Verizon adding 21 new LTE markets on October 20
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesVerizon Wireless
Verizon’s 4G LTE network continues to expand at breakneck speeds with the carrier announcing today that it will be lighting up at least another 21 new LTE markets on October 20. The carrier had just launched 26 new markets on September 15. At this rate, it should be a breeze to reach its goal of 175 markets by year-end.
It’s reported that there will be at least 21 markets in this next roll-out, but once again Verizon is slowly trickling out the news releases for each area, so we’ll have to update the list as we get more information. But so far, the new markets include Sioux City, Iowa; Santa Fe and Alberquerque, New Mexico; Metro Birmingham, Alabama; Bloomington, Bedford, Evansville, and Ter...

HTC Rhyme official: 3G, 3.7-inch display, single-core CPU, headed to Verizon for $199 on contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessRhyme
Well, well. Looks like those leaked press shots (and hands-on photos and video walk-through) were on the money. HTC just officially announced the Rhyme -- that womanly handset otherwise known as the Bliss. As it happens, HTC isn't explicitly marketing this as a lady phone, though it bears all the markers of a device pandering toward those of us with XX chromosomes. Which is to say, it's petite and purple with middling specs. What you're looking at is a handset with a 3.7-inch WVGA display, a single-core 1GHz Qualcomm CPU, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage space, a non-removable battery, microSD expansion slot, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS radios and dual 5MP / VGA cameras. The phone runs Andr...

HTC Vigor hits the FCC with a dose of Verizon LTE
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCVerizon WirelessRezound
Verizon's LTE lineup just keeps looking better and better all the time. The oft-rumored HTC Vigor is the latest device to pass through the halls of the FCC whilst sporting Big Red's 4G frequencies, along with a handy dose of CDMA / EVDO. HTC's still keeping an uber-tight lid on all of the details of this phone, however, mandating that all of the juicy secrets remain confidential for now. The Vigor's rumored to have a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, but we're still in the dark despite the phone's fancy new badge of approval. We're just another baby step closer, folks, so feel free to peruse the numbers and graphs in the source link.

DROID Prime is Nexus Prime for Verizon?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesVerizon WirelessGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Ever since we first caught word of the Nexus Prime, we’ve been waiting eagerly to catch word or hints from Samsung. The next in line of the Nexus phones would be the first to feature Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich,” and a Super AMOLED Plus display. We’re now hearing that the Nexus Prime may actually be the DROID Prime, which would make it exclusively for Verizon.
We already knew that Verizon was passing up on the Galaxy S II, and we figured that the carrier was holding out for some more impressive version of the Galaxy S II, or GS2, but it looks like something sweeter is on the way. But because the DROID Bionic is coming September 8, it might be a while – maybe December or January – until w...

Verizon passes on GALAXY S II, but "similar" Samsung phone launching soon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGalaxy S II
Verizon Wireless is passing on the Galaxy S II smartphone according to a report in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday. BGR has confirmed with multiple trusted sources that this is accurate — Samsung will not unveil a Verizon-branded GALAXY S II smartphone next week at its New York City launch event on August 29th. Instead, Samsung will take the wraps off of GALAXY S II handsets that will soon launch on T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T. We’re told two of those carriers will maintain the “GALAXY S II” branding but one may offer a unique name for the handset. BGR has also confirmed, however, that Verizon Wireless will soon launch a Samsung device with very similar specifications — as in, nearly ident...

Verizon Android share dropped substantially following iPhone 4 launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleVerizon WirelessiPhone 4
Verizon Wireless’ share of the U.S. Android market was down again in August, sinking to its lowest point since the carrier’s launch of the iPhone 4 this past March. The nation’s top carrier played a large role in popularizing Google’s mobile OS thanks to a massive $100 million marketing campaign focused on the Motorola DROID, but Apple’s smartphone has shifted demand among its subscribers. According to market research firm Chitka Insights, Verizon Wireless’ share of the Android smartphone market in the U.S. stood at 51.42% in March, the month after Apple’s CDMA iPhone 4 finally launched.

June had a special place in the hearts and calendars of Apple fans until this year when Cupertino broke some hearts by not announcing a new iPhone in accordance with its usual yearly routine. But Verizon and its chief financial officer were also disappointed:
"Obviously we're disappointed that the iPhone 5 didn't come out in June … we continue to prepare for it and when that comes we'll be ready," Fran Shammo shared his thoughts on a webcast this week.
