4G LTE handset. We can also look forward to a 4.5 True HD IPS display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera on the rear, 1.3 megapixel camera and all the other connectivity goodies you’d expect from a smartphone like this.
While we’ve seen multiple phones with a 720p screen, the True HD IPS display is quite a sight to behold and I found LG’s HD screens to be some of the best...

Samsung Galaxy Note is coming to Verizon as the Galaxy Journal?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Note
Arguably, one can say that Verizon managed to do right by forgetting about the Samsung Galaxy S II, seeing that they eventually brought along the Samsung Galaxy Nexus before anyone else. Even though the exclusivity is short lived because Sprint is bound to start selling its own version soon, it simply goes to show how Verizon is willing to go above and beyond its rivals to get the best devices onto its lineup.
Well folks, it seems that we’ll be seeing that same mentality because the rumors point to the possibility of Big Red getting its own version of the ridiculously large smartphone in the Samsung GALAXY Note – yeah, the same one coming to AT&T officially. According to the rumors spewing ...

Verizon to stop allowing legacy Alltel devices to be activated on its network, starting today
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesVerizon WirelessAlltel
It's been three years and two days since Verizon officially closed its acquisition of Alltel, and it looks like Big Red's finally putting the sledgehammer down on activating legacy devices from the purchased network. We just received official word from a Verizon spokesperson that effective today, the carrier will no longer allow you to bring over an Alltel device to a retail outlet and get it activated on their network. If you're currently using an Alltel-branded phone on Verizon, don't panic: this new policy change only applies to handsets that haven't already been activated. We can't imagine this will affect too many users at this point, but we imagine Chad's still feeling a little bummed ...

Verizon says (almost) 'all' future phones and tablets will be LTE
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsVerizon Wireless
In case you hadn't noticed, Verizon is going all in on LTE. And that doesn't just mean investing heavily in its network and snatching up spectrum left and right -- it also means making the 4G tech a "hard requirement" for all future devices. Outside of a few exceptions, primarily limited to its push-to-talk offerings, all upcoming phones, tablets and mobile hotspots will boast an LTE radio. Verizon's associate director of device marketing, Keith Lampron, assured CNET that the company isn't going to turn into an iPhone and Android only outlet -- Windows Phone and BlackBerry offerings are welcome to join Big Red, so long as they hop on the 700MHz train.

Verizon launches BlackBerry Curve 9370
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryVerizon WirelessCurve 9370
If all the Windows Phone and Android news isn't really striking your fancy and iPhones hold no appeal then, perhaps, your interest will be piqued by the BlackBerry Curve 9370 which was just announced. Verizon unveiled the latest budget-friendly RIM device for CES and it doesn't depart too much from the QWERTY, candybar mold. In addition to CDMA radios it's also got GSM for globetrotters and NFC for those that want to hop on the next wave of mobile payment tech. Around the back is a 5-megapixel camera, probably not capable of shooting 1080p. The 9370 will run you $99 with a two year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. And, most importantly, it'll be upgradeable to BlackBerry OS 7.1 -- the mo...
