Omnia for Verizon?

This is an interesting turn of events, if it proves to be true.  With all of the speculation about if and when Samsung would bring their Windows Mobile powerhouse, the Omnia, to AT&T, nobody stopped to think about a CDMA version of the device.  Nobody, it seems, except Samsung and Verizon Wireless.According to this rebate form posted on HowardForums and later found on Engadget Mobile, Big Red is prepping a VZW-branded Omnia to...

MOTO Krave ZN4

I'm "at" the Motorola Virtual Press Conference where they're launching the Krave ZN4 for Verizon.  No surprise here, as this device was leaked far and wide.  But it still sounds pretty interesting - it's a flip phone with a touchscreen and an "interactive flip."  Apparently the clear plastic flip cover has touch controls so you can access frequently used functions without opening the device up. Krave looks like it's going to...

Mini-Review: BlackBerry 8220

The first ever flip BlackBerry is a winner, so long as you play to its strengths.  While the 8220 is very large for a modern day flip phone, it's lightweight and slick looking enough to trick you into thinking it's a little smaller than it really is.  I've had the 8220 for just under a week now, and I very quickly grew used to carrying it around in my pocket.  No, it's not as thin as a RAZR or as small as a low-end sliderphone,...

Tips & Tricks

Better Signal: Verizon

Lane Jensen in Oregon here and I have a great trick that works for all Verizon phones to get better signal. First, you need to be within about a 5-10 mile radius of where you are going to use your phone the most. Secondly, instead of dialing the normal *228 for activation, dial *22899 and it will take you instantly to the programming music and update your phone. No more having to go through the prompt and listening to the same old voice saying,...
