Nextbit to offer Verizon-compatible version of its Robin smartphone
(NYSE:TMUS) clients, since the organization’s Robin cell phone underpins both of those bearers.
Kickstarter’s darling device, the Robin from Nextbit, now supports Verizon. $40 or more gets customers a Nextbit vinyl sheep mascot, designed by Dead Zebra’s Andrew Bell.
Tom Moss (NextBit CEO) and Verizon have reached an agreement to make the crowdfunded phone available in the U.S.as soon as possible, as easily as possible.
If you’re interested in backing the new CDMA version, be sure to hit the Kickstarter campaign (linked below) at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Friday, otherwise you might be stuck paying an additional $50.
While we haven’t yet gotten our hands on the Nextbit Robin, it’s definitely a bit different than most of the other smartphone offerings we’ve seen this year.
The advantage of the NextBit Robin is that it can store almost everything in the cloud, without the user’s interference.
Apps that you don’t use are stored in the cloud but can be quickly restored to your phone when you need them. With a minimalist design that is inspired by Material- and industrial Design, the handset looks and feels like the future. The organization has at last figured out how to get Verizon Communications Inc. It supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, and features a fingerprint sensor in the power button on the right side. It’s priced as a mid-ranger, but it offers flagship specifications, which is rare in the smartphone industry, especially if it’s not from China. And, luckily for them, it’s going to be available at the same price that the phone was offered to early birds of the original version.
