This morning Verizon Wireless had just announced its 4G LTE Network launching Dec 5th with 2 LTE USB Modems. 38 Markets will go live on Dec 5th as well as 60 metropolitan airports across the United States.
Prices for the USB Device will be $99.99 after $50 Mail in rebate on a 2 year contract and the Plans will start at $50/month for 5GB and $80/month for 10GB with overages at $10 per 1GB.
From the press release, Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless, said, “Beginning Sunday, Verizon Wireless is making the best network even better. Our initial 4G LTE launch gives customers access to the fastest and most advanced mobile network in America and immediately reaches more than one-third of all Americans, right where they live. That’s just the start. We will quickly expand 4G LTE, and by 2013 will reach the existing Verizon Wireless 3G coverage area.”
With 4G LTE, Verizon is expecting download speeds of 5-12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2-5 Mbps, up to 10x faster as current data speeds.
Sorry no pictures to show, but last night at an unnamed event I got a chance to see both the Moto Droid Pro and the HTC Merge. I must say that both phones will be great hits for this coming 4th Quarter. I only got to spend barely a minute with each phone but the hardware on both feels good.
The Moto Droid Pro keyboard feels very similar to the BlackBerry Bold keyboard, nice soft touch to it. The touchscreen does not look cramped or small at all. The back of the phone was a nice polished finish. For those long time BlackBerry users that have not made the switch to an Android device yet, this may be the one that will seal the deal!
The HTC Merge was the other phone I got my hands on and definitely did not disappoint. For having a slideout keyboard the phone did not feel thick or heavy at all. As a matter of fact, it felt thinner and lighter than the Droid2. The keys on the keyboard felt very spacious and made good use of the space it had. I currently use the HTC Incredible now but I do miss having a keyboard. The HTC Merge would be a great phone to transition to after my Incredible.
Overall both phones will be great additions to the Verizon Android Family. Looking forward to getting more time with both phones and will be selling a ton of these come this Holiday Shopping Season!

After you snap your photo on your 8MP Camera, click on the “Share” option. You will then find a list of participating retailers in the area to print out your photo. Enter in your information and click on “Place Order”. Your photo will be ready for pickup within an hour. It also gives you the option to search local retailers by entering in a zip code.

Just got our first shipment of the all-new Motorola DROID X!!!
Some quick comments before I get into a more detailed review of the phone, the screen is quite large when you first start using it. But after about an hour of some hands on time, you definitely get used to the larger screen size and also a little spoiled after going back to my HTC Incredible. A few other things is how quick and snappy the phone is. Loading apps and changing between apps are very smooth.
Here are few more pictures of the DROID X: (click on picture for larger image)
Received a software update on my HTC Incredible yesterday and noticed a new pretty cool Bootup Animation.
Thought I was getting an early software update to Froyo 2.2 but when I went to check the software information it still said 2.1. (Check pictures below for the new Software Versions.)
As I was continued to browse the phones for other differences, I noticed 3G Mobile Hotspot icon popped with all my other icons and also I noticed in the Video mode there was the option for 720p Video Recording.
Looks like we are getting some goodies before the Froyo 2.2 update.
Back in 2008, Google first announced their first Android Device with T-Mobile named the G1. At the time, the Android OS was named Cupcake, since then it has been followed up with newer and updated versions named Donut and Eclair. Last week at Google’s I/O Conference, Google had just released their newest Android OS named Froyo. Although the version number has only changed from 2.1 to 2.2 there are a lot of changes with this new Froyo OS. Below are some of the main changes and additions to the growing Android platform.
Even Faster Browser Experience: New JavaScript engine that makes it the “fastest mobile browser”
External Storage App: Many people have asked for it and now finally Froyo has now delivered. Now users will be given an option to store their downloaded apps onto their phone memory or on their memory card.
Tethering and Hotspot feature: Depending on how the carrier handles this feature, but this would be a great add on for Android users. Having used the Palm Mobile Hotspot Feature on the Palm Pixi, I can say it is pretty awesome to have on a phone.
Gmail and Calendar Updates: Adds more color and labeling to Gmail and more color for free times in Calendar
Voice Recognition Settings: More languages to choose from
Security Lock Changes: Users now have an extra option of entering in a PIN number instead of a Pattern Lock.
Flash Player 10.1: Could play a few Flash websites, but the real Flash on the browser is coming this summer.
