Verizon flips the switch on 28 new LTE markets, Louisville Sluggers now available with 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
3G wireless is now less a privilege than a right, and and with any luck our 4G networks will be similarly self-evident soon. Verizon is doing its part, flipping the switch on 28 new LTE markets today. This boosts the total number of covered areas to 102. Added highlights include: Colorado Springs, Colorado; Augusta, Georgia; Louisville, Kentucky; and Hilo, Hawaii. Meanwhile, folks in Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Dallas, San Antonio, and Seattle can now roam a little further from city center without losing LTE. The full list is after the break, but if you're feeling lucky just go ahead and enable everything on your handset. We've got our fingers crossed for you.

Verizon Wireless has cut the price of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play to just $99.99 with a new two-year contract. The Xperia Play was announced in February and is the first smartphone to offer access to games from the PlayStation Suite. It runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and packs a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, and a 4-inch 480 x 854 resolution display. It also features a full slide-out gamepad with PSP-style gaming buttons. In our recent review we called the Xperia Play “one of the most enjoyable game-focused smartphones we’ve ever used.”

Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
If you’ve been dying to get in on the Verizon 4G LTE network but haven’t had it in your home town, you’ll be happy to know that Big Red will be bringing this blazing-fast mobile data network to 28 more markets this week.
With devices like the Droid Charge, LG Revolution, HTC Thunderbolt and a variety of hotspots and USB dongles, there are multiple ways to take advantage of the Verizon 4G LTE network. While we’re not in love with how these smartphones perform when it comes to battery life, we are happy to report that 4G LTE is the real deal. I’ve used this to upload pictures and videos from a moving taxi before and it rocks.

Verizon LTE: no roaming, even if you want to
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
Several companies are hopping on the LTE bandwagon, but it's turning out to be more isolating an experience than we hoped. According to PCMag, a Verizon spokesperson confirmed that its fourth-generation broadband network won't be compatible with other carriers in the US. As it turns out, Big Red and AT&T each own a separate block of 700MHz spectrum with only a fraction of overlap, leaving little room for phones on both networks to mingle with one another. There's not much hope for roaming on MetroPCS or LightSquared, either, as their waves of LTE run at 1700MHz and 1500MHz, respectively. This smattering of frequencies means it'll be near impossible to get roam on other companies' 4G networks...

Verizon and AT&T LTE likely to be incompatible
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon WirelessAT&T
Bad news for anyone hoping that the expansion of LTE in America would mean we would finally have more freedom to switch carriers. A new report is saying that it is likely that devices for the Verizon LTE network will be incompatible with the AT&T LTE network because the frequency bands for each network will be different.
Most GSM networks run on the same frequencies, meaning you can simply swap your SIM card in an unlocked device while traveling and be able to have service wherever you go. There are some differences, like the frequency difference between T-Mobile and AT&T, which means devices for either network will be able to use the other's EDGE network, but not the faster 3G network. Sim...

Verizon pushes latest Thunderbolt update: solves reboot issues, kills free mobile hotspot
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessThunderBolt
Don't act like Verizon didn't warn you: for Thunderbolt owners who see an available software update pop up on their phone this evening, they'll be placed squarely between a rock and a towering boulder. Why? On one hand, the Froyo OTA update promises to nix random reboots, improve data connectivity and fix the Bluetooth Discovery Mode pop-up windows. On the other, it adds a helping of bloatware (V CAST Music, V CAST Videos and My Verizon) while also killing the lust-worthy free mobile hotspot feature. Not like the carrier ever said it'd be any different come early July, but it's certainly a case of picking your poison here. If your T-bolt seems to be humming along just fine, we'd probably avo...

LG Cosmos 2 dummy units entering Verizon stores; rumored to launch on July 14
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGVerizon WirelessCosmos 2
The Motorola DROID 3 is up for sale on Verizon's web page with in-store availability expected on July 14, but it seems like there will be one more device that will hit the carrier's shelves on that exact same day. We are talking about the LG Cosmos 2 feature phone, the successor to the LG Cosmos, and its dummy units have reportedly already made it to some of the carrier's outlets.
That is what a tipster of ours shared with us today along with a photo of a LG Cosmos 2 dummy unit. Unfortunately, there is hardly any information available about the handset right now besides the fact that it will pack a 4-row full QWERTY keyboard just like its predecessor did. Its overall dimensions and display s...

Verizon to inform mobile users of usage over text messages
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
July 7 marks the day Verizon will no longer offer new unlimited data plans. The carrier will notify users of how many megabytes they've used up with free text messages at 50, 75, 90, 100 and 110 percent of their monthly data allowance. Subscribers with My Verizon accounts can opt for e-mail warnings instead.
Warnings at the 50 and 75 percent levels can be opted out of totally, but the remaining three cannot. Users also have the option of checking where they are themselves, using the Data Usage widget for Android and BlackBerry handsets, using the online data calculator or entering #DATA onto their handset.

Verizon officially welcomes tiered data plans
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
You might have heard that Verizon is moving from unlimited to tiered data plans and today the plans went live on Big Red. The new monthly caps and prices apply for all phones, but some 4G LTE devices won't be able to make use of the cheapest one:
The overage rates stand at $10 for 1GB of exceeded data on any plan. Those of you on an unlimited data plan remain unaffected by the changes, but new users will have to pick one of the tiered plans. To check data usage, users can just dial #data to get a free text message with information about used data.

Motorola DROID 3 hits Verizon's website, you can get it now for $200
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID 3
Update: The official dedicated DROID 3 page went live confirming a price of $200 for the handset with a 2-year contract, or $460 off contract.
You can get the handset online now, or wait until July 14th when it hits retail stores.

Actually, it's the thinnest full QWERTY smartphone, according to Verizon. In addition, the new handset brags with 27% faster multitasking performance over the DROID 2 Global thanks to its 1GHz dual-core TI OMAP chip. The DROID 3 is a global de...
