We reported that Verizon Wireless confirmed this week that they would be leveraging a $2 convenience charge for one-time payments. Ironic that we’re being charged a convience fee that is decidedly inconvenient. Yeah, we know, its ridiculous. So now, we need to pay a fee to pay our bills. Well, try to pretend not to be shocked but the FCC has decided to… Read more
There’s a bit of a mystery around this particular device, but what’s life without a little mystery, right? While we don’t know much about the brand-spanking-new personal media player coming down the pipe from manufacturer Cowon, the Z2 is looking to be a nice little device if we do say so ourselves. Sure, it’s only the back of the device, but you can bet… Read more
In the last couple days it has been discovered that Verizon is not allowing Google Wallet to be on the Galaxy Nexus. This makes a lot of sense for Verizon since they have partnered with AT&T and T-Mobile to bring their own form of NFC payment to phones. In a statement they said that Wallet can simply not be treated like other apps since it needs… Read more
So you want a DROID 3 with a MacBook keyboard and LTE? Lucky for you the DROID 4 is coming soon. Motorola is quick to replace it’s latest phones these days, and the DROID line is no exception.

Samsung has plenty of tablets available, but that’s not stopping the manufacturer from making even more models. With the tablet race still going strong, it isn’t that surprising that the company wants to be able to have a tablet for all desires, and the easiest way to do that is to have plenty of different sizes. At 7.7-inches, it’s definitely one of the… Read more
While we keep dealing with rumors and speculation as to when the Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be making it into stores, and ultimately customer’s hands, there are still pieces of real hard facts to deal with. For instance, the device has managed to make its way through the FCC’s labyrinth, and has come out showing off LTE bands. The Samsung… Read more
AT&T’s path to the LTE network may not be as bright and bold as some may like, but no one can say they certainly aren’t trying now. Right after the wireless carrier announced a pair of new smartphones for their LTE network (the HTC Vivid and Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket), the network may be getting ready to announce yet another device, this time of the… Read more
While we aren’t going to get an announcement for the Samsung Nexus Prime in just a couple of days, that’s obviously not going to stop the attention on the device. Especially when it lands in the FCC and passes through the gauntlet, showcasing some interesting information.

We’ve actually seen the Huawei Glory before. When we did, though, it had a different name (a name that may still see international waters). Under the guise of the Huawei Glory for Cricket, the Honor is indeed a high-end device heading for the regional carrier, Cricket, as we can see from the pretty obvious branding on the back of the device. The image… Read more
