The HTC Rezound is now available on Verizon Wireless. The big draw of the Rezound is its heavy Beats by Dr. Dre integration and its 4G LTE connectivity. We got a chance to check out the device when HTC unveiled it on Nov. 3 and found it to be another strong entry into Verizon’s library of LTE phones. It’s the third of four known dual-core 4G LTE devices coming to the carrier this year. The Droid Bionic and Droid Razr are already out and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is coming in the next couple weeks, from what we hear.

We’ve included some links to our hands-on impressions and videos of the device in action below, but here are some specs. The handset has a 4.3-inch screen with a 720p display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera that can shoot slow motion (HTC has industry leading cameras), and cost $300 with a two-year contract. The Rezound will ship with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but HTC has promised an Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) upgrade in the coming months.

The Oura Ring 4 is out, so the Oura Ring 3 is on sale

Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes, but did you know that they can also come in the form of rings? If you're interested, you can get the Oura Ring 3, a smart ring that can monitor different kinds of health metrics, with a $50 discount from Best Buy. Instead of its original price of $299, you'll only have to pay $249, but you need to act fast because we're not sure when the offer will end. Add the wearable device to your cart and proceed with the checkout process immediately if you don't want to miss the savings.

Why you should buy the Oura Ring 3
Despite the arrival of the Oura Ring 4, the Oura Ring 3 remains a worthwhile purchase as one of the best fitness trackers that you can buy. According to our Oura Ring 4 versus Oura Ring 3 comparison, the Oura Ring 4 is thinner and lighter, and offers a slightly improved battery, but it shares the same fitness tracking features with the Oura Ring 3, and both are compatible with iOS and Android smartphones. They also both require an Oura membership that costs $6 per month to unlock deeper insights and exclusive features, so the lower price of the Oura Ring 3 compared to the Oura Ring 4 is even more appealing.
