Wired trashes Verizon smartphone line-up

Commentary — Tags: , , , , — editor @ 11:37 pm on September 19, 2009

In a new article by Wired Magazine, writer Priya Ganapati trashes the Verizon smartphone line-up by posing the question “Why does the U.S. carrier known for the best network have the worst smartphones?”.

From the article:
“They lack the star products that their competitors have,” says Avi Greengart, research director, consumer devices for Current Analysis. “They recognize they don’t have compelling devices right now but feel they can make up for it with network quality.

With the Storm and Tour on Verizon, what is Wired trying to say? Let us know what you think with a comment!

OS 4.7.1.53 for the Tour pulled!

It appears OS 4.7.1.53, officially rolled out yesterday, has been pulled. Some have speculated that users were experiencing errors in the upgrade process, and that RIM has taken it down for some investigation.

For those of us on OS 5.0, this isn’t very interesting news; but for those that only install official OS’s, you may be upset. This would have been the first official update available by Verizon for the Tour, forcing users to wait even longer to get a much needed update.

Stay tuned for updates about this release, and we will let you know when the update is available again.
