The past few days have been all about devices. HTC, for example, unveiled its Droid Incredible 4G LTE, Verizon's latest Android 4.0 smartphone. But carriers are making headlines, too, such as AT&T.

Verizon won't take ownership nor will Motorola, and both say they have never heard of the issue. Verizon is misleading consumers into thinking its new $300 device is tough, but it doesn't even hold up to normal use.
