This may not be the device you were hoping Verizon would announce, but look on the bright side: at least we know Verizon hasn’t forgotten how to announce a device. Okay, not really a bright side but in Verizon’s defense… I’ve got nothing.

Well, if you’ve been holding on to that upgrade, just waiting for a white version of the DROID RAZR, then tomorrow’s your lucky day. Verizon has announced the availability of its new “flashy colored” DROID RAZR, which will begin selling tomorrow for $299 both online and at retail stores. There’s nothing new about the device other than the color but Verizon is quick to point out that they got this device out “Just in time for the holidays.” Really Verizon? You were worried about getting this out in time for the holidays but you’re still dragging your feet on the most anticipated device of the year?

For those of you who are in fact interested in the white DROID RAZR, Verizon is offering a limited time offer of $100 off a DROID XYBOARD tablet when you purchase one with a new two-year customer agreement. That may be something to consider if you also had your eyes on one of the newly released DROID XYBOARD tablets.

That’s it! Nothing more to see here. Still no ‘official’ announcement on the Galaxy Nexus. For more information on the White DROID RAZR hit the presser below.

My sharpie is starting to fade from marking up my calendar with all these possible Galaxy Nexus launch dates — but hey, what’s one more. A Best Buy inventory system image obtained by Engadget shows an In Stock Date of 12-11-2011 for the long overdue Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Does this mean the rumored December 8th launch is now off the table? Nah, but anything’s possible. Let’s not forget, this is Best Buy, you know, the same Best Buy set to sell the Nexus Prime. You’ll notice a lot of discrepancies and missing information on the inventory screen such as Street Date and device weight/size.

I have to admit, at this point, I really don’t care. My excitement for this device has fizzled and by the time it actually does launch, I’ll probably be broke from Christmas shopping, so it really doesn’t matter. Who knows, maybe Santa will bring me one — I mean, he does wear a red suit and all. Ho, Ho, Ho — here we go again.

Rogers Wireless, which is one of the leading and largest mobile phone networks in Canada, recently launched the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, which is no doubt an amazing device. Rogers actually launched the device for $199.99 with a new 3-yr contract but if you didn’t buy it yet because you were hoping for a price drop, then it’s time to celebrate because the device just received its first ever price drop. The device is now available for $179.99 on a 3-yr contract, saving you $20. Well, Rogers didn’t mention any good reason for the price drop, maybe the holiday season is close and that’s why, or maybe they are doing it to compete with Bell’s LTE devices. Anyway, we don’t know the real reason but we know that saving some money isn’t going to hurt anyone.

So are you planning to pick one up from Rogers? Tell us about it in the comment box below.

Just two weeks ago, T-Mobile officially announced the T-Mobile Springboard as well as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. We all know that Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the best Android tablets available in the market right now, whereas the Springboard is yet another cheap Android tablet offering some good specs with a “sweet” price. Now T-Mobile has officially announced the launch date of both tablets but as usual left out the pricing. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available starting Nov. 2 and it will be one of the biggest launches by T-Mo so far, while the T-Mobile Springboard will be out on Nov. 9.

Anyway, at least we know when the tablets are coming out. Who’s planning to grab one of these wonderful tablets from T-Mobile next month? Tell us about it in the comment box below.

It’s at this point that I turn my attention to Sprint customers, and give them a thumbs-up, signifying the beginning of celebration. That’s right, you might be getting some Galaxy Nexus love as well, according to a leaked shipping list. The list has one single item on it: a poster advertising the “Nexus Prime,” which we all know as the Galaxy Nexus. Now, we have to stress that this isn’t concrete, and it could just be something fabricated, so we advise everyone to take it with a grain of salt until more information comes in.

So, what can we infer from this rumor, other than the fact that Sprint apparently uses UPS Ground shipping? Well, if it is indeed true, the Now Network will be getting the Galaxy Nexus in the near future, most likely with some form of 4G connectivity. Keep in mind that Sprint is planning a switch to LTE by 2013, so they may release the device with LTE onboard. Again, this is all smoke and mirrors at the moment, but it’s nice to dream, isn’t it?

So, do we have any Sprint customers out there that are holding off for a possible Galaxy Nexus? Anyone not impressed with the device? Sound off in the comments below!

Clove Technology (who I’ll admit I’ve never heard of before today) have just announced via their Twitter that they are taking pre-orders for the upcoming Galaxy Nexus. They’ll be selling the handset sim free for £429 + VAT (£514.80) and expect stock to arrive at the beginning of November. Clove also confirm that there will not be a 32GB version on the UK market at this stage, sorry folks.

If you’re too impatient to wait then hit up the source link and get that pre order down. As for myself I’m going to wait until closer to release in hope of the price changing (although having just re-checked their Twitter feed apparently that’s the confirmed price). I can’t wait to get my hands on this device, even though us Brits will only have the option of 16GB I don’t mind. I’ve yet to run out of space on my Nexus S and with most Google services moving to the cloud I doubt I’ll reach it on the Galaxy Nexus.

Let us know in the comments below if you’re thinking of pre-ordering from Clove.

Best Buy has been added to the growing catalog of, well… catalogs compiled and curated by TheFind.com.  Effective this coming Sunday, September 25th, the Best Buy weekly circular will be found in the same place as Crate & Barrel, Nordstrom, and William-Sonoma.  In fact, there are more than 160 catalogs with upwards of a bajillion products found on TheFind.com and its Android application.  We’d love to see other retailers added to TheFind as it could be an invaluable tool come Black Friday!  Are you listening, Toys R Us, Sears, Target, Radio Shack, Walmart….?

In a related note, the Android app has new usability features which make it easier to search for a specific catalog.  Download it for free on Android devices running 2.2 or higher, including some tablets.

Samsung recently announced their U.S. variants of the Galaxy S II for T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint. Then late last month, Sammy officially launched the LTE version of the Galaxy S II, which is slightly bigger and better than the original GSII. Canadian carrier Rogers Wireless is now gearing up to launch the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE in Canada, and they are planning to launch it on Sept. 20. Users in Toronto and Ottawa will be able to get their hands on it before anyone else.  Have a look at a statement from Rogers:

Customers in Toronto and Ottawa can be among the first in the world to experience LTE wireless devices when the company continues to roll out its LTE product line this fall.  It includes:  the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Smartphone; the LTE Rocket mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 754S); Rogers LTE Rocket stick (now available in Ottawa); LTE Tablet from a leading manufacturer; and the previously announced HTC Smartphone.

No word on pricing, but we expect it to run around $200-$250. So, is anyone in Canada planning to pick up a Galaxy S II next week? Drop a comment below!
