Late last week we talked about a theory regarding the launch of Verizon's version of the HTC One. While it was heavily based on speculation, the idea that Verizon might take advantage of an event during the upcoming CTIA conference to announce the smartphone seemed pretty darn logical. Verizon continues to remain tight-lipped about the situation, but we get a little bit of circumstantial evidence supporting the One launch theory today, upon seeing Verizon heavily discount the HTC Droid DNA. After all, the predominant theory for why Verizon has kept its distance from the One concerns last ...

Back in April, we got word that Verizon would be adding its own version of the Galaxy S 4 to its lineup sometime in May. As we moved closer to the end of April, we saw pre-orders for the phone begin, and finally learned just when it would hit the carrier: May 30. Several weeks have passed since, and Verizon has a touch of good news for its subscribers, revealing today that the GS4 will arrive early. Instead of May 30, Verizon will get the Galaxy S 4 a full week earlier, on May 23. We wonder if Samsung simply committed to having stocks ready earlier, or if Verizon has moved things up as a ...

After advertising material for the Nokia Lumia 928 surfaced a little early, Nokia dropped any pretense that the phone was still secret and has spent this week releasing additional 928 promotional content. Still, we've wondered when the wave would finally crest and we'd get a proper announcement and all. There's Nokia's London event next week, but a UK event for a Verizon launch never made much sense. Instead, Nokia and Verizon have decided to play this one low-key, forgoing any formal press event and simply announcing the 928's arrival this morning. The Lumia 928 launch will come to ...

Nokia Lumia 928 vs Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S III video comparison, courtesy of Nokia, that's what we have here. There's a lot of smoke recently concerning the Nokia Lumia 928, and there surely must be a fire too. We've seen a lot of leaks and heard a lot of rumors about the upcoming Lumia phone and, a couple of days after its landing page went live, Nokia has updated the info with official renders and a comparison video -- though we'll hold off on conclusions until we test the phone against other models in our own labs and environments. Above you can see the official images of the ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about Windows Phone 8 GDR2 and a a possible release date along with some billboards that show us what the Nokia Lumia 928 is all about. Then we move to HTC as the red HTC One shows itself in the UK, along with the fact that HTC has improved in sales this month when compared to last month. Then we go through the BlackBerry R10 being compared the Q10, just to make your choice for either much easier since the R10 is just ugly. Later we go through the leaks of a mysterious LG phone we assume to be the Optimus G2, and then we talk about the reports that ...

A lot of factors play in a decision that ends in you agreeing to keep a service in good standing for upwards of two years. Each and every time I go to upgrade one of my lines, it gives me pause. There's just something daunting about signing a two-year agreement, something that makes you think, "My contract will end soon. Is it time to shop around again?" My first cell phone was a Motorola T720c (dumb phone) through Alltel. It was a hand-me-down that my mother had used for about a year. I was 14 and I was in a band, playing shows almost every weekend and spending a lot of time away from ...

It is now time for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 to be in the spotlight, and it's just good this way after the other phones were stealing all the headlines. We've seen the Sprint unit up-close and personal, compared it to almost everything that matters out there, and, more recently, we've taken a look at some special S-Features as well as the S-View cover (and we still have much more to come). Verizon customers who are waiting for the S 4 should be happy to find out that, according to the official wording Big Red sent out, they can now pre-order the Galaxy S 4 from the carrier. Starting today, ...
