Verizon Droid DNA+ Could Be HTC M7 Relative

It was just yesterday when we talked about how US launch partners of the HTC M7 would include AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint, with Verizon more or less holding back after the amount of advertising investment that they have put into the Droid DNA. After all, most of what you would find on the HTC M7 (on paper based on existing rumors anyways) would be more or less similar to the Verizon Droid DNA. Here is a leak from Twitter user @LlabTooFeR who claims that this is because Verizon has a new version of the Droid DNA in the pipeline, called the Droid DNA+.

Dell Venue Pro Gets Windows Phone 7.8 Update

The Dell Venue Pro might have been relegated to being a distant memory for some by now, but if you are still hanging out with this smartphone, it is time to rejoice. It seems that the unlocked, unbranded Dell Venue Pro is now on the receiving end of the long awaited Windows Phone 7.8, giving this smartphone a boost in its aged legs for one last hurrah. Hopefully the Windows Phone 7.8 update would not cause any battery life issues that we talked about before.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish. Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward.

Nokia Beats Out Apple And Samsung On Finland's Largest Carrier

We know that Nokia's Lumia lineup of Windows Phone 8 devices have been doing pretty well for themselves, but are they actually able to beat out their competitors like the iPhone 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S3. While it remains to be seen stateside, it seems that as far as Nokia's homeland of Finland is concerned, they certainly are. According to the latest rankings for one of Finland's largest carriers, Elisa, and the country's third largest carrier, DNA, it looks like Nokia is most certainly managing to hold its own.

Husqvarna sold to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer

A couple of days ago the UK's Motorcycle News reported that BMW was in the final stages of selling Husqvarna to KTM, with a deal potentially confirmed as soon as this week. Following that came reports that Husqvarna Motorcycles wasn't sold to KTM but to a Pierer Industries, the company owned by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Turns out the advance report was true, as was the follow-up: BMW has just announced a "strategic realignment" of its Motorrad division, explaining that it sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries in order to focus on the urban and e-mobility segments. Husqvarna's off-road machines, obviously, don't fit into those categories.
