The NFL has just signed an agreement with Verizon wireless for a four year deal that will bring NFL Mobile to Verizon users. This comes after Sprint decided that the price to carry the NFL sponsorship did not seem to be cost effective. It should be online, right before the NFL draft that will be happening in April. In conjunction with the deal, Verizon wireless will become the official NFL wireless provider. This new app will enable users to keep track of their favorite teams no matter where they are especially on their BlackBerry Curve 8520 unlocked cell phone device.

One of the favorites is going to be the NFL RedZone channel that will give you a look at all of the key plays and touchdowns from the Sunday games.

For all of you fantasy football enthusiasts, you will have access to unlimited information as well as news and player statistics.

You can kick off this new program for Verizon by taking advantage of it for the upcoming draft. You will not miss any of the exciting news of the draft because the program will give you a live feed of the draft as it happens right on your BlackBerry Storm 2 or other unlocked cell phone.
