Samsung U900 FlipShot officially available on Verizon

As expected, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has launched the Samsung U900 FlipShot. The screen-flippin’ phone somehow reminds us on Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s N90, N92, N93(i) models, but still manages to look original. For $199.99 with a new two-year term contract, potential users will get quite a decent Get it Now-enabled device — boasting such features as 3 MP camera, Camcorder, PictBridge printing, QVGA screen and stereo Bluetooth support. As for the supported services, Verizon promises you’ll be able to enjoy their VZ Navigator, V CAST Music and Video… Full release follows after the jump.
