The very first modern Nokia tablet will be arriving in the form of the Nokia Lumia 2520, and it’ll be hitting both the likes of AT&T and Verizon here in the United States. With Verizon, the tablet has been announced today as coming on the 21st of November and offered in both on- and off-contract […]
If you were planning on getting your hands on Nokia’s latest Windows tablet, the Lumia 2520, you might be interested to learn that Verizon has officially announced the tablet’s availability for the 21st of November, a day ahead of AT&T’s own offering which is set for the 22nd of November. The tablet will be priced for $499 but if you don’t mind being tied down to a contract with Verizon, the tablet can had for $100 cheaper, but as to whether you think that’s a good deal or not is really up to you.
We knew the Lumia 2520 would be arriving on Verizon although we did not know when. We had heard the rumors that Verizon and Nokia were planning on launching the Lumia 929 on the 21st of November alongside the Lumia 2520, so it looks like at least half of that rumor panned out. Still no word on the Lumia 929, but presumably since that is a new device, Verizon and Nokia will want to deal with its announcement separately. The Lumia 2520 will be Nokia’s first foray into the modern tablet scene and it will be interesting to see if the Finnish company’s reputation will be able attract customers to the device, despite the somewhat bad rep that Window RT devices have been getting.

Verizon isn’t going to let AT&T hog all the Lumia 2520 buyers this weekend — it just announced that it will start selling Nokia’s Windows RT tablet on November 21st, one day before the device is available at AT&T. Pricing will remain the same at $500 contract-free or $400 on a two-year term, but Verizon is sweetening its deal by offering a carrier-appropriate red model to online shoppers; retail customers will have to be content with black. There’s no word on 2520 variants for other carriers, but it’s good to know that Americans will have at least some choice in networks when picking up Nokia’s LTE-equipped slate.

Coming off a rather long testing phase, Isis Mobile Wallet has launched nationwide today. The digital wallet service is arriving with support from three of the big four US carriers and basically means users will be able to make mobile payments with their NFC-equipped smartphone. The catch of course, having a supported device and finding […]
The iPad mini with Retina display was released a couple of days ago and according to previous reports, there was a good chance that would-be customers could face delays in getting their device due to production issues which Apple is working hard to solve. Well the bad news is that if you did not already order your iPad mini with cellular capabilities from either Verizon or AT&T, you might be in for a wait as both carriers have indicated that they are backordered on the cellular versions of the iPad mini with Retina display.
As far as Verizon is concerned, they state that they expect the iPad mini with Retina display to ship by the 25th of November, meaning that customers have a little under two weeks of waiting. However for AT&T, it seems that their subscribers are in for an even longer wait as the carrier has listed that the tablet with cellular capabilities will ship in 21-28 business days, meaning that if you were planning on getting this as a Christmas present, you could be cutting it pretty damn close. It is expected that Apple might have trouble meeting demand for the holiday season, but if you’re not too fussed and don’t mind waiting, hopefully this should clear up in the next month or two.

Just the other day Verizon announced that they would be dropping the price of the Moto X handset to a mere $99.99 on contract. Well it turns out that for whatever reason, Verizon has decided to discount the Moto X even further and if you were to hit up Verizon’s website, you’d be able to get your hands on the device for an even more affordable $49.99. This offer is apparently via the Moto Maker website as well and the $50 discount will be done when you are reaching the checkout section, so don’t worry if it still lists the price at $99.99!
Like we said we don’t know why Verizon is discounting the Moto X shortly after its first price cut. It has been speculated that perhaps the poor sales of the Moto X could have been the reason behind this price cut, with Motorola not selling as many units as they had intended, perhaps a reduction in price would entice users further. When the handset was first announced, it came with a price tag which was surprisingly high for a handset with its specs, although given its unique features and almost-stock Android, we guess Motorola was hoping that would have been enough to justify its price. In any case with the device priced at $49.99 with a new 2-year contract, will you be picking up the handset for yourself?

Earlier today Motorola finally unveiled the Moto G smartphone. Its a mid-range Android device that has a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and a 4.5 inch HD display. Motorola has competitively priced the Moto G, offering the 8GB variant for $179 off contract. The 16GB model will be available for $199, SIM-free. Verizon has confirmed that it will carry the device for its prepaid customers. The carrier announced via Twitter that it will have the Moto G available for prepaid customers in Q1, 2014. That’s quite a vague timeframe, but one that rests between the first few months of next year.
Motorola has launched the device already in Brazil and the U.K. The Moto G will be available in Canada and additional regions in Europe in the coming weeks. U.S. and India are slated to receive it early next year. Even Motorola has not provided a concrete release date for the Moto G in the U.S. Moto G will run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box, but the company says that Android 4.4 KitKat will be rolled out for it in the first few months of 2014. Customers looking to switch to Verizon without having to sign a contract will have an enticing option in the shape of the Moto G, which will be a relatively affordable prepaid option.

This November those wishing to roll forward with the BlackBerry 10 universe will be able to see it happen on the biggest and most powerful handset ever to run the operating system.

After weeks of endless speculation and leaks, Verizon finally confirmed late last month that it is going to launch the BlackBerry Z30 later this month. At that time Big Red did not give a concrete release date for the device. BlackBerry’s new phablet is exclusive to Verizon in the U.S. and today the carrier announced when it will be available to current and prospective customers. Verizon BlackBerry Z30 will be available for purchase through the carrier’s website on November 14th, the device costs $199.99 with a two year contract. Eligible customers will also have the option to purchase the device on Verizon Edge plan for 24 equal monthly payments of $22.91.
BlackBerry announced the Z30 back in September, its the company’s first BB10 powered phablet that has a 5 inch HD display. Other specifications are mostly similar to the Z10 and the Q10. Seeing as how its a Verizon exclusive in the U.S., Big Red’s variant comes with an additional feature. Its 2,880mAh battery supports wireless charging, the battery on its own is said to be good for 25 hours of mixed usage. So if you’ve been keeping an eye out for BlackBerry’s new phablet, now would be the time to mark that calendar of yours. BlackBerry OS 10.2 will be pre-installed on the device.
