Verizon’s most anticipated phones have at last shown up in black and green on Cellebrite.

Unfortunately that doesn’t reveal any specific new information about the devices, other than the fact that they do exist. It does at least put a range on their release date, as typically devices that appear in Cellebrite make their way to stores between a week and a month and a half after they are first seen. That fits nicely with our existing suspicions that the HTC Vigor (Incredible HD) will launch on October 13 and our hope that the Nexus Prime could be announced at Samsung’s event on October 11. The Droid HD (RAZR) is likely going to bring up the rear and release sometime in mid-November, just in time for holiday shopping.

The three majors are pulling out all the stops at the end of the year on Verizon. Having never had the opportunity to own a Nexus device, I think that’s where my cash is going. But all three phones have amazing specs and could easily win me over, once I get a chance to play with them. Which one of the Big Red monsters are you leaning toward?

The HTC Flyer is one of the best 7-inch tablets out there. HTC‘s great build quality and software–not to mention the stylus pen accessory–make this an amazing option for those opposed to the 10-inch form-factor. But the tablet still does not have Honeycomb. Even though HTC promised a Honeycomb update was coming, we’ve seen nothing yet. And most customers don’t like waiting.

So we have a Honeycomb-less tablet without a dual-core processor (which is what all the cool kids want nowadays) at $500. While this tablet offers great functionality for those who would take advantage of its interface, there are simply better options out there. Currently, most high-end tablets are around that price. So this bad boy was, understandably, not selling very well.

Best Buy has decided to take action and drop the Flyer’s price by a hefty $200. This would mean the tablet will cost $299, effective October 1. Not a bad deal at all!

With the price going so low, this tablet has just gotten very hot. The device is still getting Honeycomb (eventually), and maybe even Ice Cream Sandwich. Who knows?

Just in case you’ve forgotten, here are the specs:

HTC Flyer Specifications

• Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (will be updated to Honeycomb)
• 1.5 GHz single-core processor
• 1 GB RAM
• 16 GB internal storage
• 7-inch display
• 5 MP rear-facing camera
• 1.3 MP front-facing camera

At that price, HTC Flyers should be flying off the shelves. Make sure you get yours soon! Is anyone planning to get one of these at $300? Would you rather wait for the Honeycomb update? The $200 Kindle Fire is hot right now. Would you rather wait for that?

We’ve suggested for a while now that Amazon is working on a family of Android devices for 2011/2012: a phone, 7-inch tablet and 10-inch tablet–all rumored to be released sometime in Q4 2011.  While the super-cheap Kindle Fire is set to lead the way in sales this holiday season, it appears Amazon is secretly working on at least one of the other devices.

Hot on the heels of the Kindle Fire 7-inch tablet announcement, Digitimes is reporting that Amazon is looking to partner with Foxconn to produce a 10.1-inch tablet for distribution in time for the holiday season. As tends to happen with these rumors based on “industry sources,” we have almost no information on the 10.1-inch Kindle, other than the fact that Amazon might be working on it.

One Android Insider’s Take on the Rumor

We know several of you are holding out on purchasing a tablet until the 10-inch models hit around the $300 price point (something that wouldn’t be too hard for Amazon to meet, given the $199 price-tag on the Kindle Fire). Since Amazon was only able to deliver the sub-$200 price on the Kindle Fire because of the heavy integration with Amazon’s cloud services, we expect that the 10-inch model will feature the same heavily customized Android skin that several of our readers bemoaned in order to hit the sub-$300 price point.

Might this be the quad-core project Hollywood? It’s certainly too soon to tell. But we’re highly skeptical that this device will have Tegra inside, considering Amazon decided to go with the TI OMAP chip in the Kindle Fire. That being said, NVIDIA’s Kal-El chip is the only quad-core chip rumored to make its way into devices in 2011, so it’s still a possibility.

All things considered, we believe it’s very possible that Amazon will deliver a 10-inch tablet in 2011. Kindle’s VP Russ Grandinette told Engadget to “stay tuned” when asked if they would be launching a larger slate.

Final Thoughts

Several of our readers are interested in a larger form factor tablet but are waiting for the price to be right before taking the plunge. Amazon is probably the company to make it happen, since they have enough money-making services to justify discounting hardware to the point of affordability. Based on that alone, we certainly hope Amazon is able to get a 10.1-inch tablet out the door by Christmas.

Of course, hope can only go so far, and it’s simply too soon to tell whether there’s any meat to this rumor. If the rumor is true, we’ll likely learn more about the slate in the next month or so.

Stay tuned.
