Today is 11/11/11 – or in Europe 11/11/11 – and Verizon and Motorola are releasing the cool looking ultra-thin Droid RAZR Android smartphone – at 11:11:11, naturally. Never one to be left out of a chance to overuse a gimmick, Amazon Wireless is getting in on the fun, offering the Droid RAZR for … yep, $111.11! [...]

Verizon Gets All the Cool New Android Phones, Including the Beats Audio Integrated HTC Rezound
If HTC and Beats Audio have their way, we aren’t going to be able to immediately dismiss the headphones that come with mobile phones as being anemic or lame for much longer. Today HTC announced the first and only phone in the U.S. with integrated Beats Audio™, the HTC Rezound. The HTC Rezound is a [...]
Facetones on Verizon
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (partly because I have a tendency to repeat myself, as Sami sometimes points out): Competition is a Good Thing™. I like to see different products offered on different platforms, different versions of tech products, and all the rest. Yeah, sometimes I get a little weary when [...]

HTC Rhyme Introduced with a Family of Integrated Accessories and Sleek Good Looks
I can’t even find it in myself to be annoyed that HTC has introduced a phone that is so obviously aimed at women; if they had just colored it plum and called it good, I would have been livid. But no. The HTC Rhyme is a phone that I would have considered carrying anyway … and the bonus is [...]
Gear Deal: Motorola Droid Bionic 4G Dual-Core Smartphone [Verizon]
It is big. It is bold. It is Bionic! It’s the Motorola Droid Bionic 4G smartphone for Verizon and it is today’s Gear Deal. The Droid Bionic isn’t a smartphone. No, it is a super-smart phone. It has a 1GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3″ qHD (960×540) display, dual-facing cameras with an 8MP rear camera, and [...]
Mobile 4G & LTE, Just a Faster Way to Hit Your Data Cap?
Image courtesy of Droid-Life What drives me nuts about mobile carriers these days is that I truly believe they are using new technology against us. Maybe you think I’m out of my mind, but it’s really easy to see the common trend happening with 3 of the 4 big carriers in the US. As [...]
Win up to $10,000 with Verizon’s 4G LTE Field Tester’s Challenge
Are you an aspiring filmmaker? A smartphone owner? If so, it might be time to get down to business making a 60 – second video for Verizon Wireless’ new Field Tester’s Challenge. The premise is simple: create a unique video short showcasing a field test of Verizon’s 4G LTE network. In other words, [...]
Amazon Slashes Prices on Android Handsets and Adds Additional Incentives
It always pays to shop around, even when buying a carrier-branded phone. Did you know that the same phones you can buy at the Verizon store are available on Amazon — some at greatly reduced savings from the carrier sites? No kidding — on the Verizon site, the HTC Thunderbolt (a phone I truly [...]
Android Device Review: The HTC Verizon ThunderBolt
It’s becoming a problem for me that HTC keeps releasing some of their higher-end phones on Sprint and Verizon; see, I am an AT&T customer. One of my old excuses for why I wouldn’t switch to Verizon was that they were CDMA and therefore didn’t use a SIM card. Not using SIM cards (which are [...]
A Quick Look at the HTC Verizon 4G LTE ThunderBolt
Later today you’ll be able to buy the HTC ThunderBolt from Verizon for $299 with a two-year contract; yesterday I received a review unit, and I have spent much of the day (and evening) getting acquainted with it. The 4.3″ WVGA screen is beautiful, and it’s immediately reminiscent of one of my all-time favorite devices, [...]
One Month Later, Verizon Owns 12% of the iPhone Market
Last month I wrote about a new tracker that shows the comparative data used by the iPhone on Verizon and AT&T and uses that as a comparison for the number of active phones. The initial data set was likely skewed by the ‘new user effect’ of folks over-using their data plan as they signed up [...]
iLuv Releases Verizonified iPhone 4 Cases
One of the things that I enjoy in doing Gear Diary news items is seeing how quickly companies jump on various new products and trends. (I know it probably seems ridiculous to you all, but when I’m in California, I’m a real geek in that I Have No Life™.) For example, when the iPhone first [...]
Verizon Hot Spot Part of iOS 4.2.5: AT&T Could Implement?
Image via Tech Crunch Judie and I have been discussing the Verizon iPhone 4 announcement all afternoon. The pros, cons, new features (there aren’t many), etc. One of the main, if not the only difference, between the Verizon iPhone and the AT&T version is the mobile hot spot feature found on the Verizon version. The [...]
Current iPhone 4 Cases Won’t Fit the Verizon Version?
Image courtesy of Engadget By know you already know Verizon just announced the availability of the iPhone 4 for their CDMA network. Perhaps the biggest WTF moment though came after the hardware of the device was being closely examined. Now it might just be the angle of the picture above but if you look closely [...]
