Three weeks ago we reported Verizon will be launching the Pantech-made Blitz phone. The moment has come and we’re sure heavy texters among the carrier’s potential and existing customers are rejoicing as we speak. The reason is simple — the Blitz is relatively low-cost phone with full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, allowing users to type SMSes as quickly as humanly possible with their thumbs.
In addition, the Blitz also sports a 1.3 megapixel camera, 2.2″ 220×176 pixels screen, Bluetooth support, music player (compatible with V CAST Music with Rhapsody), mobile email & IM support, VZ Navigator, and a microSD memory card slot. As for the size, it measures 3.5×2.6×0.7 inches and has a weight of 5.1 ounces… In a nutshell, it’s a simple feature phone that differentiates itself with a keyboard.
The Verizon Wireless Blitz is available for $69.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a two-year contract.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
