It's all about Android for Verizon Wireless

Even though Verizon may eventually get the Apple iPhone, my prediction is that Android will surpass the iPhone by the time that happens. We're seeing such a huge uptake of Android smartphones, especially as more manufacturers release devices. HTC, Motorola, and now even Dell has announced the Mini 3 Android smartphone (although I don't think they will release a CDMA version for Verizon).

HTC XV6800

The HTC XV6800 is a great smartphone! So many ROM developers built custom ROMs for the HTC Titan (XV6800, Sprint Mogul) and there were so many dedicated users who have been active participants on forums like the XDA Developers, PPC Geeks, etc.

Now, the big question is my mind is this: what smartphone will XV6800 users choose when it comes time to upgrade?

Let's assume that users will maintain loyalty to HTC. Will they stick with Windows Mobile? Or will they switch to Android? HTC has some great Windows Mobile and Android phones coming out in 2010, so get excited!

Who still uses the XV6800?

The XV6800 used to be my main smartphone. It was great to have access to some nice custom ROM packages that were built on Windows Mobile 6.1 and Windows Mobile 6.5

I'm wonder who still uses the XV6800? (AKA HTC Titan, Sprint Mogul, etc.)

Happy New Year!

As we enter 2010, let's see what types of new smartphones Verizon will release on its network. I'm particularly excited about the Android smartphones, but I think it will also be great to see the Apple iPhone and the Palm Pre running webOS.

The Motorola Droid is the thinnest QWERTY slider

The Motorola Droid is the thinnest QWERTY slider.

The web is richer. Photos are sharper. Videos pop. It has the most advanced browser and Android 2.0 software with a blazing-fast processor and 3G speed for faster search. It has the world's thinnest QWERTY slider at 13.7mm. It can help you navigate turn-by-turn. It has a 5MP camera with a flash, plus loads of great camera features and a DVD-quality recorder to capture all the richer, bigger, wider experiences you're going to have.

It's the phone with the "Hi" IQ.

Get a Free Droid Eris (Double Your Droid)

Get a free HTC Droid Eris if you buy a Motorola Droid or an HTC Droid Eris. Wow, you can't beat that deal, can you? Verizon Wireless is currently having a special sale to help you "Double Your Droid."

Android OS 2.0.1 update for Droid

If you're using a Motorola Droid, have you updated your Android OS to 2.0.1? It's now available and you'll find some nice improvements with this update. To learn more, visit:

Best Verizon Smartphone

As smartphones evolve, which smartphone on the Verizon Wireless network is the "best" one?

Let's narrow this down based on the different smartphone operating systems first:

• Windows Mobile
• BlackBerry
• Android

We don't have anything that runs iPhone or webOS yet.

So, which smartphone is the best? In my opinion, it's still the HTC Touch Pro2 running Windows Mobile. Some may argue that it's the Motorola Droid running Android. BlackBerry lovers will all vote for the Storm 2. What do you think?

Samsung Omnia II is here!

That's right: Samsung Omnia II is now available

New Verizon smartphones coming this month

Are you excited about the new Verizon smartphones that will be appearing this month? We should see the Samsung Omnia 2. What else? Maybe we'll see something from RIM. A new BlackBerry? Will HTC come out with anything new? Maybe we'll finally see the Windows 6.5 ROM for the Touch Pro2.
