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 [...]

It might be forever until this comes to a Verizon store near you, but it appears the BlackBerry Curve 8530 is now appearing in the company’s internal inventory system:

We’re getting word from all around Verizon land that the beloved HTC Touch Pro 2 is sold out and you can’t find it on any Verizon Wireless shelf in the country right now.

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. How do they do this? Well by putting the application icon right there on your home [...]

For quite awhile Verizon Wireless has been attacked for their poor phone selection and some would say rightfully slow. But it is a tradeoff. They have the most rigorous device testing standards of any carrier and their real focus is on reliability.

Usually you think of an upgrade as something that improves the existing whatever-is-being-discussed… that is the purpose at least, right? Thus was the intention with the BlackBerry Tour firmware update version 4.7.1.53 but the reality was much, much different.
