Last week, amidst a bunch of new renders leaking of the Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon, we heard a rumor that the phone's launch was nearly here, and the carrier could be expected to announce the smartphone this week, on April 25. That seemed sensible enough at the time, but now a new rumors suggests that we won't get official word on the 928 this month at all, and will have to wait until May for the handset's debut. Bloomberg cites a pair of sources for its reporting on the 928's launch, claiming that Verizon will go public with its 928 plans sometime in May. That's not a tremendous ...

It's almost like clockwork: first tipster evleaks published a render of the Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon in black, followed shortly by it in white. Overnight we got to check out a new look at the phone in black, now showing the sides as well as its face in back, and now wouldn't you know it, but evleaks has the same sort of thing for us to check out again, only this time in white. This is arguably a more interesting find than that new black render, as while we already got to see the black 928 from both the front and back, the only white 928 render so far was just of the phone's rear. Now we ...

The Nokia Lumia 928 is no secret anymore, with all the leaks we've recently seen, and with rumored launch details talking about a certain April 25 announcement followed by either a May 2 or May 9 availability. Today's leak features a render of the device, but this time, alongside the front and back part of the phone, which we've already seen, we get a chance to take a look at both sides too (revealing the volume rockers, power button and camera button on the right edge). All that's left is an official announcement with exact pricing and availability but that shouldn't be far our now. ...

We didn't expect to run the Weekly with a skeleton crew two weeks in a row - and it's a good thing we didn't have to. Mere minutes into this week's Tony-and-Michael-only podcast, Taylor Martin arrives to save us from the spectre of a fun, but low-energy, two-man show. In its place: jokes, laughs, and a lot of industry insight you're gonna wanna put your ears on. We talk phone batteries that can jump-start your car, what place Twitter has in music, whether we should be excited about Motorola's X phone or Nokia's aluminum Catwalk, and the strengths and weaknesses of Windows Phone, Facebook ...

AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S 4 pre-orders went officially live today and now Samsung has changed the status of the Verizon, and T-Mobile flavors to "coming soon". Those who want to grab one on US cellular can start placing their pre-orders right now, following the source link below. It goes for $199.99 and both black and white versions are available, in the 16GB format. Of course, we're looking at the Snapdragon 600-powered version, just like in the case of AT&T (and the other two carrier flavors below). The Verizon Galaxy S 4 has model number SCH-I545 while the one for T-Mobile ...

If you're waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 to reach your carrier you might be interested in this leak as there is currently no information out there (that is solid enough to consider) to get you through the waiting. We're looking at a leaked Staples store training document that seems to have the answer for US carriers and their S 4 devices. AT&T: April 26. T-Mobile: May 1. Verizon: May 30. Those are the dates but there's also a bolded word right above them: tentative. However, the information seems to match previous rumors and device reservations, according to the document above, ...

According to the latest leaks a certain Nokia Lumia 928 is on its way to Verizon and judging by the leaked renders of the black phone, as well as the follow-up white phone render, it appears to be a Lumia 920 on steroids, while maintaining the general aspect and feature guidelines of the Nokia flagship. Most probably based off of these leaked renders user PhoneDesigner on Facebook has published these renders of the "Lumia 928". The back grill as well as the PureView branding on the camera and the Xenon flash also seems to match the leaked renders, in addition to the speaker below the ...

We've been talking about LG's Lucid 2 for a little under a month now, after it first debuted in a leaked image, apparently as Verizon's version of the LG Optimus F5. Yesterday we got a fresh dose of Lucid 2 rumors, and it was looking like phone was getting ready to go official. Sure enough, today Verizon has formally announced the Android smartphone, going up for sale on April 4. We had previously heard that April 4 might be when the Lucid 2 hits stores, but from the sounds of Verizon's announcement, you're going to have a better chance finding it online initially; while online orders kick ...
