If you're a Verizon Wireless customer and have been waiting for the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 ever since it was announced at CTIA 2008, today's your day. You can now get the smartphone online for about $220 with a two-year contract ...

At the CTIA tradeshow last month, Verizon promised to add three smartphones to its roster, and so far it has introduced only one of these. However, unconfirmed reports say this will change in the near future.

The original HTC Touch, released as a GSM phone last June, was one of my favorites and a top seller worldwide. It had incredible good looks, was very small for a PDA phone and it had HTC's then new TouchFLO UI with a screen optimized ...

Verizon’s version of the HTC Touch is small, sumptuous and one of the least geeky looking PDA phones on the market. It’s nearly identical to the Sprint Touch, varying only in color and software customizations. The 4 ounce … ...

Rumor: Following up on the Centro appearing on a Verizon rebate form article from two weeks ago, Engadget Mobile has posted an advance set of press images showing a Palm Centro with Verizon branding and applications.

The images reveal that Verizon will offer the Blue version, which was recently released in Mexico. It's unknown whether the Verizon will carry additional colors.

It seems to be palm's intention to get the its Centro smartphone on as many wireless carriers as it can, and evidence is growing that it's about to add another to this list: Verizon.

A CDMA version of the HTC Touch is now available at Verizon Wireless under the less-than-exciting XV6900 moniker.

Specifications include:

Windows Mobile 6 Professional

Qualcomm MSM7500 processor

256MB ROM

128MB RAM

2.8" 240x320 16-bit QVGA display

TouchFLO® technology allows finger and stylus input

EV–DO & 1X RTT

Bluetooth 2.0

2.0 megapixel auto-focus camera

microSD slot

Speakerphone

Dimensions: 3.98" (H) x 2.35" (W) x 0.56" (D)

Weight: 3.95 ounces

1100 mAh Li–Ion battery (up to 210 minutes usage time; up to 250 hours stand-by)

There's also an 1880 mAh extended battery available with up to 360 minutes usage time or 427 hours stand-by.

Unfortunately, there's no word on whether a Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade will be available.

Verizon Wireless has just begun offering a data plan aimed at attracting more consumers to its Windows Mobile smartphones.

Rumor: It's looking more likely that we could see a Verizon Centro soon. Engadget Mobile is citing insider information on a Verizon Centro release date and the folks at TreoCentral have also recently dug up some scraps of supporting evidence as well.

Engadget Mobile cites an unnamed source that claims the Centro will debut on Verizon sometime in the end of May or beginning of June.

Verizon officially announced the release date of the HTC Touch (aka XV6900), as April 16th, 2008. The Verizon version of the phone - Alltel and Sprint already have it - will include GPS supported by Verizon’s VZ Navigator mapping ...

Both Windows Mobiles sport keyboards, but the XV6800 strikes us as a full-fledged PDA that also happens to be a phone, and the SMT5800 - a candybar-style slider - as more of a phone with all the added functionality of a PDA.

Last week, Verizon announced plans to offer the XV6900, but wouldn't commit to a release date. Now comes word that this Windows Mobile smartphone will launch April 16.

Both Verizon and A&T will use their recently acquired 700 MHz spectrum -- for which they are paying billion in license fees -- for their fourth generation wireless networks using the LTE (Long Term Evolution) standard.

AT&T is stepping up the branding and will be re-branding the internet-based TeleNav navigation service on its line of phones to be called AT&T Navigator. This is in line with what competitor Verizon Wireless has been doing with the Verizon Navigator service.

The new AT&T Navigator service will officially make its debut on the new Motorola Z9 slider phone.

Bad news Google fans, the search giant wasn't the high bidder in the FCC's recent auction, so won't be setting up a nationwide wireless data network. Instead, Verizon has gained a large additional chunk of spectrum.

One of Verizon Wireless' Windows Mobile smartphones is the SMT5800, which includes 3G and both a keyboard and numberpad. Adama D. Brown brings us this review.

Fer amount is 122.50 and you can pay by PayPal. I suspect that my username is my cellnumber verizon.

The SMT5800 is Verizon Wireless' first Windows Mobile 6 Standard smartphone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. It is manufactured by HTC and is the CDMA cousin of the S730. The SMT5800 fits very nicely in the palm of you hand, yet at 4.2 ounces delivers a lot of performance with a QUALCOMM MSM7500 400MHz processor and access to Verizon Wireless' EVDO broadband network. It is however one of the few new smartphones without WiFi. Let's see how well it performs on Verizon's network. Read on for the video series!

The Good

Great one-handed operation

Excellent memory management

EVDO with PC tethering option

The Bad

EVDO PC tethering requires USB cable

No GPS or WiFi

A real-world Internet test reveals that "intelligent" routing of peer-to-peer traffic can drastically reduce network utilization and speed up downloads for subscribers, according to a new study.

Verizon Communications, which participated in the study headed by researchers at Yale University, plans to release the data on Friday at the Distributed Computing Industry Association's P2P Market Conference in New York City. ...

Treonauts answered a user's question regarding how to send a text message (SMS) without a text plan enabled. Essentially, if you have a data plan for internet and email and don't want to spend extra money on purchasing a text messaging bundle or pay for per message use of text, there are two options:

The first is to send an email to your recipient(s) using the following format as suggested by Treonauts:

AT&T: phonenumber @txt.att.net
Sprint: phonenumber @messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile: phonenumber @tmomail.net
Verizon: phonenumber @vtext.com
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber @vmobl.com

phonenumber = the 10 digit phone number you want to message

(For example 3105552244 @vtext.com if you’re contacting someone on Verizon Wireless)

Similar rules for phonenumber @carrier.xyz may apply to non-US-based carriers as well and you may check with the network or do a search for what the address is to send.

The second option applies when you don't know the recipient's carrier. For instance you aren't sure if the receiver of the message is on AT&T or Verizon Wireless. In this case, you can go to a site called FlipOut and sign up for their free service. After you sign ...
