HTC Ozone Announced by Verizon

We’ve been seeing a lot of the Windows Mobile-packing HTC Ozone lately, so it’s no surprise to see an official announcement today. As expected, the full QWERTY candybar will run you $49.99 on contract after rebates, and offers 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 2.4″ QVGA screen. It’s a shame that Verizon (NYSE: VZ) chose to ditch the stylish trackball that appears on the original Snap model, but the Ozone should stilll be a fine messaging device for those who don’t want to get on the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) boat. Also as predicted, the Ozone will be available as of June 29th., so keep an eye on VZ’s online store to pick up yours.
