Whenever a phone comes out, there are consumers that asked if it comes with white. These days, white is the new trend and often phone manufacturers release a white version later to give that exclusive/limited bragging rights for those that have waited.

Now in the US, Verizon has announced the white colour Motorola Droid RAZR which is perfect for the Christmas season. Looking at the pic, it isn’t a fully “white” model as one would expect. The only thing that’s white is the bezel and the frame that covers the back. The rest looks pretty much the same as the black version including that sexy black kevlar. Personally we rather go black for the RAZR.

For us folks in Malaysia, no idea if Motorola is going to do the same for the GSM version Motorola RAZR.

This ad moved us so much that we just got to share it. From the suspense built-up to the expression on the guy’s face as he delivers the punchline, it’s just perfect!

The biggest news in the US the past week was the iPhone 4′s launch on Verizon’s network. It’s big news because, previously the iPhone was the exclusive domain of AT&T in the US and while many adore the device, a number of others blasted the AT&T network for poor data service and call connections. Americans didn’t have a choice. Like it or not, if they wanted an iPhone, they had to sign-up with AT&T. So it is understandable that a new operator offering the iPhone is a big deal in a mobile market as big as the US.

The thing that caught our attention is Apple’s treatment of this situation, it’s obvious in the ad that you’ll see after the jump that Apple’s stance is simple — choice is good and you can never have too much of a good thing. And that’s awesome. We like that approach.

Now in Malaysia, unlocked iPhones and the option to choose between three operators that offer the device is nothing new, it’ll be nice however to see similar types of ads running in Malaysia. Don’t you think?

Verizon — a mobile telco in the US — is offering a US$100 refund for customers who have purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab from them in the last 14 days.

The reason? Verizon has dropped the price of the popular Android tablet from US$599 to US$499, those who’ve purchased the device before the price cut get the difference back. This is great goodwill gesture from Verizon and we don’t think we’ll be seeing something similar done here, but if the local operators are reading this, something for you to make a note of.

Engadget has a picture of a new Android device from LG that supports LTE. It is believed to be slated for middle of next year as part of Verizon’s LTE roll out in the states.

From the picture, the high end device comes with a HD camera, either HD 720p or 1080p and it also comes with a front facing camera. At the back, there’s couple of logos which reported to be WiFi and DLNA.

Since we are talking about LTE, ITU has ruled out the current WiMAX and LTE as 4G. Only the upcoming WiMAX2 and LTE Advanced are considered true 4G. Looks like our ’4G’ players are not backing down from their 4G claim anytime soon. One of the CEOs now diverts attention to ‘customers’.

Remember when we posted earlier that HTC and Verizon are working together on a World Phone? This turns out to be HTC Merge that supports both GSM and CDMA. Android Central had a hands on with the new device and had posted a review for it as well.

Firstly the Merge is a QWERTY Slider phone and it doesn’t use the pop-up hinge mechanism found on the latest Desire Z. It is reported to be powered with a 800MHz processor, an odd numbered 363MB of RAM and 1.3GB of internal memory for storage. Although it uses only 800MHz, the benchmark test proves that it performs better than the 1GHz running Nexus One.

Operating system wise it is running the latest Android 2.2 Froyo. It also spots a 3.7″ Super LCD screen. When compared to the Droid 2, both had similar dimensions but the Merge is slightly thicker.

We would like to stress that this is still a prototype device that they are reviewing and the name may be changed ahead for launch.

Check out the benchmark test video after the jump.

BGR has several clear shots of an upcoming Android device that’s coming to Verizon. It spots a 4.3″ display, dual LED, front facing camera and 8 Megapixel Camera. It looks very similar to the EVO 4G and we believe it is the same phone on the previous leaked photos of HTC Ace / Desire HD.

It is slightly bigger when compared to the iPhone 4 and the body looks like it shares the same materials used on the HTC Desire/Nexus One. As mentioned earlier, we have a strong feeling that this device might make an appearance during HTC’s big announcement on September 15.

Head on to BGR for more photos.

The Droid Guy has posted pictures of what appears to be a new Android device that supports both CDMA/GSM. Being able to support both CDMA and GSM radio makes this a true global phone as not all networks are using GSM especially in the USA.

While most operators are using GSM in Malaysia, many might not know that TM offers CDMA for fixed wireless telephony in rural areas.

The specification for this CDMA/GSM slider phone is rumoured to be:

• Powered by at least 1.2GHz processor
• 4″ Screen
• Full Slider QWERTY Keyboard
