Samsung Galaxy Nexus and HTC Rezound discounted at Verizon Wireless

For a limited time, you can get the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the HTC Rezound at a discounted price. The Galaxy Nexus is discounted by $50 to the price of $149.99. This is a great deal, because you get a 720p HD Super AMOLED screen, (yes it is Pentile but it is still a great screen) stock Android Ice Cream Sandwich, LTE speeds, and a path to the Nexus updates. The things that make the Verizon Nexus not as good as the unlocked HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus from Google is that the Verizon version has worse battery life, that Verizon put many logos on the back, and that Verizon blocked Google Wallet from the Nexus. This makes the Verizon Nexus somewhat of not a true Nexus. The HTC Rezound is discounted to an incredible $79.99. For this very low price you get a great 720p Super LCD TFT screen, a great 8 megapixel camera, and LTE speeds. The Rezound also comes with a set of high quality Beats headphones that would regularly cost $100 on their own. The bad thing about the Rezound is that it has bad battery life. If you can ignore these small problems about these two great phones, head on over to Verizon and pick up one of these fine handsets.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

Moto G: Moto Grrrreat!

Before the Moto X was officially announced, people speculated that it might be offered at an incredibly low off-contract price. Some people even guessed that it would be $199 off - contract . This was sadly not true, but Motorola did say that they would eventually offer a device similar to the Moto X, but with a lower unlocked price. Motorola also said that the cheaper device would be geared towards more markets than the United States, like Brazil and other emerging markets. They have finally taken off the covers of the Moto G, and it is almost exactly as Motorola said it would be. It looks like a Moto X, but it has less expensive internals. Many other smartphone manufacturers have made cheaper versions of their flagship handsets, but they almost always turn out to be pieces of junk. Is the Moto G a worthwhile handset, even at its $179 off-contract price? Can you be happy with the Moto G as your primary device. Scroll onward to find out, but you can just look at the title if you wan...

Hands-On with the Motorola Droid Maxx and Droid Ultra

Even though the Moto X is going to be on every US carrier, Motorola still feels the need to have a line of Droid handsets on Verizon. Motorola’s Droid Razr HD, Maxx HD, and Razr M were relatively successful products, and they were actually really good.  The Maxx HD brought hours and hours of battery life, a speedy processor, and a decent HD display. The Razr M was a very nice smartphone in a small package, and was one of the best small Android phones you could buy at the time. This year, Verizon and Motorola unveiled the Motorola Droid Ultra, Maxx, and Motorola Droid Mini at a launch event a while back.  These products are now available for $200, $300, and $100 on contract respectively at Verizon, so we decided to try out the Ultra and Maxx handsets for ourselves. Can these Droids stand up to the likes of the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Motorola’s own Moto X? Are these the Droids you’re looking for? Scroll onwards to find out the answers to these questions and more ...
