In case you were wondering when Verizon Wireless would finally up their ante and match Sprint, well now you know. There's debate out there on whether LTE is truly 4G (and T-Mobile's HSPA+ for that matter), but there's no doubt that Long Term Evolution equipment will provide faster transfers than standard 3G. Verizon has maintained that they...

Verizon is going to be resurrecting the months-dead KIN One and KIN Two, it appears. Despite the fact that it seems like a truly silly decision, based on the (not even) lukewarm response to the phones, that's what a Verizon roadmap seems to show. First coming from PPCGeeks, it seemed somewhat questionable news, particularly since the...

If you thought Verizon's assortment of phones were boring, or even subpar, think again. Within the past 48 hours America's largest wireless carrier has introduced two new phones that are truly unlike anything else out there.

It's hard to build a smartphone these days that truly stands out. Every so often, you'll see a new phone with a really strange design, but in most cases, things remain generally safe. That's largely because applications are designed to work with a specific screen size and a specific resolution (and aspect ratio), so straying too far from the...

The DROID Pro is an interesting mix of BlackBerry (the lower keyboard) and Android, and many have said that this is the Android phone that many RIM users have been waiting for. It has the same general look and feel of a typical BlackBerry phone, but uses Android...

Pat yourself on the back if you've been eyeballing Motorola's Droid 2 and managed to wait this long without upgrading your crusty old Razr (a respectable cell phone for its time). Your reward? Verizon has gone and snipped the price of the Droid 2, which now runs $150 with a 2-year contract (and after a $100 mail-in-rebate in the form of a...

To say it's the most anticipated gadget of the year would be selling things short. It's easily the most anticipated of the decade, maybe more. We cannot recall a fantasy gadget that more people have harped on and asked about for a longer period of time, and according to an emerging report from Fortune, it's coming soon. It's the Verizon iPhone,...

Sprint thanking Apple for making the iPad? That's something you probably didn't see coming. Sprint is one of the two major U.S. carriers that have no real ties to the iPad. Verizon Wireless just started offering the Wi-Fi version along with a VZW MiFi, and AT&T has an integrated 3G version. So why would Sprint be thankful for the iPad's...

BGR has heard from one of its sources, and the news involves the iPhone3,2 device we've seen wandering around recent firmware. According to BGR's source, that device has reached the “AP” or last stage before retail release (which is one stage past the iPhone 4 hofbrau leak). Strangely, BGR reports that the new phone also has a...

The iPad! It's coming to Verizon Wireless! Call your parents! Call your friends! Oh, wait...it's not what you think. Not exactly, anyway. As of now, there is no CDMA-equipped iPad. The only iPad with 3G is one that functions on a GSM network, or AT&T's network in the U.S. But sure enough, VZW will soon be stocking Apple's white-hot tablet....

According to TechCrunch, not only will the rumored...

It was just a couple of days ago that Skype introduced its Skype for Android app, and there was much rejoicing. But U.S. users were singularly blocked from using Skype over 3G networks, except Verizon users. American Android users could only use it via Wi-Fi even though folks in other nations had no such restrictions (although the app isn't...

Verizon Wireless has a new way for you to get online, but it's a pricey one.
