It is anticipated that Verizon [VZ] will officially announce the availability of a CDMA-capable version of Apple’s [AAPL] iPhone device on their cellular network. This is one of those stories that has been circulating for quite sometime, at this point. Various news outlets have reported that the network carrier issue has been the major obstacle [...]

Smack! Smack! Smack! Ouch! That smarts! Verizon [VZ] has now gotten two of  Palm’s [PALM] flagship devices that Sprint [S] has been touting, although some may say unsuccessfully due to the odd way that software developers and consumers have been treated– or at least very mixed– there’s that new question as to how Verizon will [...]

Natali del Conte (you remember her, right?) has mentioned in today’s Loaded episode that Verizon [VZ] is preparing to receive Palm [PALM] Pre devices on their network, sometime in 2010.

Although BGR is claiming that there is a massive supply run for the Storm, it’ll be a [...]

The war for the hearts, minds, and hands of the wireless masses continues, this time with a new entrant (actually a duo) vying for an initial foothold (handhold?) in the ever-dynamic market for smartphones. Or, perhaps more accurately, it has taken on a new angle due to the new competitor. Never mind the Samsung Instinct. [...]

It’s been in the press for several weeks now… the game-changing BlackBerry device that will premiere on a cellular carrier that has been long shut out of this latest smartphone wave (at least in the U.S.)… Yep, that’s right: Verizon [VZ] will be getting the initial rights to the BlackBerry Storm, RIM’s [RIMM] shot across [...]
