AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint Offer Free Calls And Texting To Those In Japan

To cut the story short for maximum grasp on the topic at hand and easy reading, AT&T subscribers will get free calling and texting to Japan for the whole month of March, while Sprint and Verizon customers will get the same sort of courtesy until April 10th, both wireless and residential for all aforementioned networks. So, uh, T-Mobile, wanna be a humanitarian this time around? Via: VentureBeat

Verizon CTO: We’ll Pass On The Windows Phone 7 Goodies, Thanks.

This, we weren’t expecting, now were we? Verizon CTO Tony (or Anthony) Melone stated that the three major mobile operating systems worth noting of are iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. In blunt wording, he doesn’t give a Nokia about Windows Phone 7. His mentioning of this was in a recent interview with CNET:

“I do want a strong third OS out there,” Melone said. “It gives the carriers more flexibility and balances the interests of all the parties. But I still have doubts whether Microsoft will get the traction they are hoping for with Windows Phone 7… I don’t think Verizon needs the Nokia and Microsoft relationship,” he said. “Right now the three OS players we see for our network are Android, Apple, and RIM. “

Why so sad, Melone? Windows Phone 7 is adding CDMA support in an upcoming update to debut on Sprint, but in the meantime, a Verizon WP7 device doesn’t seem so possible. Perhaps that will change with time? Via: CNET

A Reason Why It Would Suck To Get An iPhone On Verizon.

You have an iPhone (or you’re getting one). You love it. You hate AT&T, but you still love your iPhone (which is actually pretty hard to do). Since 2007, you’ve been buying, setting up, and using the iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and the 4. While the iPhone 4 may be superior (and it is, with only a few Android phones as good as it is), it always is a problem of AT&T. No longer, because it’s on Verizon Wireless, without a hint of crapware seen on Android or branding to be found. It turns out, buying now would be a bad idea.

Doesn’t make much sense of what I just typed right there?

It does.

And you’d be a fool to do otherwise. Now with Verizon on board, and AT&T losing exclusivity in the United States, that means the iPhone 5 will be on both networks. Considering the date is February 10th, and a new iPhone is ALWAYS launched every June/July, then you’d be just as royally screwed as your weekly AT&T customer service call. It’s your choice: be the early adopter and pay for it, or wait it out just a bit longer. You’d enjoy it a lot more, that’s for sure.

Samsung Fascinate Review: Great Hardware, But With A Wrong Carrier Decision

Let’s face it. The Android universe is a little topsy-turvy. There’s a majority of Android phones running 1.6, 2.1 and 2.2, there’s Sense UI, MOTOBLUR, and TouchWiz 3.0 covering up the default experience, and now Verizon removing the Google search option in the Samsung Fascinate. Not to go off to a negative start, but that’s the way things are right now in Android. And yet, the most successful Android phones, in fact use these UI layers, which comes to show: there are plenty of great sugar-frosted Android devices out there.

The Samsung Fascinate, a Galaxy S phone, might be one of them.

BlackBerry Storm3 shot in the wild

What have we here? Either a perfect Photoshop mash-up or the 3.7-inch, 5 megapixel camera, Blackberry 6 -loaded Blackberry Storm3 without a hint of SurePress. A probably release for the Torch’s main rival is due late this year on Verizon. Interestingly, there’s a trackpad on this Storm, and the letter “M” on the top right corner. Does it stand for “meh” or “mediorce”? We’ll find out, soon enough.

Samsung Galaxy Tab En Route To Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile

Surprise! The Samsung Galaxy Tab with a 7-inch super AMOLED display, a 1GHz Hummingbird core, 3.2 megapixel front and 1.3 MP rear cams multimedia tablet running full Android 2.2 Flash 10.1 and all, is due on all four major carriers later this year (some where in October/November), exactly like the smaller Galaxy S Android 2.1 phones. Samsung is reporting that TouchWiz 3.0 will be tweaked slightly; the Reader and Music apps will be knocked off, while the new Media Hub and everything else in the interface will remain.

As for carriers, they will also have an influence — in terms of carrier apps. Otherwise, Verizon should recognize that having Bing only on the Galaxy Tab like the Fascinate is not such a good idea.

As for the unlocked versions, those have not yet been announced, but are being discussed internally, while a Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab will actually be released. Pricing has not yet been mentioned.

On An Editor’s Note: I can’t wait to review the Galaxy Tab, on all four carriers if I must, to see if it lives up to the hype Samsung presents it in.
