Verizon Hub DOA, Android Hub Next?

by verizon voyager on September 30th, 2009

That didn’t take long – the Verizon Hub is no longer being offered by the company. The idea was to revolutionize the desk phone and the idea itself was good. But the price was too high, features were too few, bugs were too many, marketing was too little and overall the implementation and effort were [...]

Verizon Razzle Set Fill Blitz Shoes, More

by verizon voyager on September 28th, 2009

Are you familiar with the Verizon Blitz? It wasn’t one of the company’s most popular devices but it captured a small, niche crowd looking for something ultra original in the form factor department. But the specs were unimpressive and it looked very… oompa-loompa-ish, if you can imagine what the means. If you can’t just look [...]

iRex E-Reader Coming To BestBuy, Verizon

by verizon voyager on September 23rd, 2009

If I were to ask 10 random people to name an E-Reader, I’m guessing every single person would provide “Amazon Kindle” as their first answer (if they could come up with an answer at all). There WAS only one popular alternative: Sony Reader Daily Edition. You’ll soon be able to add the iRex to that [...]

Nokia Twist Is Truly Unique, We Like It

by verizon voyager on September 23rd, 2009

Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the Nokia Twist in its full flesh, but judging from the Engadget Review of the Twist we’re absolutely in love. This is one of the first truly innovative form factors to launch in quite awhile and this thing is pretty darn hot. It resembles the Verizon Blitz but has [...]

If you’ve had a BlackBerry Storm for any decent amount of time you’ll know that Verizon Wireless likes to give you a little nudge*nudge and tap*tap, encouraging you to download the latest cool app to hit BlackBerry App World.
