Remember the original 7 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab? Verizon has given new blood to the ol' boy with a firmware update that gives the device a Gingerbread transfusion. The tablet was launched with Froyo installed and the update from Verizon adds some new features as well as Gingerbread functionality.

Gingerbread update for Verizon's LG Revolution is being pushed out as we speak
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsLGVerizon WirelessGoogleAndroid 2.3Revolution
Sure it might have been the least favorable of the initial three 4G LTE smartphone offerings from Verizon Wireless, but in any event, the LG Revolution is finally packing its Froyo bags and moving right up to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Naturally, the wait was a lengthy one for handset owners, but it’s nonetheless ever so sweet for them.
Bringing up its software version to VS910ZV7, the update brings forth the entire usual suspect of features commonly associated with the sweet tasting snack. Beyond that, it packs along a few things that enhance both the email and messaging experience. And of course, it’s packing some other enhancements and bug fixes to fine tune the overall experience for users...

LG Revolution 2 could be coming to Verizon as the LG Spectrum
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGVerizon WirelessSpectrum
So what has become of the LG Revolution 2? Popping up only three months after the launch of the first-gen model, the Revolution 2 was rumored to offer a 4.5 inch screen; the device quickly dropped out of the public eye and has been unheard from since. Now, a couple of screenshots show a device called the LG Spectrum in Verizon's computer system.
While there is no smoking gun link to the LG Revolution, note how the LG Spectrum is listed right under the former handset on the first screenshot. Like the LG Revolution, the LG Spectrum is an LTE enabled device and adds global functionality. As far as a launch date and pricing is concerned, we honestly have a paucity of information about this dev...

Verizon runs HTC Rezound ads early, confirms Beats audio
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessRezound
Verizon on Sunday spoiled HTC's November 3 event by posting ads for the Rezound. While they don't show more than a product shot, they do confirm the Beats Audio connection, including the signature red-corded headphones and red light-up navigation keys. The ads hint the phone might be ready to go soon after the event.
The Rezound, sometimes known as the Vigor, is expected to be HTC's most advanced US phone. It will be a slight spin on the Raider, already available in Canada, and revolve around a very sharp 4.5-inch, 720x1280 screen. A dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor and LTE-based 4G will also put it at the high end, although Verizon's model will logically use CDMA for voice instead of t...

Motorola XOOM 2 appears in Verizon system with LTE
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaVerizon WirelessXOOM 2
It appears as though Motorola doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice as a screenshot of the Verizon inventory system shows the unannounced XOOM 2 tablet with 4G LTE connectivity built-in and internal memory capacities up to 64GB.
The original Motorola XOOM only had access to Verizon’s 3G network and was sold with the promise that users could send it in to Motorola in the future to upgrade the device. This hardware upgrade was to make it compatible with LTE. However it took much longer than many owners would’ve liked. When the LTE upgrade was finally made available, the XOOM was already heading towards obsolete status.
Shipping the original XOOM without LTE out of the box was a mistake...

Does Verizon have exclusivity over the Samsung GALAXY Nexus?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Nexus
Ever since the early days of the device, when it was thought to be called the DROID Prime, there was talk that Verizon would have some sort of exclusivity period with the Samsung GALAXY Nexus. No one knew for how long this exclusive period might last. In fact, a recent sign-up page posted online by Samsung asks those filing out the form to select from one of seven carriers including T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Cellular South, U.S. Cellular and MetroPCS. So when a banner ad reads "Exclusively from Verizon GALAXY Nexus", confusion reigns.
A GSM version of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus does exist. This could point to a short exclusivity period for Verizon in the U.S, or perhaps the carrier will...

Verizon exceeds target, covers 186 million with 4G LTE network
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
Today Verizon Wireless announced that its fourth generation LTE network now covers 186 million Americans, thanks to the 22 markets that were added last week. This beats the company's self-imposed target of 185 million people covered with Verizon 4G by the end of 2011. Considering that 13 additional cities are set to go live on November 17, Verizon seems positioned to not only meet that target, but blast right on by it. The addition of those 13 markets should bring Verizon's 4G LTE network to a total of 178 million people, and the company is hinting that even more markets could be added in December.

Samsung Stratosphere, Motorola Droid RAZR to be first Verizon LTE phones with Micro SIMs?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaVerizon WirelessStratosphereDROID RAZR
Looks like Verizon's got a hardware-crush on teensy 3FF Micro SIMs. The carrier's two latest 4G handsets, Samsung's Stratosphere and Motorola's Droid RAZR, both appear to make do with the diminutive cards. Neither, however, would be the first, as that honor was bestowed upon the carrier's version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you're eager to call one of these devices your own, but already sport Big Red's LTE service, then get set to bust out the scissors for a little SIM card arts and crafts. Further pictorial proof of these itsy, bitsy modules awaits you at the source.

Verizon and HTC say Gingerbread update for HTC ThunderBolt coming soon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessThunderBolt
ack in late September, Verizon sent out an Android 2.3 update for owners of the HTC ThunderBolt. This took place after various rumors missed the mark on when Verizon's first LTE enabled phone would start running on Gingerbread. Whether or not there was a rush to get the software ready for the handset, some estimated that the update that started late last month was only 90% ready. As a result, HTC ThunderBolt users started experiencing problems after the new software was installed.
Some of the problems included erroneous email notifications and problems with the camera locking. Other issues were found with the clock app, Google Talk and HTC's Sense UI. But it looks like things are about to ge...

Verizon wants to know where you go, what you look at, that's all
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
Verizon's got a couple of loose ends to tie up. It's nothing important, you understand, just a tweak to its privacy policy that will allow the carrier to monitor your physical movements and browsing activities. It actually did much the same thing back in 2007 to monitor phone calls. The aim, of course, is to tailor ads to your interests, while also gathering information about your habits that it can sell on to others in the form of "business and marketing reports." Oh, one more thing: VZW promises not to share any information about you "personally" and it also gives you the option to opt out. (Opt out.)
