HTC Rezound spotted in a Verizon ad – coming in November

By Jeffrey Van Camp Published October 31, 2011

November is turning into a big month for Verizon LTE and Android. The Motorola Droid Razr is set to debut on Nov. 10, and the Google/Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rumored to launch on Nov. 17 and will be the first phone running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Well, it looks like a third dual-core 4G LTE Android device may be on the way: the HTC Rezound (also known as the HTC Vigor, in some rumors). Droid-Life has captured a somewhat deformed shot of the phone via a Verizon ad that went live too soon. In the image below, the Rezound stands by the Droid Bionic and LG Revolution as an LTE device. Beats headphones and branding appear to be present as well.

HTC has planned a press conference for Nov. 3 where we suspect the phone will be unveiled. It is rumored to have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and an 8MP camera. In other words, it should have comparable stats to the other high-end Android devices coming out this holiday like the HTC Amaze 4G, Droid Razr, Galaxy Nexus, etc. From the picture, it looks like it will also have red-face buttons.

If the phone looks a bit too fat or wide, keep in mind that this ad appears to be slightly distorted. The Droid Bionic and LG Revolution are not that wide.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
