Verizon Getting the iPhone This Fall? [Update: Specs]
I hate to do it but I have to.
The WSJ is reporting that Verizon will land the iPhone this coming fall with production set to ramp up on the CDMA version in September from Pegatron.

Motorola Devour: Baby Droid With MotoBlur on Verizon
Remember when Verizon offered the worst phones imaginable? It wasn’t that long ago, but in the last year or so they really turned things around. It’s doubtful that anyone would argue if I said they had the best overall selection of devices.

Palm Pre Plus Review: Is Plus Enough?
Palm made a splash at CES in 2009 with the announcement of webOS and I’d say they’ve done a good job maintaining that momentum. A year later, they’ve added Verizon and AT&T to the roster and updated both the Pre and Pixi with – what some might call – minor updates.

AT&T Drops Silly Lawsuit Against Verizon Wireless
Oh goodness. I’m glad that Verizon and AT&T have dropped those silly lawsuits against each other over those ridiculous 3G network ads. I was really losing sleep over them. I have to wonder, though, whether or not AT&T’s Luke Wilson ads were even worth the money. Who cares what he has to say? I’m not sure who handles AT&T’s …
