Verizon has announced two new devices, the Motorola RIZR Z6c and the Red LG VX8350. We’ve already seen the press shots of the former handset, I’ll only recap it’s a slider device, sporting such features as 2″ screen, stereo Bluetooth support, 2 MP camera and the microSD memory slot. In addition, thanks to the integration of both CDMA and GSM radios, owners of the V Cast Music and Video enabled device will be able to roam with it around the world using Verizon’s global roaming partners’ networks for $1.29 or $2.49 per minute for calls, or send SMS for only 25 cents per message. In case you find yourself travelling abroad frequently, you might consider getting one of these. The carrier is selling the Moto’s device for $179.99 after $50 rebate and a new two-year customer agreement.
The other device, Red LG VX8350, is a low-to-mid range clamshell whose key selling point is music. Just like the Z6c, it also comes with stereo Bluetooth support and microSD slot, allowing you to store up to 4 GB of songs — that’s with an appropriate memory card. There’s also the 1.3 MP camera and dedicated music keys, which will make your music listening much more pleasant experience. Verizon is selling the red LG VX8350 for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and of course, a new two-year agreement.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
