Droid Incredbile 4G LTE signage arrives at some Verizon Wireless stores

Droid Incredbile 4G LTE signage arrives at some Verizon Wireless stores

Posted on Jun 12, 2012 by MG1

The Droid Incredible was announced earlier this year by Verizon Wireless without a solid launch date. Rumors point to a June 21st launch, but there has been no solid information supporting this estimated launch date until now. According to Droid-Life, select Verizon Wireless stores received marketing materials for the next generation Incredible handset over the weekend. This doesn’t confirm the launch date, but its timing would fit in perfectly with a mid-June launch.

Dropbox confirms Galaxy S III on AT&T and Verizon won't include 50GB storage

Dropbox confirms Galaxy S III on AT&T and Verizon won't include 50GB storage

Posted on Jun 11, 2012 by MG1

If that extra Dropbox storage helped swing the Galaxy S III pendulum in your favor, and you're a customer of AT&T or Verizon, it's not good news. Droid Life reports that one such expectant customer was asking Dropbox, via its forums, where their storage was. The cloud-space provider informed them that not all carriers are offering the deal, with those two big hitters being among them. This is further confirmed elsewhere on its support pages (check the source). So, just as we thought operators were loosening their grip, it seems some old habits don't die so easily.

Samsung Galaxy S III coming to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular this month

Samsung Galaxy S III coming to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular this month

Posted on Jun 04, 2012 by MG1

Official is as official does... right? In a bid to one-up the Galaxy S II's launch here in the States, Samsung has just announced that five carriers will soon have their own customized versions of the Galaxy S III. And by "soon," we mean "beginning in June." AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and US Cellular are all in line to take part, with exact pricing and availability to be announced by each of the five carriers in the coming weeks. We are, however, told to expect on-contract prices as low as $199, and it sounds as if all five variants will keep the same 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display.

And the Verizon Galaxy Nexus OTA is now actually rolling out

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

We reported two days ago that Verizon had finally made the Android 4.0.4 update official on its website, and now, perhaps 5 months after many people were expecting and update, the OTA is getting pushed out to actual phones owned by real flesh and blood people. Of course owners of the GSM version are already rocking 4.0.4, even the Sprint version (which is actually identical save for different branding and the presence of Google Wallet) have enjoyed the update for a month.

Verizon to offer a $50 rebate with the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

A short time ago we informed you that the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE has been spotted on the Verizon TestMan site, which often means the device is close to being released. What isn't known for sure is the price, as TestMan has it listed at $299, but most speculated that it would be in the sub-$200 price range once it is released.

The update is approximately 18MB and can be downloaded and installed through the Droid 4's settings menu.

Samsung releases list of U.S. smartphones, tablets to get Android 4.0 ICS upgrades

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 by MG3

Samsung has posted a list of the smartphones and tablets available in the U.S. that it plans to upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at some point this year. Most of the phones on the list have already been promised upgrades to Android 4.0 by their carriers, but it never hurts to have further confirmation from the manufacturer. Still missing from the upgrade list? Any variant of the original Galaxy S, though, that's not entirely unexpected.

DROID Incredible 4G LTE appears on Verizon site

DROID Incredible 4G LTE appears on Verizon site

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 by MG3

The HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE has been outed on Verizon’s “Droid Does” website. The new Incredible is equipped with a 4-inch qHD Super LCD display, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD slot and an 8-megapixel rear camera — possibly the same one found on HTC’s One-series smartphones. The handset also runs HTC’s latest Sense 4.0 skin atop Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. In line with Verizon’s other 4G LTE smartphones, the latest Incredible will seemingly be offered for $299.99 alongside a new two-year agreement. The DROID Incredible 4G LTE has since been removed from Verizon’s site and there is no word from Verizon regarding a release date.

Nokia Windows Phone 8 handsets showing up on T-Mobile, Verizon

Nokia Windows Phone 8 handsets showing up on T-Mobile, Verizon

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

Moving away from the hubbub about Windows Phone 8 upgrades, we now also have increasing evidence of actual new Windows Phone 8 hardware being tested in the wild.
The latest is via DSLReport’s mobile speed test, which shows the user agent of two Windows Phone 8 handsets, one named Qualcomm Fluid and the other Nokia Fluid. Both of course have been spotted before, but now the full user agent confirms that these are Windows Phone 8 handsets running IE10.
The Verizon handset also seems pretty snappy, likely indicating LTE on board. The same can unfortunately not be said for the T-Mobile speed test.

Users should get a notification on their handsets when the update is ready to be downloaded and installed.

Verizon to launch only 4G LTE smartphones from here on out, hints at LTE iPhone

Verizon rolls out bug fix update for original Motorola Droid X

Verizon rolls out bug fix update for original Motorola Droid X

Posted on Feb 27, 2012 by MG3

Even though the original Motorola Droid X is nearly two years old, Verizon hasn't forgotten about the owners of this once-mighty smartphone. Verizon has begun rolling out a 15MB over-the-air software update — it's not an Ice Cream Sandwich update, but there are a lot of bug fixes for users who might find their phones to be a little flaky. Most noteworthy is the quashing of a bug that apparently powers your phone on without "user interaction" — an odd issue that appears to be a problem with more than one of Motorola's phones.
