Samsung Stratosphere II Free For Upgrades At Amazon Wireless ($130 Off), $100 For New Customers

Posted by in Deals, Samsung, Stratosphere II, Verizon Wireless

Do you want a QWERTY slider phone on Verizon? Then your options are pretty limited at this point. And by "limited," I mean this is basically your only one: Samsung's Stratosphere II. It's WVGA-tacular! It's also free if you use your existing Verizon customer upgrade over at Amazon Wireless, which is a good deal. I guess. New customers looking to get in on this not-exactly-bleeding-edge slider will have to fork over a Benjamin, though $100 is still thirty bucks less than what Verizon will charge you.

noooo

The Stratosphere II has things, as well. Things like a dual-core S4 Snapdragon processor, 4" WVGA display, and an 1800mAh battery.

Samsung Stratosphere II For Verizon Finally Official, Available 'In The Coming Weeks' For $129

Posted by in News, Stratosphere II, Verizon Wireless

We've seen a few leaks of Verizon's upcoming Stratosphere II over the past couple of months, and Big Red just made the handset official. As expected, it's a modest mid-ranger with a 4-inch display and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor. Like its predecessor, the Stratosphere II will also sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

This global-ready Android 4.0 handset will be available "in the coming weeks" for $129, but that's after a $50 mail-in-rebate and a two year agreement. Woo.

Samsung Releases Open Source Kernel Files For Galaxy Camera, Note 10.1, And Others

Posted by in Galaxy Camera, Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, Jelly Bean 4.1, Samsung, Stratosphere II

Samsung is back again with a fresh batch of source, today dropping open source kernel files for the Note 10.1 (N8000), its LTE counterpart N8020, the Stratosphere II (SCH-I415), and Sprint's version of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SPH-P500). The most interesting device on the list, though, is probably the Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100), which is just arriving at UK retailers this month, with no firm date announced for a state-side debut. Though the Galaxy Camera is a somewhat unconventional Android device, it's still great to see Samsung keeping up with its pattern of timely open source file releases.
