Verizon Galaxy Note III and Galaxy Gear pricing seen in leaked document
Sep 6th 2013, 08:50, by Juan Carlos Torres

Samsung‘s new Galaxy Note III and Galaxy Gear are the hottest topics this week, so it’s not surprising that carriers have been quick to reveal their offerings. But while Verizon has been so far silent, a leaked photo shows us just how much the carrier is planning to charge for the devices.

T-Mobile announced that the Samsung Galaxy Note III will be priced at $199 a month on its Simple Choice Plan, down with 24 equal monthly payments of $21.00. The Galaxy Gear, on the other hand, will cost $299, plus taxes and fees. The carrier hasn’t opened up pre-orders yet but is conducting a raffle for a chance to win the devices for free. AT&T said that it will be taking pre-orders starting today and has the Galaxy Note III up on its AT&T Next program for $35 per month, or $299 with a two-year contract. It hasn’t given out details about the Galaxy Gear except that it will be coming soon.

Based on the leaked information, Big Red will be offering the smartphone for comparably competitive prices. The Galaxy Note III will also be available for $299 on contract, with a full price of $699. The smartwatch, however, is indicated to come in a bundle with a phone for $599.98. Simply based on the document, it doesn’t seem like the Galaxy Gear will be sold separately by Verizon.

We may get to see Verizon’s real plans soon, as it will be opening pre-orders today as well. No launch date has been given yet, but it probably would be around the first week of October similar to AT&T and T-Mobile.

HTC One Mini David Koma special edition revealed
Sep 6th 2013, 07:59, by Juan Carlos Torres

Manufacturers have sometimes put out specially designed versions of their devices and HTC is not making an exception with its limited edition HTC One Mini, sporting designs from renowned designer David Koma. The “HTC One Mini x David Koma” feature’s the British fashion designer’s artistic sensibilities and inspiration for his upcoming collection to be shown during Fashion Week.

To those of us unfamiliar with the fashion world, David Koma’s designs have been worn by stars such Beyonce, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga and has continually held one of most anticipated shows at the bi-annual London Fashion Week. Touted as one of Britain’s “ChangeMakers”, HTC thought it fitting to collaborate with Koma on a daring design, in line with the company’s “Here’s To Change” marketing campaign.

The result is two unique designs for the HTC One Mini, reflecting Koma’s interpretation of the theme “Change”. The first design incorporates curves and organic patterns, taking inspiration from vinyl records and music. The second features a theme taken from Japanese archery, representing Koma’s own change from his old season’s design to his current work.

The HTC One Mini x David Koma is, however, not for sale. A limited number of units are available and will be given away to 10 lucky winners of a design contest being held by HTC UK. Better join quickly if you’re interested, as the competition closes on September 22.
