Verizon Wireless has developed a loyal following among cell phone subscribers who value a nationwide network with broad coverage, even in rural areas. Now the network ranked best overall by many publications has introduced unlimited In Calling (free calls to any other Verizon subscriber) with its most popular cellular plans.
Wirefly has published a "Schmackdown" between the HTC Thunderbolt and the HTC EVO 4G. The Thunderbolt is essentially a souped-up version of the EVO.
But, if you're an EVO fan looking to switch to Verizon, now's the time.

According to several blogs, a Best Buy leak shows the launch date for the HTC Thunderbolt to be Feb. 14. The Thunderbolt is essentially the EVO running on Verizon's 4G-LTE network. In other words, it will be the fastest, baddest phone on the market with the Sprint EVO a close second.
That reign won't last long, however, as a slew of faster 4G phones are skedded to hit the market in the next few months.
The Verizon Wireless battle now is clearly a decision of the HTC Thunderbolt vs. the iPhone. Click that link to see how they stack up against each other.

Several of our readers have asked us how the new Motorola DROID 2 compares to the recently released DROID X. Of course, the most obvious (and probably biggest) difference between the DROID 2 and DROID X is the difference in display size. The DROID X has a large 4.3 inch display, while the DROID 2 has a substantially smaller (but still nicely sized) 3.7 inch display.
Despite a number of differences beyond display size that certainly define each phone -- think QWERTY keyboard and camera -- the DROID 2 and DROID X are also pretty similar in a good number of ways. How similar? Well, check out this comprehensive DROID 2 vs. DROID X comparison chart.
