You might not have noticed this yet but we have become extremely dependant on our mobile phones. This is especially true for those who use modern smartphones. Our always-connected lives would become highly disconnected if we were forced to live without these devices for a single day.

Our dependence comes through very clearly when we are trying to buy a new phone. Suddenly, all our daily needs and requirements come into play and we are left puzzled at the onslaught of features. This scenario is further complicated by the fact that most companies have product release cycles that are between 10 months to a year.

The companies cannot be stopped from bringing out the latest gear all throughout the year but we can help you catch up on the latest phone news. And so we do, every Thursday. Get over to the other side for this week’s digest.

Droid has made the news for a lot of reasons before and after it was launched. People were pretty excited during the rumormongering period and everyone wanted a piece of the action. But the day the Droid finally became publicly available, there was nothing much to write about the crowd that was’nt there (but was expected to be there). So everyone thought that the Droid had not been received too well by consumers. Seems like we spoke to early and that Droid has made a dent after all.

We all are quite acquainted with the quality service that Verizon has been providing its customers, over the years. The service provider has since been introducing various cutting-edge and stunning devices one after another. The recent introduction of HTC Imagio thus adds another feather to its cap.

Verizon Wireless unveiled the HTC Imagio, which is the carrier’s one and only Windows Mobile 6.5 device and probably the first smart-phone which supports its V Cast Mobile TV Service. The launch took place today. According to the tech-supporters, the digital TV service comes through to Imagio via its prolific antenna. The newly launched device which at one point of time codenamed as the HTC Whitestone has aptly been labeled as a multimedia smart-phone. The seemingly lavish device can also operate with V Cast Video on Demand and V Cast Music, thereby providing an all-round-facility-service to its users. Surprisingly we haven’t seen any of these features being included in other smart-phones that had been launched by Verizon. For concentrating on business benefits could be one of the primary reasons for the service provider not including these services in its earlier smart-phones. Hence the newly launched HTC Imagio does provide a breathe of fresh air for the Verizon aficionados.
