Verizon reps: iPhone sales strong, Thunderbolt stronger

• My phone is faster than my cable modem

  The HTC Thunderbolt's Internet speed is not only faster than any other phone, it may be faster than your home wired Internet connection.

  Verizon (VZ) launched its LTE 4G wireless service in the U.S. at the end of last year.  Until last week however, the only way to tap into that superfast wireless network was to buy a USB dongle and plug it into your laptop.

  That all changed with the MORE

• AT&T-Mobile and Verizon: Is Sprint third place in a two-man race?

  What does AT&T's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA mean for Sprint? A whole lot of trouble.

  Sprint (S), the third-largest U.S. carrier, has struggled to find its niche for years. It spent billions of dollars building out a WiMAX 4G network that has failed to pay off. It's also battled customer losses (a.k.a. churn in industry lingo) and a reputation for less-than-stellar customer service. Assuming AT&T's (T) acquisition of T-Mobile MORE

• Crystal-clear cell phone calls are coming. Really.

  Peter Santos, the CEO of Audience Inc., says high-definition cellular service is about to take off.

  Peter Santos comes across as a pretty mild-mannered executive, until he starts trying to come up with a metaphor for how crummy today's cellular phones sound relative to how good he knows they could sound.  "What we have in voice today is a 13-inch black-and-white TV set.  We have an opportunity to have a 60-inch MORE

• Verizon iPhone unlimited data won't last forever

  It's a great ploy to win over new customers, but unlimited data plans will prove problematic for Verizon in the long term.

  By this time tomorrow, millions of Americans who have been clamoring for an iPhone without AT&T service will finally have the option: Verizon Wireless is expected to announce the availability of the iPhone running on its network. Not only that, but if reports prove accurate, Verizon will allow iPhone MORE

• HTC leaks AT&T's 4G hand...wait, what AT&T 4G?

  HTC has jumped the gun in a pretty big way.

  Android Central posts an HTC ad which appears in this month's Rolling Stone where HTC brags about being the first 4G phone on each of the four major US networks.  The EVO and G2 have been out for months on Sprint and T-Mobile's '4G' networks.  However, the Verizon (VZ) Thunderbolt looks like an unannounced phone that borrows heavily from the design MORE
