Free Wireless Charging Plate for all AT&T Lumia 920s until Feb 21

Ever since AT&T started exclusively selling the Nokia Lumia 920 in the US, the carrier has been kind enough to offer it bundled with Nokia's Wireless Charging Plate.

Initially, the carrier said the promotion will go on until the end of January, 2013, but now the timeframe of the deal has been extended to February 21.

 

This is great news for AT&T customers, who want to upgrade to the Lumia 920, but aren't eligible to do so before February. At CES 2013, AT&T mentioned that the Lumia 920 was selling very well, but the promo extension could indicate that the carrier has some trouble shipping all of its available Lumia 920 stock.

For $99.99 (on a 2-year contract), the US carrier is making the Nokia Lumia 920 the obvious choice for the Windows Phone 8 fans in US.

Samsung Nexus 10 not arriving until “first half of next year”

If you were hoping for the rumored high-end Nexus 10 tablet this holiday season, get ready to be disappointed. Brooke Crothers of CNET, the same guy that said Samsung would produce the Nexus 10, is now reporting the tablet is “expected in the first half of next year.”

We don’t know what the hold up is, but it could be the next generation display or processor. The Nexus 10 is rumored to include a 2,560 x 1,600 display and Samsung’s Exynos 5 (ARM Cortex-A15) processor. Both of these components have been shown off since early this year, but Samsung could have run into issues producing either part in volume.

Thankfully we should still have a full lineup of new entry-level and mid-range Nexus tablets, but it looks like we will have to wait for next year to experience a high-end, 10-inch model that can compete with the new iPad.

Verizon’s Galaxy S III won’t ship until early July?

Verizon may have been first out of the gate with a press release regarding their Galaxy S III, but it looks like a release date is going to be one feature that isn’t shared by all of the US Galaxy S IIIs.

Pre-orders will start tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. Eastern time for the Verizon Galaxy S III and we had been hoping that this meant a launch right around June 21st, lining up with T-Mobile and Sprint’s plans.

Unfortunately it looks like Verizon customers might have to make it through Independence Day without a Galaxy S III by their side as multiple sources are placing Verizon’s launch date in early July with shipping dates varying from July 5th to July 9th.

The guys at Android Community are hearing July 5th, a Thursday, which is Verizon’s preferred day for new device launches.

Droid-Life on the other hand has heard both July 6th and July 9th as possible dates. A Friday or Monday would be a bit unusual for Verizon, but an insider was able to snap the blurriest of blurrycam shots for them which clearly states “Pre-ordered phones will ship by July 9th.” This also leaves open the possibility that the phones would ship July 9th, but not be available in store until July 12th.

Now I wouldn’t take any of these dates as gospel as these things can change rapidly, however Verizon is famous for their delays so it would come as no surprise if they were to launch a few weeks behind everyone else. They might just be using that extra time to get their data plans sorted out.
