Although it’s not much to look at and could stand to have a catchier name, Verizon’s newest handset, the CDM8975 has all the fixings you could ask for in a push-to-talk-enabled flip phone: GPS, 3G, and all the usual V CAST services. Not a bad little number for an entry-level phone, and push to talk will doubtlessly appeal to the no-nonsense sensibilities of those working in construction and shipping. Available for $99.99 after mail-in rebate as of March 9th.

Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
