Verizon Starts Selling the Nexus 6 and Moto E (2015)
If there’s one thing we can mostly all agree on, it’s that Verizon is hardly ever the first to do something; whether that’s getting a certain device, updating a phone, or offering services, they just like to take their time. Well, after 6 months, the Nexus 6 is now available (online) on Big Red, and after a few weeks, the Moto E is as well.
You can grab the Big Red certified Shamu (the aptly named Nexus 6 codename) on Verizon’s website for $250 on a 2-year contract, payments of up to about $27 a month, or off contract for $650. Unfortunately your only option is the Midnight Blue 32GB configuration and you can’t walk into a store to pick it up — at least not until March 19th. The most interesting and important part of all this is that Verizon is getting another chance at a Nexus phone (after failing miserably with the Galaxy Nexus) — and the this late launch isn’t helping their case!
Verizon also announced that they will be carrying the new Moto E on their prepaid network. We covered this phone is depth when Motorola revealed it a couple weeks ago, but up until now you’ve only been able to buy an unlocked version or one on Sprint and its MVNOs. Now you can get a Verizon branded variant with 4G LTE for $99.
Is it too little too late for the carrier giant or are you still going to be picking up a Nexus 6 for yourself and a Moto E for your parents?

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
