In the news
Jan. 13th, 2011 11:26 pmVerizon Wireless is discontinuing its "New every two" program for upgrading devices. The program offered great discounts on top of already subsidized price for the handsets and allowed people to upgrade their phones for a reasonable price as early as thirteen months into their two-year contracts. No more. Too bad.
There are four new LTE Android smart phones due out before the middle of the year, one each from LG, Moto, HTC and Samsung. Since I am reasonably sure there won't be any native voice over LTE support until sometime next year, these will have to have dual mode antennas: CDMA and LTE. Which in turn might mean that your data connection won't get dropped if you receive or make a phone call. Revolutionary. It's also handy for fall back in the areas where there is no LTE coverage. I wonder how good an iPhone competition these will make.
Cabby who drove me home from the airport today was listening to Howard Stern on the radio. In between lively discussions of some dude getting caught in a compromising situation with a transvestite and Stern's decision to spend the last few minutes of his 57th birthday masturbating, Stern enthusiastically endorsed Verizon. I dearly hope Verizon didn't actually pay him for that endorsement.
