Nexus S now available, get to your nearest Best Buy post-haste
It's so fresh, so new, and so comfortably shaped we don't know how anyone could resist getting their own Nexus S to have and to hold this holiday season. Well, there is one reason: getting up on a cold Thursday morning at 8am is no fun. If you're dedicated enough, Best Buy is selling them right this very moment, and again the up-front cost is $199 on contract, $250 for adding a line, or $529 if you roll restriction-free

Best Buy tells the Nexus S retail story: 8AM online sales, two per customer maximum
Want a Nexus S this Thursday? Yeah, well, welcome to the club, pal -- you're not alone, so you're going to want to be armed with the right information to figure out your plan of attack. Best Buy has announced the details of how it'll go about selling Samsung's Google-branded monster, and unlike many recent launches, this one is strictly first-come, first-serve -- none of that craziness where you put down $50 in advance to secure your place and get it off the price of the phone on launch day

Verizon sucks at Photoshop: confuses the Droid X for an iPhone
Man, Motorola's not going to be pleased about this! The Droid X is justifiably one of Verizon's marquee devices for this holiday season and takes pride of place on the carrier's Cyber Monday offers page, but wait... why does its screen display the iPhone version of Google Maps?

Dell: bigger Venue Pro launch coming, keep hands off microSD
Didn't get a Venue Pro when Microsoft threw a few on its store shelves ? Why, that'd be enough to make us mad, too -- Ballmer mad , in fact. Fear not, though: as Dell tells it, the company has production ramped up for a "timely" launch on T-Mobile's network

Samsung Continuum turns up on Verizon’s holiday site
Verizon still hasn't officially announced that it will be carrying the Samsung Continuum Galaxy S phone, but that doesn't seem to have stopped it from including the phone on it's new holiday website -- 'tis the season for being generous, after all. Unfortunately, any word on pricing or a release date will apparently still have to wait for that formal announcement, which we assume will be coming any day now -- previous leaks have pointed to a November 11th release for the dual-display phone. Samsung Continuum turns up on Verizon's holiday site originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 02 Nov 2010 16:01:00 EST.

Motorola Defy hitting T-Mobile this holiday season, details to come… on Oprah
Remember that Defy that Motorola outed at the front end of this month? Turns out the Europeans won't be the only ones seeing it this Christmas, as Moto has just revealed that it'll be hitting US airwaves exclusively on T-Mobile "in time for the holidays." You already know the details -- a 3.7-inch WVGA scratch-resistant touchpanel, plenty of rigidity, Android 2.1, the ability to withstand dust and water, a five megapixel camera (with flash and auto focus), DLNA support and the outfit's own Blur interface -- but it looks as if you'll have to wait a tick to find out anything about pricing. How long?

NFL Mobile comes to Verizon with livestreaming RedZone channel
We'd heard that the NFL would be bringing the RedZone channel to phones this season, and it looks like Verizon was the highest bidder: NFL Mobile will launch on Big Red next month with the draft, complete with live streaming video of the event, on-demand video analysis from NFL Network, a pick-by-pick draft tracker, and other content. Once the season starts, customers will get RedZone, live streams of Sunday night and Thursday night games, on-demand video highlights and analysis, live home and away radio broadcasts, fantasy info, and the usual nasty ringtones and graphics.
