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.

Verizon Commands Android Market, AT&T Slowly Gaining
Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon WirelessAT&T
Verizon still commands a huge chunk of the Android market share in the U.S., but it showed some slow decline over the past few months while AT&T picked up a few percentage points. Chitika, the online advertising network, has always been in a unique position to dish out figures like these because of its presence on mobile-optimized websites. It’s not a completely accurate representation of the market, but it’s generally close enough.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
How much is Verizon willing to pay you to switch from a basic phone to a smartphone? A cool $100, according to rumors. The provider is reportedly gearing up to launch a new offer aimed at encouraging more customers to get with the times, as part of its trade-in program. Under the incentive, basic phone users eligible for a two-year upgrade (or those who qualify for an early upgrade) would be able to re-sign a two-year contract, tack on a data plan and purchase a new smartphone at a reduced price. Once that's done, they'll receive a PIN code for Verizon's trade-in site, where they'll find instructions on how to send in their old phones to receive a $100 gift card. A tipster told Phone Arena t...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Verizon Wireless
Who knows anymore if consumers are in complete control of their data plan, well, that’s because we’ve seen carriers of late really push up the ante when it comes to cracking down on illegal tethering. With smartphones permeating across all lifestyles and landscapes, data consumption has exploded at an alarming rate – thus, giving some carriers plenty of headaches in maintaining their infrastructure.
