The announcement of the Verizon iPhone launching next month has a lot of people considering changing providers. Some are thinking of switching to Verizon to get their iPhone. Others are wanting to leave Verizon for fear that their service will go downhill once the iPhone onslaught begins. Other than local and regional providers, there are 4 major cell services out there. Which one is best? It’s always a matter of debate and often relies on word of mouth and reputation. Then, there are those who want data. Here it is. This graphic by Wilson Electronics puts all of the data and presents it in a visual…

The Verizon iPhone is upon us, so now it is our job to let you know all the details so you can make an informed decision. For most, this might not be a hard decision at all, but for the rest, we are here to help. The Verizon iPhone will be available for pre order on February 3. Current Verizon Wireless customers will be able to get in on the fun before anyone else. Then on February 10, the iPhone will be available to everyone.  It will cost you $199 for the 16GB version and $299 for the 32GB version, along with the two-year Verizon Wireless contract. And from what we gather so far, data pricing will remain the…

It might have been a few years in the making. It might have even been a few years too long in the waiting. But none of that matters anymore. Verizon has officially announced that it will be teaming up with Apple to bring a CDMA version of the iPhone on its networks next month. Millions are expected to be sold already. And there are already a few differences that have become apparent. What we know so far is that this will be a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 (so no iPhone 5 here quite yet). This also means that it will not run on Verizon’s highly touted LTE network, which the company has been pushing hard, even at this…

Could it be? As most of the tech world is huddled around various devices in Las Vegas, Apple is quietly rolling out vacation date block outs between February 3rd and February 6th, a source confirmed with BGR today. Something big will likely be launch on the 3rd, a Thursday, and unless Apple has a big surprise up their sleeves (which is never out of the question with Apple) it is likely that we will have a Verizon iPhone launch on that day. Can you hear me now? Not yet, but soon….

There are so many stats, studies, and graphics depicting the rise of Android and the continued success of Blackberry that we won’t mention them here. They’re all meaningless until we see a Verizon iPhone. When it comes, we’ll finally see how Android and Blackberry truly stack up to the iPhone. Speculations are rampant about when it will arrive. Some are now saying February. In true Apple fashion, the news will come when it comes and buildup to Steve Jobs standing on stage smiling with a huge Verizon logo in the background will not be necessary. It will have the fanfare of a product launch and everyone…

The latest “buzz” in the tablet race comes from a video released yesterday by Motorola. “Tablet Evolution” walks us through a virtual museum with the progressing forms of tablet “technology” represented, starting with Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The format is clever, listing a positive element of each followed by the drawback that plagued them. Their jab at the iPad was particularly clever, saying that, “It’s like a giant iPhone, but… it’s like a giant iPhone.” We’ll know more about it next month at CES, but the presence of a bee at the end of the video has many speculating that it is the predicted…

The Internet continues to grow faster and more data hungry, so broadband providers need to build the infrastructure to support our bandwidth needs. Verizon is happy to oblige, with the recent announcement of 150Mbps connections with Verizon FiOS. Verizon has already began rolling out the enhanced service, which offers 150Mbps download and 35Mbps upload, and offers speeds three-times faster than previous offerings by the company for a price of $195 per month. While only available to a few select markets at this point in time, Verizon hopes to have the service rolled out to all FiOS customers…

Now that both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have suggested Apple’s iPhone is coming to Verizon, it’s likely a safe bet it’s happening. Sure, some details like dates might be off; but with both major outlets saying the same thing, let’s all just agree it’s coming now, ‘kay? But with Verizon having around 90 million wireless subscribers, the iPhone’s arrival will send some send significant ripples through the industry. After all, after only being on only one provider, Apple have jumped to having around a quarter of the smartphone market in a few short years. With significantly more…

Windows Phone 7 is almost upon us and Microsoft is confident that it’s going to catapult them right back into the mobile space. Some aren’t so sure though, including Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam. In a recent interview with CNET, McAdam openly disses Microsoft’s mobile efforts, claiming that there are three players in the mobile space, RIM, Google and Apple. Interestingly, the last in the list is also a company Verizon doesn’t currently carry, but that might change soon if rumors of a Verizon iPhone prove to be true. When asked about Microsoft, McAdam says Verizon likes Microsoft, but when pushed…

Net Neutrality – the idea that all internet traffic should be treated equally regardless of source or purpose – is, to put it mildly, a hotly debated topic. There is a huge variety of arguments on both sides of the fence, many of them both compelling and complex – and in light of the recent agreement between Google and Verizon, many have been revisiting the debate. At stake is an essential question: whether or not the growth and development of the internet should be something regulated by government or guided by free enterprise. But also at stake in the debate is whether or not the internet will be a new…
