Rumor: Verizon roadmap leaks, filled with a whole bunch of boring, and a whole lot of Samsung

A source that the Boy Genius Report claims to be trustworthy has slipped him a roadmap of devices, 14 to be exact, that are due to launch over the next few months on Verizon’s network. This list is heavily slanted towards Samsung, which makes the wait for their Q2 2009 financial results, due out this Friday, even more difficult to bear.
Shameless copy and paste:
- LG Chocolate Touch VX8575 – Full touchscreen, might be like the BL40
- BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Storm 2 9550 – October-November release
- Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Shade 2705 – Replaces the Mirage 2605
- Nokia Twist 7705 – This might be the swivel-style phone that has been rumored for months.
- Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Treo 800W – “Even though this was released for Sprint (NYSE: S) last year, Verizon may not have it out until February 2010.”
- Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Entice (or Harmony) W766 – Replaces the W755
- Samsung Rogue U960 – Replaces the Glyde U940, expected in August
- Samsung U450 – Verizon Mobile TV-compatible
- Samsung Strut U440 – QWERTY handset
- Samsung Omnia-II i920 – Due out by Christmas
Push to Talk:
- Motorola V860
- Samsung Convoy U640
- Casio Rock C731
- Casio Brigade C741
