Looks as though Verizon is getting to the final testing stages of what will eventually be the official ICS build for the Droid Razr and Razr Maxx. A new test build (6.14.84) has been pushed out to testers and has been packaged for download for those willing to give it a run. Some of the [...]
At this point, we are starting to pencil in a release of the DROID Incredible 4G LTE some time during the next couple of weeks. A finished build of the device has been photo’d a handful of times, the DroidDoes.com page for it went live earlier in the week, and now we are seeing cases [...]
Just a few short months after acquiring app discovery firm Chomp, it seems Apple has silently killed the Android version of Chomp’s recommendation software. As first noted by GigaOm, the app has vanished from Google Play, and all mentions of Google’s OS have been removed from the Chomp homepage. Apple purchased the company for an [...]
A few days ago we got a sneak peak at Verizon’s Droid Does landing page for the Droid Incredible 4G.

The update was originally stated to start on Friday, April 27th but it apparently is available now and [...]
While Verizon always has a stacked Android lineup, it has to ensure it has the latest and greatest devices by keeping things fresh and up to date. To that end, it looks like Big Red is all set for its Summer and Fall lineup for 2012. For starters, it does indeed plan on carrying a version [...]
Ice Cream Sandwich aka Android 4.0, is a major improvement and being that there’s a lot of devices still running Gingerbread, the previous version, newer devices are getting upgraded as time goes on.

In its recent review of T-Mobile’s HTC One S, AllThingsD noted in passing that a Verizon spokesperson mentioned that “the carrier’s next phone wouldn’t be part of the One series.” Indeed, all signs point to the rumored Droid Incredible 4G LTE launching soon without any “One” branding to be found – but is it about [...]
Annoyed over the fact that Verizon passed on the HTC One X, a device that has blown us away over the last couple of weeks? According to a new rumor, they plan to make up for it by launching a device with a 5″ 1080p display and quad-core Krait Snapdragon processor this fall. Think of [...]

We were chatting with our industry friend @P3Droid yesterday when he started dropping talk of the entire new DROID line of phones from Verizon being unlocked to work on AT&T and T-Mobile GSM networks. At launch, we knew that most (if not all) of these phones had GSM radios buried within, but that Verizon had [...]
Yes Samsung started updating many of its devices to ICS around the world, but what about us here in the States?

A list of phones on US carriers set to receive an upgrade to Android 4.0 is now available on Samsung’s support pages, providing confirmation for a number of devices. It’s not the first time the manufacturer’s update plans have been detailed, but the latest announcement is far more carrier-specific. On AT&T, the Galaxy S II, [...]
Now, this is one of the better Photoshop screw-ups we have seen in a while, right here.

Reports have been coming in that Verizon had silently posted the HTC DROID Incredible 4G for sale on DroidDoes.com. The page listed complete specs, pricing and the option to buy it now.

The folks over at Pocketnow have uncovered a device that seems to be coming to Verizon with the model no. SCH-i200.
