UPDATE:

It appears there’s been a misunderstanding over the current situation of who really is #1! After speaking with PR Reps from Verizon Wireless, there is a difference between the number of actual subscribers, and machine to machine users on the carrier’s respective networks. It appears, according to Verizon’s statistics, that they are indeed on top!

Here’s quick listing of stats provided by Verizon and noted in a recent article by ComputerWorld

— Customers excluding connections:  94M for Verizon vs. 86M for AT&T

— Customers including connections: 102.2M for Verizon vs. 95.5M AT&T

We have yet to hear from AT&T regarding this.

For months now users of AT&T have asked why aren’t there more high end Android devices available? Most of us imagine it’s because of the iPhone popularity, which is probably going to change soon. With AT&T no longer having the iPhone all to themselves, they are finally putting more focus on Android devices.

At CES, AT&T announced several top-of-the-line Android devices. Shortly following CES, during a conference call, CEO Randall Stephenson stated that “AT&T is going to be a heavy participant in the Android market this year.” He also stated that AT&T would have more focus on not only Android phones but tablets as well.

Do you currently have AT&T? Were you one of the customers waiting for a higher end device? If so, let us know what you think in the comments box below.

Android Central has gotten their hands on proof that the HTC Thunderbolt will support simultaneous Voice and data, meaning you can browse the web while in a call. Yes, you will be able that is! Remember that’s only where 4G is available. This was one of the main questions AT&T customers wanted to know and from what I hear, if Verizon got it, they’d consider switching. Well, it’s happening so what’s going to happen now?

What nobody knows yet is when this device will be available? When the date is realeased we will be back to let you all know. For now, leave us your comments in the box below and let us know how you feel about this.

So you and Verizon are happy to be getting Windows Phone 7 right? Well now we know what they will have available soon for Microsoft Employees to pre-order only as of now. It is rumored to be a quad-band phone, which would allow you to roam to GSM networks around the world. Something Verizon is pushing for so we hear.

It will be featuring a 3.8 screen, a 5mega pixel camera and 16 GB of storage loving space. Top that with a 802.11 b/g/n network card and what do we have? Hmmm a remixed Trophy! To add it seems if you are a Microsoft’s adorable worker you get to have it with a free leather case and car charger too. How about you add some general love Microsoft! The cost is $199.99 with new contract and it is to be released 2011 as you can see in the flyer provided by Verizon Wireless. So still no CDMA love yet, but I am sure that there will be lots when it does hit our market.

So Verizon customers, will this pull you from the Droid saga that is going on in Verizon world?  How do you feel about this lay out of phone, and does it help that it will be a World Phone? Let us Know!

In a previous story this month we talked about a company manufacturing CDMA iPhones.  Well the latest is a story out of Bloomberg stating the iPhone will be on VZW in January 2011.

“Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone company, will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone next year, ending AT&T Inc.’s exclusive hold on the smartphone in the U.S., two people familiar with the plans said.

The device will be available to customers in January, according to the people, who declined to be named because the information isn’t public.”

Remember, converting an iPhone from GSM to CDMA is not easy, so that’s probably what is taking so long.  Also, if you recall, ATT let you upgrade to the iPhone 4 six months early, so they are really trying to lock people into contracts, perhaps on the heels of a VZW release?

It has been widely rumored that ATT and Apple renegotiated their contract to allow ATT to get all of the iPhone 4 contracts they could, then a few months later VZW would release a version.  Our very own Courtney1985, who works for Verizon, has also confirmed this.

I personally know a lot of people who love the iPhone but hate ATT.  Even on these forums, it seems over half the iComplaints are because of ATT and not iPhone related at all.

Apple also may need to address the signal problems we’ve all heard about so hopefully the VZW version will be free of it.

If the iPhone 4 comes to VZW, will you be getting one?  You could actually receive calls and not have them drop every other minute!  VZW stands to make a lot of money on this, as we know the iPhone 4 sold 1.7 million units in 3 days, even with all the ordering problems people faced.
