Looks like Big Red is out for blood after tremendous consumer backlash put the kibosh on their plans to charge customers a $2 “convenience fee” to pay their bill. We would have been better off surrendering our $2 because now Verizon is pulling the ol’ “upgrade fee out of a hat” trick. That’s right, starting April 22, Verizon customers can expect to pay $30 for the privilege of purchasing a new device while signing over their souls for the next two years.
While everyone else is looking forward to the high-end HTC One X, T-Mobile is expecting the middle child HTC One S in a couple weeks. According to leaked internal slides, the HTC One S is set to launch April 25th and continues the trend of T-Mobile’s lackluster offerings. While the One S certainly isn’t a bad device, it’s not the One X, and it would have been nice if T-Mobile was carrying both.
HTC is extremely proud of the new EVO 4G LTE and wants to give consumers an inside look at what went into designing this soft touch, hairline finished, kickstand beast of a phone. It’s a neat look into the design process and shows that they don’t just slap on any old chassis and call it a day. There’s been a lot of complaints about the glossy top half on the back of the device as most users seem to prefer the soft touch, but we’ll have to wait until we actually have it in our hands before we can make an official judgement.
It’s been a long time coming, and many of you have waited patiently while the rest of you well… didn’t. If you own a Sprint Nexus S 4G, you can now officially join the Ice Cream Sandwich club thanks to an update rolling out now. Sprint has announced software update IMM76D (Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich), bringing the much anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich and all of its tasty treats:
Yesterday, Ice Cream Sandwich was supposed to roll out to Motorola’s RAZR and RAZR MAXX on Verizon, according to a shot of Best Buy’s internal system. However as you’ve probably noticed, April 4th passed with no update in sight. Today we have another look at Best Buy’s internal systems, which confirms that the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the RAZR and RAZR MAXX has been delayed.
