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 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 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.
