It’s not Jelly Bean, but Verizon has announced a significant software update for it’s LG Intuition.  The new update, VS95011B, includes enhancements to Google and other device applications.  Here is what you can expect with this sizable 204MB update:

DEVICE FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS

E-mail viewing has been enhance through the incorporation of Split View.  If you are familiar and comfortable with “preview pane” in e-mail, you will love this new view addition.  Split View allows the user to “split” their message and their e-mail list.  As you move down the list you can view each e-mail in a split pane.  This allows the user to make short work of a full inbox without having to move back and forth from the list to the message over-and-over again.

Do these Tweets mean the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is about to get an update? Probably not

Verizon_Tweet_Galaxy_Nexus_Update_01

Owners of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus got excited when a Tweet from a Verizon Support rep (LH) sent yesterday stated that Samsung was going to push an update out, but didn’t have any other information. Speculation is that it will be Android 4.2.2 or at least 4.2.1. Tweets from Verizon support should always be taken with skepticism as there are countless examples of mistakes and miss information.

Let’s take a look at this tweet. They said that Samsung is going to push it. If an update does occur, we already know it will be Google, but that could be an honest mistake, so I will give him or her the benefit of the doubt. A little later another rep (EO) tweeted..

HTC One (aka M7) to debut on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile on March 22?

With next Tuesday being the big day for the unveiling of the HTC One, we do expect that it will become available sometime in March. We have heard that it could debut as early as March 8 in Europe, but what about the U.S.? Right now the word is that it will land on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile on March 22. We are hearing that there will be a 32GB model and a 64GB model and contract pricing will be $199 and $299 respectively.

What about Verizon you ask? Well back in January, we got wind that it was heading to Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, and T-Mobile was yet to be confirmed. The absence of Verizon is a little disappointing, but I guess it’s not a shocker since they just released the DROID DNA. I think it’s possible that the HTC One might still end up on Verizon, but maybe at a later date as another follow up to the DROID Incredible line. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Pantech has unquestionably been raising its game as of late, launching quality budget handsets like the Burst and Discover on AT&T.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 headed to Verizon with 4G LTE this month

by Colton Kaiser on
tagged , , ,

Just moments ago at its press conference at CES 2013, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Note 10.1 would be making its way to Verizon with 4G LTE in tow. Unsurprisingly, the tablet will ship with Android 4.1, meaning users can expect the same slew of productivity applications as the Wi-Fi model. No specific release date was given, though Samsung says we can expect to see the device hit carrier stores later this month. More information as we get it.

by Colton Kaiser on
tagged , , , ,

Never before have we seen such a glorious Christmas present from Verizon, but it appears as though the original Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX are now receiving an over-the-air update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. A large number of users are reporting that the update is quite hefty, though we still have yet to hear anything official from Verizon.

It seems the update is rolling out in stages, so if you aren’t prompted right away, it shouldn’t be too much longer. Alternatively, you can manually check for the update by heading into Settings > About Phone > System Updates. Be sure to let us know if you’ve managed to snag the update in the comments below.

Limited edition red DROID DNA for Verizon employees pictured

by Robert Nazarian on
tagged , ,

Verizon has been making a habit of offering special edition DROIDs to their employees. A few months ago, it was the DROID RAZR HD / RAZR MAXX HD, and now the DROID DNA gets the same treatment. As you can see the back is the same color red as the side grills that are on the normal retail model. It’s pretty cool looking, but might be a little too loud. If you’re looking to get your hands on one of these, you might want to check out eBay since you won’t find them in stores. A couple of more pictures after the break.
