So it’s not just the new BlackBerry Curve Verizon is announcing today. Later in a day, the CDMA carrier also unveiled four other handsets:
- LG enV2 – A slimmer version of the original enV phone with larger keys and a larger internal display. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera, full QWERTY keyboard, stereo Bluetooth support, integrated GPS (that works with VZ Navigator) and a microSD memory slot. Available in April for $129.99 after a $50 rebate with a new two-year agreement. (release)
- HTC XV6900 aka Touch is the device you probably know everything about. However, unlike the original Touch this one has more memory — 256 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM — hence it should work bit faster. Other specs remain pretty much the same and include 2.8 inch touchscreen, 2 megapixel camera, Windows Mobile 6 Professional edition. There’s no word on WiFi, though. Also coming in April, and will cost $349.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a contract. (release)
- Motorola Q9c – It’s not just Alltel and U.S. Cellular that have announced Moto’s QWERTY keyboard equipped smartphone. Though to be fair, Verizon doesn’t say anything about the Lime version. The carrier will be selling the device for $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, with additional $100 off being available for those who sign up for qualifying voice and data plans at the time of purchase. (release)
- Samsung Alias – Successor to the U740 model, according to Verizon’s release, even though we’re not quite sure what’s better about it except the color of the device and somewhat improved keyboard. Then again, as we’ve argued before, Verizon must be thinking that by calling their devices by names rather than numbers, customers will remember them better. Anyway, the Alias will be available in mid-April for $129.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. (release)
There you have it – Verizon showed its “CTIA cards.” What about other carriers? We’re waiting guys…
