The folks at Verizon have today let it be known that their 4G LTE network will be covering 417 U.S. markets by the end of the day on October 18th, this destroying their year-end goals entirely.

This announcement was accompanied by assurances that the iPhone 5 launch has gone well so far and that their 4G LTE network has not given way to the massive amount of recently activated devices across the nation.

It's time to jump back in the LG Android boat with the LG Mach LTE, a smartphone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 4-inch display. The body of this device may appear fat to you - that's because it most certainly is, bringing its rather Intuition-like body in at a much more handheld size. Here you've got otherwise mid-tier specifications with a 5 megapixel camera on the back and a set of apps that make the carrier of this device integrate deeply.

ASUS VivoTab RT announced for AT&T with 4G LTE and Windows RT
With the Windows 8 wave oncoming quick, it appears to be AT&T that's taking on the mobile bit of the universe first, here with the ASUS VivoTab RT with 4G LTE amongst others. This device is one that we've seen before - announced back during IFA 2012 first of all.

T-Mobile CEO speaks on MetroPCS merger as “a deal to thrive”
Earlier today T-Mobile and MetroPCS announced that they'd reached a deal that would lead to them merging together to create a brand new publicly traded company, and this afternoon, T-Mobile's CEO John Legere has released a video explaining the deal. What he lets the public know - and perhaps more importantly here the employees of both companies and the investors and boards of both companies know - is that this is an entirely positive move. Perhaps the most important sentence in the entire presentation reads: "This isn't a deal to survive - it's to thrive."

T-Mobile MetroPCS merger tips LTE rollout on AWS
If you're thinking that T-Mobile will be grabbing one whole heck of a lot of LTE now that MetroPCS has joined the team, you'd be right - sort of. What the team has announced today is that should their merger work out, they'd be turning off MetroPCS's 1XCDMA network by the end of 2015 with sharing occurring between them and T-Mobile amounting to at least 50Mhz of wireless spectrum in key cities across the USA. With the spectrum they share, T-Mobile and MetroPCS would begin rolling out a "20x20" LTE network that'd be potentially twice as fast as Verizon's network.

Samsung Galaxy Stellar Review
Samsung may be best known for its effort in the high-end market, but it didn’t get the title of largest smartphone manufacturer just by pumping out the biggest and best all the time. In addition to top-of-the-line, Samsung also hits the budget scene hard, with its latest budget-priced offering being the Galaxy Stellar. Now available at Verizon, the Galaxy Stellar brings Android to the masses on the cheap, but is it the worth your time, and more importantly, is it worth signing a two-year contract for?
