    Update for Verizon

    As the owner of an Apple iPhone I assure you that the Google compatibility is also quickly being phased out as fast as Apple can. Maps and now Mail were integrated but now require downloads and don't have the same integration they used to. If you must have Google stuff then Android will be...

    Paul Thurott: Nokia is circling the drain. Surface Phone only hope.

    Well Donald, if you read between the lines,things are not quite so good at RIM. They did make a small profit last Q (9MM I think), but that was largely because of a tax settlement of $160MM...so really they lost a lot of money. They also lost subscribers for the first time...maybe a one-off but...

    HTC bring more exclusive apps for our phones!!!!!

    While I would also love to see more HTC content, we can't forget HTC is a hardware company, not a software company. Nokia has a lot more vested in the WP8 platform than HTC / Samsung / etc. and Microsoft has made a lot of development resources available to Nokia as part of their partnership. HTC...

    Nokia Drive on the 8X?

    My bet is HTC is licensing Nokia Drive for general navigation/maps functionality - and rebranding it as HTC Locations..possibly with one or two customizations as development funds permit.

    JBL PowerUp speakers for Nokia with the 8X

    Hi - I am thinking about getting the JBL speakers to use with a Verizon HTC 8X. I see in some other threads it apparently works, but my question is the JBL box says it works with some Nokia music app.....is that software also available on the HTC devices, and what exactly does it do? And I see...

    Anyone get a Red 8X recently?

    Just wondering how long you had to wait. Ordered mine a few days ago and still has not shipped from Verizon, and cannot get a clear answer on when it will ship.

    BestBuy are now out of VZ Blue (and Red) 8x's

    It looks like Bestbuy is out of Blue 8X's again, so I hope you already got yours! This either means the 8X is selling really well, or BestBuy has no idea how to forecast inventory!

    BestBuy are now out of VZ Blue (and Red) 8x's

    I got mine from Walmart after Thanksgiving. They have them for $99 as well, but gave a gift card with the deal that made it almost free. But I just checked their site and it looks like they have some Blue phones, but the Red phones are still not available yet there either (coming soon).
