Just when we’ve started wondering what happened to the FCC-approved UTStarcom TXT8010, we have a new tidbit of information that suggests Verizon will be offering the Pantech-made device as Blitz.
Apparently, the CDMA carrier will start selling the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard equipped phone on August 8th through Wal-Mart, followed by Best Buy on September 28th. That by itself should mean you won’t have to rob the bank to own one. Still, the Verizon Blitz manages to pack VCAST Music support, VZ Navigator, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and of course a microSD slot…
And that’s about all we know at this stage. We’ll certainly have more to add on the subject as August 8th approaches. Stay tuned, in the meantime.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. 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.
