iPhone4 vs. HTC Evo
HILARIOUS
Skype Mobile
Last month I wrote a post announcing that Verizon teamed up with Skype to create Skype Mobile. After a month of waiting, the application finally launched yesterday. It allows you to do everything Skype does except for the video chat of course. But with this application you can do instant messaging, call other Skype users from your phone at no additional cost (even if they’re international), and even call land lines using money you have on your Skype account.
I decided to download it and give it a try. Instant messaging was no problem of course, but then I tried calling BFFiHK (who of course is in Hong Kong…in case you didn’t get that. Lol). When I asked him how the sound quality was when I called him he said “perfectly clear, but very digital”. To be honest I was a little surprised at his response. I know some people were thinking that it wasn’t going to be very clear and that the sound quality wasn’t going to be up to par, but I think this app is definitely an easy way to call internationally at no additional cost. Yea you can do that from Skype on your computer, but this is MOBILE. Use it anywhere you are.
Unfortunately this app’s only available for Verizon Blackberry and Android phones. If you’re lookin to switch over, holla at me! Lol
The Droid & Droid Eris
I can’t get into too much detail about this since it’s technically not out yet, but tomorrow Motorola’s Droid phone launches in all Verizon Wireless retail stores along with HTC’s Droid Eris. I’ve never played with a Google Android phone until recently and I have to say that the Motorola Droid is pretty dope. The Eclair software (Android 2.0 OS) has some advantages over the Cupcake software (Android 1.5 OS) but they’re both pretty responsive. The Android software allows you to create your own apps for your mobile device and also share your apps in the Android Market (to find out more about that, check out android.com).
Motorola Droid
HTC Eris
I have to say that this is probably one of the biggest launches for VZDub and I get the privilege of being at work at 6am for it. Yay…so for all you tech savvy people that are planning on getting it, make sure you get there early. Unlike our Storm launch last year, we’re ready and lines are expected. First come first serve! Doors open at 7am!
See you bright and early in the morning!
Google x VZW= iDon’t
From a marketing perspective this iDon’t campaign is pretty good. There’s a lot of talk about it and everyone and their mama is coming into the store asking when we’re getting the android phone and what it’s going to look like. I really don’t know what it looks like or when it’s coming out but I assume soon considering they’re starting to advertise. I think this pretty much sums up the rumors about the iPhone coming to VZW, but you never know. I’m thinking 2011 for that one.

PS- Get ready for VZW having 4G next summer!
