In case you haven’t been counting down the days to Verizageddon, it’s almost upon us. Tomorrow, Verizon will be lighting up and expanding its 4G LTE network in a ridiculous number of markets. Verizon undeniably has the largest 4G LTE coverage in the U.S. and it’ll be years before its competitors catch up.

Here we go… Apparently high demand for the Samsung Galaxy S III is causing a bit of a shipping delay for U.S. carriers. A trend we usually only see with Verizon, has now trickled down to other major carriers, who have been sending out announcements left and right to warn customers of possible delays.

Verizon has dropped the price of the HTC Rezound to a mere $80 just in time for summer. We’re sure it has more to do with Verizon’s upcoming lineup, bu hey, a deal is a deal. It’s actually a better deal than both Amazon Wireless and Wirefly have at the moment, which is surprising.

Verizon is certainly the king of launch delays, and while they are already going to be the last of the major U.S. carriers to launch the Samsung Galaxy S III, it appears they’ve pushed that date back one extra day. Is one more day really a big deal? Not really, but given Verizon’s track record, one has to wonder: “will one day turn into two, or three, or seven days?”

Wirefly, my other favorite mobile retailer, has a nice offer for anyone looking to pick up a Verizon 4G LTE smartphone. Now through June 14, anyone who upgrades or activates a Verizon 4G LTE smartphone through Wirefly will receive a $40 bill credit. You can activate and receive the discount on up to five 4G LTE devices for each qualifying line.
