Samsung's Droid Charge Hits Verizon Stores Tomorrow
Permalink   


Samsung's Droid Charge smartphone, its first phone on Verizon's LTE network, is hitting Verizon stores on Saturday after a brief delay due to Verizon's brief LTE outage.

Originally due to hit stores on April 29, Verizon shelved the launch of the Droid Charge due to the network downtime.

The Droid Charge runs on Android 2.2 "Froyo" and features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus touch screen, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, Adobe Flash support, and mobile hotspotting.

PCMag contributing editor Jamie Lendino praised the Charge's camera and camcorder but noted some drawbacks you should definitely consider before heading to your nearest Verizon store, or Verizon.com, tomorrow. See PCMag's review of the Samsung Droid Charge and the slideshow below for more details.

The phone costs $299.99 with a two-year Verizon contract, which must include a Verizon Wireless Nationwide Talk plan and a 4G LTE data package. Nationwide Talk plans begin at $39.99 per month, while unlimited 4G LTE data packages start at $29.99 per month. Customers will also receive a free trial of mobile hotspotting.

With the launch of the Droid Charge, Verizon customers now have two 4G Android smartphones to choose from: the HTC Thunderbolt ($249.99), our current Editors' Choice, or the Droid Charge. The two cell phones are pretty similar, but not identical; the HTC Thunderbolt has a slight edge.

The Droid Charge is one 10 4G LTE devices Verizon announced at CES in January.
