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...

Nokia Lumia 800 gets two new software updates
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Two software updates are being pushed out to owners of the Nokia Lumia 800. First, there’s a battery related software update that fixes issues that several Lumia 800 units have been experiencing. It’s the second part of a two part software update that Nokia promised they’d roll out back in late November. We’re impressed that Nokia actually managed to stick to their word and release these updates on time. As for the second software update, it’s related to Windows Phone. Microsoft recently announced Windows Phone 7.5 Mango build 8107 and it fixes some issues relating to syncing with Google’s email service, issues with the on screen keyboard disappearing at seemingly random times, and something...

Nokia Lumia 800 receiving second battery update over next two weeks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia's second Lumia 800 battery update is rolling out over the next two weeks, the company revealed today. The Finnish handset maker originally promised a second update to resolve some battery issues on its flagship Windows Phone, identified late last year. Some Lumia 800 owners complained that they were unable to access the full battery capacity of the device, and Nokia confirmed the problem in December after issuing an original software update to address separate charging issues.

Nokia pressured by mobile carriers to cut Lumia prices
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
All the way over the pond in the UK there’s pressure being pushed down on Nokia to lower the price of the Lumia line, specifically the Lumia 710 which launches there in the next few weeks, as its first devices with Windows Phone have, perhaps, not performed as well as they’d liked. This could be seen as the exact opposite of what we’ve seen with Apple and their ultra high command over carriers working with the iPhone since its inception. Nokia has held more than a few discussions with UK operators on what it’ll do with the Lumia 710 as is launches in the market there, this perhaps reflecting what’s happened in the USA.

Whited00r brings latest iOS enhancements to the devices Apple left behind
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone
Not everyone upgrades their handset on a regular basis, and if for whatever reason you've been saddled with the original iPhone or iPod touch for the last several years, you've had to watch as updated hardware revisions brought new iOS enhancements that were simply unavailable to your device. Whited00r, which cobbles together some of the standout features from iOS 4 and iOS 5 — multitasking, folders, background customization, etc. — in an unsanctioned package that seeks to inject new life into Apple's older products. Best of all, the custom firmware can be sideloaded from directly within iTunes without any sort of prior jailbreak.

Casio focus group hints at quad-core 4G phone, more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesCasio
A focus group member claimed Wednesday to have been asked to give feedback on devices revealing at least some of its plans for the near future, most of which were for Verizon. The range-topping device purportedly identified by a Droid-Life reader would be very different than the rugged phones Casio usually ships, carrying a 4.5- or 4.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, a quad-core processor, LTE-based 4G, NFC wireless, and eight-megapixel back and two-megapixel front cameras. It would have a large-capacity 2,000mAh battery and ran the "latest Android," which looked to the reader to be Android 4.0.

Sprint to remove Carrier IQ software from its phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Sprint is no longer using the Carrier IQ software and has decided to remove it from its handsets. Earlier this month, Sprint released an update that removed Carrier IQ from its EVO 3D handset and will eventually roll out a similar update to its other Android phones.
According to Spokeswoman Stephanie Vinage, Sprint has “decided to remove Carrier IQ from all devices through a maintenance release process.” Vinage adds,

Nokia posts details on Nokia Lumia 800 firmware update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
The update will not be delivered to every Lumia 800 simultaneously, but rather will be staggered over the next two weeks through Microsoft’s standard update process. This helps each owner gets the update without any hitches. Around half of owners will get the update in the next seven days, with the remainder over the following seven days.
Your Nokia Lumia smartphone will automatically check for updates from time to time, and you’ll get a message on the phone when it is ready.
As previously, the update will be delivered using the Microsoft Zune software (or Windows Phone 7 Connector if you have a Mac).
Once you’ve received the update message, attach your phone to your computer using the USB c...

DROID RAZR's price drops to $199.99 at Verizon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID RAZR
Now that it has the new DROID RAZR MAXX, it’s only natural Verizon will slash the price of the original DROID RAZR. And that’s exactly what the carrier did, offering the thin-smartphone for $199.99 with a two-year contract.
At the moment, only the black version is available, with the white and purple one set to hit the offering on January 23rd. These two will also cost $199.99.

Leaked Sony 2012 smartphone roadmap reveals potentially birdy, minty flagships
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
Grab a bowl of salt and start pinching, folks. A sales report for Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications India is floating around the internet that's purportedly packing a list of 2012's planned handsets along with suggested pricing. The 11-strong list is in Rupees, and whilst we've reproduced it in full above, it's worth bearing in mind that cellphones in the "developing world" (no offense intended) are often more expensive than the equivalent handset in the US (the 16GB iPhone 4S, for example costs $650 in the US but $882 in India).

LG Viper T565 surfaces: affordable feature phone reminds you of the past
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLG
LG has just announced the LG T565, aka the LG Viper, but it won’t impress you with anything but its price tag - the Viper is a feature phone with a 2.8-inch display with QVGA resolution. The notable thing about the screen is that it supports multi-touch.
Designwise, the Viper doesn’t offer nothing groundbreaking, but is still rather compact and comes with a thin, 0.39-inch (9.8mm) body.

Woz disses iPhone limitations, wishes it was like Android
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsAppleGoogleAndroid
You’ll often hear from people that the iPhone is just better than Android because it’s more polished, beautiful and the app environment is better but the counter to that is that Android gives you more flexibility and power. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak still considers the iPhone the best but even he’ll admit that Google and its partners have surpassed Apple in many aspects.

Nokia Lumia 710 Goes Free at Walmart on Contract

The next time you're out battling the crowd at Wally World stocking up on toilet paper, cereal, and fish bait (hopefully for different purposes and not because of some weird fetish), you may decide to add a Windows Phone 7.5 device to your shopping cart. It's not exactly a tough sell when the mega retailer decides to give one away for free, like it's doing with Nokia's Lumia 710 smartphone.

HTC Starts Scrubbing Carrier IQ From Sprint Phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCSprint
Long before legislation was dominating the headlines, the Carrier IQ controversy raised the hackles of tech geeks and privacy advocates around the world. Even though the software didn’t turn out to be quite as nefarious as was originally reported, carriers and manufacturers still started distancing themselves from the tracking and diagnostic software. Along those lines, HTC is starting to roll out updates designed to scrub Carrier IQ off of its Sprint phones, starting with the HTC EVO 3D.
