Sprint has announced availability and pricing for the highly anticipated U.S. launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note II. Beginning October 25, Sprint will offer the Samsung Galaxy Note II for $299.99 with a 2-year commitment. The Galaxy Note II was unveiled back in August at the Samsung Unpacked event in Berlin and was said to hit all U.S. carriers by mid-November.

We’re only days away from the release of the DROID RAZR HD and if you were thinking about picking one up from Verizon, you might want to consider the deal Costco has instead. If you happen to be a Costco member or know someone who is, you might want to think about ordering your DROID RAZR HD from them as they are offering up quite the bundle.

AT&T has announced pricing and availability for the LG Optimus G, their first ever LTE quad-core smartphone. The LG Optimus G is set to hit stores on November 2 for $199.99 (2-year contract), however, those of you who hate having to go out can pre-order one starting tomorrow. This marks LG’s attempt for a big comeback in the smartphone arena and we’re dying to see how the Optimus G stacks up.

Verizon has come out and confirmed an October 18 launch date for the Motrola DROID RAZR HD and RAZR MAX HD. I’m expecting a full onslaught of marketing to accompany these devices as Verizon seems partial to the RAZR line. The next iteration of the RAZR line will feature similar specs, with the only distinguishable advantage being the larger battery and storage available in the RAZR MAXX HD (which I find lame of Motorola).

Atrix 2 users woke up to a nice surprise today. AT&T has decided to finally treat Atrix 2 users to Ice Cream Sandwich. The update, which began today, will bump up Atrix 2 users from that tired ol’ Gingerbread and have their device feeling brand spanking new.
