  • Verizon Getting The Samsung Droid Prime (Nexus Prime) This October?

    It looks the Verizon won’t be getting the Galaxy S II after seeing all three US variants being pictured together. We would think the beefier Galaxy S II LTE would be heading to the big red but US’ largest carrier has plans to brings the Droid Prime (Nexus Prime) to it’s stores.

    According to BGR Verizon will be getting the Samsung SCH-i515 codenamed the Droid Prime sometime in October. Is the Droid Prime a variant of the Nexus Prime? They also said the firs Ice Cream Sandwich phone will be exclusive to Verizon for sometime, well that’s a bummer for all Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile customers.

    BGR also reported that Verizon believes the Galaxy S II (And the LTE version) can’t compete with the iPhone 5 so they went to something better.

  • China Telecom Wants Apple To Make Them A CDMA iPhone

    It seems at Asian carrier China Telecom is in direct talks with Apple regarding bringing the CDMA model of the iPhone to it’s whooping 216 million subscribers. Apple is currently serving only China Unicom and it’s 886 million customers just like it was previously doing with AT&T in the USA, If they can give Verizon the iPhone then why not China Telecom? 

    China Telecom’s chairman Wang Xiaochu told Reuters:

    We’re not denying that we’re in touch with iPhone (Apple), but I cannot comment on the progress.

    These “talks” could very well lead to something as Apple’s exclusivity agreement with China Unicom is set to expire later this year.
