When the Samsung Galaxy S III came out in the US, it started a huge controversy because the Verizon model came with a locked bootloader. All other models were luckily unlocked, but one carrier locking their device was bad enough. We hoped that something similar wouldn’t happen the next year, but we couldn’t put it past Verizon. However, with the… Read more
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 is coming out for the other three carriers within the next few days, but it seems like Verizon likes making you wait. Pre-orders for the Verizon Galaxy S 4 are now open, so you can sign up by hitting the source link. The launch date will be May 30th, over a month from now, according to a Verizon rep. Sorry Verizon customers,… Read more
While the other carriers are open with their release dates of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and allow you to pre-order the device nice and early, Verizon has remained quiet. Today, they announced via Twitter that pre-orders start tomorrow. Yes, it’s pretty late, but at least you can do so now straight through Verizon. Also announced on Twitter, but through… Read more
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the DLXPLUS, and we’re sure it won’t be the last. HTC recently confirmed that they would be making a follow up to the HTC Butterfly, better known as the DROID DNA in the US. Yes, it’d be making more high end phones when they promised not to, but that debate is for another time. The Butterfly was originally… Read more
Verizon has announced another mid range phone for their lineup. I personally love mid range devices, if they excel for their price, so I’m excited to see what Pantech has to offer with the Perception. The Perception comes with a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display, which is pretty impressive for a mid range phone. It also has an 8MP rear camera, 2MP front… Read more
So you’re a Verizon customer who wants a Samsung Galaxy S 4. What do you do while the device is still not out? Verizon launched a sign up page for the S 4, so you can sign up for that while you’re waiting. It doesn’t say anything more than “coming soon” so we don’t know how much longer people will have to wait, but at least you can help Verizon gauge… Read more
After a good deal of waiting and remaining silent while a number of competitors announced pre-orders and release dates, Verizon has *finally* taken to their Twitter page and announced the Galaxy S 4 launching in May. Being late is typical Verizon loves to do so there’s no real surprise in Big Red taking the opportunity to hog the spotlight this evening… Read more
Do you remember what Verizon did to the Galaxy Note II? Let me remind you: they slapped a giant Verizon logo right on the home button. The defaced the device by putting a giant logo, an asymmetrical one at that, right on the only button on the front. And with the Galaxy S 4 coming out, people feared it would be the same story, or worse. Luckily, the… Read more
Today, Verizon announced payment plans for off contract phones, very similar to what T-Mobile now offers with their Uncarrier approach. You can buy a phone for full price, and the carrier will offer you a payment plan to pay it off over a period of time instead of paying $600 up front. However, T-Mobile uses this instead of contracts. Their fees don’t… Read more
The highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S 4 arrival is expected to be soon, but we haven’t heard any concrete launch dates for either AT&T or Verizon. T-Mobile’s CEO announced the May 1st availability back at the carrier’s UNcarrier rate plan announcements at the end of March. Thankfully, according to a leaked Staples document, we now have tentative… Read more
