Verizon to 'Unleash' $50 unlimited prepaid plan this week
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
In an effort to edge in on MetroPCS and Sprint-owned Boost and Virgin Mobile, Verizon Wireless will introduce a brand new $50 monthly prepaid this week that includes unlimited text, talk and web, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. The new plan, which first launched back in April as “Unleashed” in limited markets, will be available to customers in Verizon stores, Walmart, Target and Best Buy.

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.

Verizon offer up early upgrades, in preparation for new phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
We have good news if you’re a Verizon subscriber. Verizon is offering an early upgrade to many of its customers, giving subscribers a chance to take advantage of the beastly phones slated for this fall. The carrier began sending e-mails to customers to alert them to the change, according to Mobiledia. So, if you’re a Verizon customer eligible for a new phone in September, an early upgrade would be at your disposal, and Big Red is also rewarding others who would have had to wait until May 2012. Not bad if you want to sign your life away for another two years, right?
If you’ve upgraded a phone before, then you know most carriers allow for subscribers to become eligible for an upgrade every 20 ...

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 Wireless exclusively launching Samsung DROID Prime in October
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungVerizon Wireless
BGR has exclusively learned from a close source of ours that Verizon Wireless has passed on offering the Samsung GALAXY S II in favor of something even better. We reported last week that Verizon isn’t going to sell the GALAXY S II, and we have now been told why. Apparently, “Verizon doesn’t think the Samsung GALAXY S II will be competitive with the iPhone 5 when it launches.” Instead, not only is Verizon launching the Samsung DROID Prime, a device that is sure to be the new flagship Android phone ahead of the holidays, but the company will have the handset as an exclusive. The DROID Prime is expected to be the first smartphone to launch with Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich,” and we have been...

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...
