If you’re the lucky owner of a Samsung Galaxy S III on Verizon, and you haven’t flashed any ROMs on it, you should be getting an update fairly soon. But before you get too excited, it’s a simple maintenance update, nothing big. This isn’t 4.2 Jelly Bean, unfortunately. However, the update does add better keyboard predictions, better Bluetooth… Read more
While we obviously have our preference in high end devices, we never miss a chance to speak about impressive devices with low prices. Verizon is about to get a new mid end phone called the LG Lucid 2. It’ll come with a 4.3″ qHD display, a dual core Snapdragon at 1.2GHz, a 5MP camera, and 4.1.2 Jelly Bean preloaded. This will be obvious competition… Read more
If you’re the (proud?) owner of an LG Intuition on Verizon, there is some fairly good news for you. Verizon is going to be pushing an update to your device soon.

Though the Verizon Galaxy Nexus has reached its End of Life, it might not have been forgotten. Well, a little anyway, because being four updates behind its GSM brother gives off the impression of being forgotten. When asked about an update, Verizon’s support Twitter account responded that Samsung will be pushing an update to the Galaxy Nexus. What… Read more
We thought we’d never see the day. Verizon is releasing an update to the LG Spectrum that actually removes bloatware apps.

To top of all off, there are a bunch of improvements. It should be a good… Read more
It looks like Verizon is once again updating aging phones, except this isn’t like the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Thunderbolt. This is no large update, no change in Android version. The Rezound update is only 6.9MB and contains what they say is “HTC device enhancement.” We have no clue what that could mean, but we’ll see. An update of that size… Read more
HTC’s event is just a few days away and thanks to @evleaks, we have another image of the unofficially titled HTC One device, this time in Black. The HTC One is rumored to arrive on March 22nd on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile, with Verizon releasing it later on although no exact date has been given.

If you insist on getting devices only from your local Verizon store, and refuse to use third parties like Wirefly and Amazon Wireless, this is right up your alley. The Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD has been discounted from its $300 perch to $249.99, $50 off. For a device with a 720p HD display, dual core processor, and a massive 3,300 mAh battery, that’s… Read more
