DROID RAZR in white color available at Verizon Wireless tomorrow

by Mike Macias 12.14.2011

Releasing a phone in white seems to be a hot trend right now. Nokia is doing it with the white N9, Samsung with the white Galaxy S2, and now Motorola with the white DROID RAZR. Apple should be the one to blame for the craze; I see more white iPhones and iPads than black. Starting tomorrow Verizon customers will be able to pick up the Droid RAZR in white online and in stores.

Last chance: Get any Verizon smartphone for a penny from AmazonWireless

by Mike Macias 10.16.2011

If you’re currently shopping for a new smartphone in the US now would be a good time to check out Amazon’s dedicated phone section, AmazonWireless . They always have stunning deals on smartphones but this one is a jaw-dropper. Amazon states, “For a limited time only, all Verizon phones with a new line of service are on sale for a penny and include standard FREE Two-Day Shipping. Offer valid between 5:00 p.m. PDT October 11, 2011, through 11:59 p.m. PDT October 17, 2011, while supplies last.” Too bad this deal excludes the Apple iPhone. Amazon doesn’t sell the iPhone on contract as you can only buy it in a Verizon store or Apple.com. Android phones such as the Droid Bionic 4G, Incredible 2, HTC Thunderbolt 4G, and the Droid 3 Global .....

Today the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple will release the iPhone 5 on 3 major US carriers in mid-October. AT&T, Verizon, and surprise player Sprint are on the list to carry the iPhone 5.

This news comes just after Reuters reported this morning that the iPhone 5 will be available by the end of September.
