January 27, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Announcements, HTC, News

From what we see, the company HTC is very active in launching a lot of smart phone models, and had heard the last of which information was confirmed by several appearances on the Internet.

HTC Supersonic was confirmed by some “flaws” on the Internet, and began to be released only to the mobile phone operator “Sprint”, and among its characteristics we find some common specifications of the HTC model H2.

Otherwise we mention that it will have operating system Android, a 1GHz processor (known Snapdragon), 1GB of internal storage, display very large 4.3-inch capacitive type and built in OLED technology.

What is interesting is that he will have a higher capacity battery than the average for these smart phones, and will have the same 5 megapixel camera found in model “Nexus ONE.

Yet not known until the approximate date of release, to be held in March, the price still remains unknown.

Verizon wants to make changes in wireless plans

January 17, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Announcements, Rumor, Verizon

Rumor has been going around lately that Verizon Wireless was about to change up its wireless plans. Looks like Verizon is tired of the rumors, and has issued a press release detailing the changes that are about to go in effect on Monday January 18. The changes are mixed, some being welcome changes, some seeming to almost be a step backwards in terms of customer relations.

The first big change for Verizon is the introduction of new Unlimited Talk and Unlimited Talk & Text plans. The plans will cost $69.99 and $89.99 per month, respectively. Those plans will allow for unlimited calling to anyone, and unlimited texting to anyone, possibly eliminating the annoying calling bubbles the current plans provide. The family plans for each will cost $119.99 for Unlimited Talk and $149.99 for Unlimited Talk & Text, which includes the first two lines.

LG KS360

If you ever felt jealous of your friends on Sprint using the LG Rumor, the LG KS360 looks to be a GSM variant aimed at a similar audience. With Communicasia 2008 now taking place in Singapore, LG has unveiled a Triband GSM GPRS/EDGE QWERTY slider that looks very reminiscent of the LG Rumor here in the States made famous by Sprint. With a 2.4 inches screen running at 240 x 320 pixels, the LG KS360 is set to only release in Asia. Although the device will only be available in Asia initially, recent FCC filing and approvals should take care of any requirements preventing a US launch later this year.

The news is solid and hopefully investors will look past the current economic condition of Sprint Nextel and give the yellow and black team some credit. As we previously suspected, the Nokia Internet Tablet N810 WiMAX edition will be the first device available at launch along with a few AirCards and USB modems from ZyXEL. With WiMAX coming in next months and the Samsung Instinct taking on the iPhone later this week, expect an exciting year for Sprint Nextel and their best chance to turn around the company to 2005 figures.
