Verizon Explains What Unified Communications and Collaboration Is
by Christine T on Feb 08, 2012 1 Comments">1
In lieu of Verizon Wireless’ Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC), a video has been released by the company. This video describes how UCC will simplify each user’s work experience, as well as prepare them for a future which is more secure. While watching the clip, it is still hard to tell if there’s anything new we will be seeing from Verizon. From the looks of it, Big Red only seemed to term wireless unity as ‘UCC.’ Prior to Verizon’s UCC, other platforms have already made its features available—including cloud based computing and storage, email, chat, and video conferencing. But compared …

VoLTE or Voice over LTE is something Verizon has been trying to implement in their LTE network for a while now. They realize that the future is all about using voice over the data pipeline, and they want to be the first in the US to do it. But to do that they need chips that are able to achieve that in a very efficient way, and Qualcomm is the first to make that happen. Many might not realize this, but Qualcomm used to be a company that was a lot more known for their telecommunications business than for their …

The Razr Maxx almost never became as there was considerable hesitation from both Motorola and Verizon …

by Alexander Maxham on Jan 20, 2012 1 Comments">1
In case it wasn’t enough for Verizon to cover most of the US with their 4G LTE network, it looks as if they are planning to rollout a VoLTE network nationwide early next year. Let’s explain exactly what VoLTE is. VoLTE is Voice-Over-LTE. This date is a bit later then what Verizon had announced at Mobile World Congress in 2011.

According to Catharine Trebnick, VP at Northland Capital Markets, “VZW has two cities now trialing VoLTE and plans for national rollout …

At this point, we’re not sure just how many people will be affected by this change, but after three years it’s time.

by Alexander Maxham on Jan 16, 2012 9 Comments">9
Last week AT&T and Samsung finally unveiled the much rumored and anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T’s 4G LTE network.

This 5.3-inch phone-tablet hybrid device is not for everyone, but for those of us who love bigger screens it is for us, I know I want it. With no official announcement from Samsung or any …

by Brandon Sobotta on Jan 12, 2012 11 Comments">11
Two of Motorola’s big announcements at CES 2012 were the Droid 4 (D4) and the Droid Razr Maxx (DRM). These two phones are similar in many aspects, but they are separated by one key factor: the keyboard. Without looking at any other features of these phones, this can be the ultimate decision maker for many. But if your looking beyond this, there are some other differences that may sway you one way or the other when deciding which to buy (these I will cover below). The Specs Cpu and GPU Processors/Ram The D4 and the DRM each have the TI …

Yesterday Verizon and Motorola finally put an end to the many rumors we have seen and heard about the Droid 4. Announcing it along with the Droid Razr Maxx, and the Droid Razr coming in purple. Well this newly leaked price map shows us that the Droid Razr will be dropped down to $199 – not that big of a surprise, and that the Droid 4 will be on sale for $249.
