LG and Verizon have had a pretty good relationship when it comes to the Big Red pushing their devices on their network. Given Verizon has yet to launch the rumored Samsung Galaxy Note (aka Galaxy “Journal”), it looks like LG is moving in for the kill, beating their South Korean rivals to the punch with their own 5.3 “phablet” (I prefer the term “phoneblet”). Images of the LG Optimus Vu with Verizon branding were leaked today, which didn’t come as much of surprise seeing how the phone was recently revealed in an FCC filing late last month.

Everything here is pretty much what we’ve seen from the Vu at Mobile World Congress 2012. The Vu’s claim to fame is its 5-inch 720p-ish IPS display which, may not sound too big to you, but keep in mind that’s a diagonal measurement of a phone with a 4:3 aspect ratio. What that means is you’re looking at a screen with an almost perfectly square display, making it look huge when compared to the long, rectangular 16:9 aspect ratio displays we’re currently used to. Inside the device is said to pack a Qualcomm S4 processor (with regular Adreno 220 GPU), 1GB of RAM, 8MP camera and comes running on LG’s new UI with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich underneath.

 Overall, I’d say the device is pretty sexy and sure to turn a few heads when on display next to the rest of Verizon’s Android lineup. A bit awkward, yes, but still interesting and powerful enough to handle all the media, apps and web browsing you can throw at it. I guess the real question is whether or not you’ll buy it with the Galaxy Note 2 launching later this year…

forbes.com : Nokia’s Lumia line could have a much bigger presence in the U.S. market soon. The company’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, Richard Kerris, revealed in an interview with Neowin that a Lumia device could soon be on its way to the nation’s largest wireless carrier, Verizon.

With AT&T and T-Mobile already offering the Lumia 900 and Lumia 710 respectively, adding Verizon could help Nokia’s addressable market in the U.S surge by more than 80%.
However, Nokia faces an uphill task against the two well-entrenched ecosystems of Apple and Google to create a niche for itself and Microsoft. Nonetheless, more carrier partnerships and better app support to drive the Lumia sales will be key to its resurgent hopes.
We have a $5 price estimate for Nokia, more than 50% ahead of the current market price.

Nokia has the carriers’ backing
The need for more competition in the smartphone market, not only in terms of hardware but also software, is being increasingly felt by both customers and carriers alike. A competitive third mobile ecosystem will increase the number of choices for customers and foster innovation in the industry. More competition will also put less burden on the carriers who are increasingly feeling the pinch of smartphone subsidies on their margins. It is no wonder therefore that wireless carriers in both the U.S. and China have jumped on Nokia’s latest offerings to counter the growing dominance of Android and iOS in both these markets.

In the U.S., AT&T is backing the Lumia, affording the phone a “hero” status at its stores and making it the exclusive free phone for all AT&T employees to generate awareness. This means that the Lumia is not only benefiting from a greater marketing push from its founding partners but also the second largest national carrier.
With recent reports about the Lumia 900 doing well at AT&T after the steady start at T-Mobile, Nokia’s U.S. plans seem to be working for now. Bringing in more CDMA-based carriers like Verizon and Sprint into its fold will be the next step in Nokia’s gradual plans to penetrate the U.S. market.

While Nokia doesn’t have a CDMA handset available in the U.S., it has already released one in China, the Lumia 800C, on China Telecom, and so it’s only a matter of time before the customized handsets are available on the CDMA networks in the U.S. as well. It is however likely that these will make an appearance only when the new Lumia devices on Windows Phone 8 are ready.

Verizon Wireless cell phones come in a variety of models, plus 3 g technology courses, and even though the carrier large stack install their mobile phones to BlackBerry for Verizon 4 g network are among the most popular brands available with a range of features, the more strictly defined as a Smartphone.

2 g technology is the most commonly used network technology of mobile phones. At present, more than 80% of mobile phone users worldwide use 2 g technology. One disadvantage of 2 or 3 technologies compares data rates are limited: it is relatively slower than lower data transfer with average speed 3 g a slower music and video downloads, problems with the production of a video conference, or for a long time to receive/send messages from mass media is waiting.This is the main reason for the development of new technologies such as 3 g network, the data transmission speed up to 2 Mbit/s provides (2 megabits per second).

A 3 g phone with white, this is far from the truth; It's actually almost never more than 384 kbit/S, Max.A new these days, 4 g, so-called developed technology allows data transmission speeds of 100 Mbit/s (50 times faster than today's 3 g today!) Outdoor and indoor 1Gbps rays.

So, what are the main characteristics of the 4 g technology?

-Wi-Fi with much wider band of 2 g or 3 g
-100 MHZ.
-Much higher data transfer rate
-up to 1 GB/s-video conference calls
-with more than 2 people and because prices swifter, less data transmission problems; Also not taken any will not so often, as with the 3 g.
-Improve safety features to prevent fraud and theft.
-Because of the bandwidth data transfers relatively CheapThere aren't enough information about 4 g is to compare technology with other technologies.

Without doubt it is probably cheaper, faster and better, but all users get the new machines, the compatible device (which will probably not cheap) meaning and waiting for new networks and antennas that would have gone with this new technology.

In any case of NTT DoCoMo, the Japanese company's work to bring 4 g technology in collaboration with HP, believes that the 4 g services (those only in Japan) started somewhere between 2010-2016 and is probably a few years later, that in the United States to ensure that we still have plenty of time to adapt and prepare.

Certain network, select your phone options is limited of course. -After selecting the current group, Sprint, Verizon, AT & t about on it, it will show only what you get phones that are on your network setup. Or perhaps if you have mapped the heart through a separate mobile phone, it is possible that offer such as networks, you should not forget that not all market segments around the world, have excellent reception so that you can limit, what will the phone finally ends.

The droid Bionic vs LG emerging trends is a perfect example. They are both 4 g, high speed Internet access. Both get together with more screens to large window Megapixel cameras, but there are some variations.

As the first buyer, received the choice a plan of "capitalization", if you have a mobile phone and to buy "Bucket" minutes. Jus say essentially only the minutes you use and nothing more to pay. Minutes are typically $ 0.10 and with Cingular, there is one two different funding programmes-where to get free calls from mobile to mobile and a barrel for $ 29.99 for 200 minutes (lower floor) without commitment (up to $ 69.99 600 minutes unlimited evenings and weekends and mobile mobile.)

All these plans have rollovers. Es minutes another where pay is only $ 1.00 per day for each day you use your phone and then $ 0.10 per minute for every minute that you are using. Is good types of plans for people who need their phone for emergency or occasional calls.

Verizon has EasyPay is also $ 50.00 per month for 300 minutes (low rpm) and do not have an unlimited amount of commitment and on weekends and nights. Will the minutes of EasyPay in the area that use EasyPay and you can pay for areas that are not part of the territory of roaming EasyPay. The amount of the payment to Verizon and $ 0.10 per minute, $ 0.99 per day for a day that use your phone is in pulse.Basically, the two institutions have a similar plan, and both have a special plan for capitalization.

Verizon phones for these plans range from $ 69.99 to $119,99 and three are available. Cingular has select multiple models for $ 29.99. All models of the two airlines phones are easy to use and are available models "Fantaisie" other type of service is very good for a Benutzer Die is the monthly, when you purchase or a free phone with a two-year commitment.
