Verizon Nokia Lumia 928 Hands-on with PureView photo samples

, May 14th 2013 Discuss [4]

This week we’ve gotten our first opportunity to have a peek at the high-end Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon, a device that takes Nokia’s unique angle on Windows Phone 8 and brings it to the big red 4G LTE carrier. This machine works with 4G LTE / CDMA as well as HSPA+, this device prepared for global travel as Verizon devices are apt to do – more and more as the trend catches on, that is. This device is largely similar to the Nokia Lumia 920 released with AT&T earlier this year and has some distinct similarities with the other Nokia smartphone revealed in full this week: the Lumia 925.

Verizon iPhone 5 discount rumor suggests new model incoming

, May 6th 2013 Discuss [4]

The iPhone 5 has been out on the market for roughly seven months, but the phone has never seen a big discount on any of the carriers. However, that could change very soon, as it's rumored that Verizon will be discounting the iPhone 5 by $100 starting at mid-month. This could possibly hint that a new iPhone model is incoming, as Verizon looks to possibly clear some inventory to make room for new stuff. Read The Full Story

Pantech Perception Review

, May 1st 2013 Discuss [2]

This week we’ve had the opportunity to have a peek at the newest smartphone from Verizon in the Pantech Perception, a device whose gesture abilities appear at first to outweigh its full suite of high-end specifications. While this device isn’t exactly a match for the likes of the GALAXY S 4 from Samsung or the HTC One by any means, Pantech does appear to have created a solid device for the masses, and not one meant for the budget crowd they’ve so often tended to in the past.

HTC One variant appears in code: Verizon may be brewing

, Apr 28th 2013 Discuss [4]

As the HTC One was released in review unit form earlier this year, it became apparent that a cross-carrier release in the USA wasn’t as cut and dry as it first appeared. The largest carrier in the United States, Verizon Wireless, was tipped to be considering releasing the HTC One on their 4G LTE network not only breaking from their original passing on such a release, but with an unheard-of lack of additional branding. While the HTC-made DROID DNA still sits as Verizon’s hero device by that manufacturer, a deeply embedded code leak discovered this month may be an indicator of Verizon’s push to bring the HTC One to its ranks soon.

, Apr 23rd 2013 Discuss [0]

In a bid to take on the top contenders in the smartphone market this season in the USA, Pantech will be bringing a device by the name of Perception, complete with 3D gesture sensing technology onboard.
