Gizmodo has a list of phones that we will be able to spot on Verizons network before the year ends. Exciting times! Here’s a list of the phones that are planned to be released:
• Moto Q9m and Q9c are the CDMA versions of the Q9h, and the consumer and business models, respectively. Q9m probably dropping by the end of the month; Q9c available Q4.
• UTStarcom SMT5800 (HTC Libra) is a WM6 smartphone with both a numeric and sliding QWERTY keyboard, 2MP cam, 128MB flash, 64MB RAM, EV-DO (upgradeable to Rev. A). Most likely available in Oct.
• Samsung i760 is hitting in Sept.
• Another HTC phone, a Verizon version of the Mogul (UTStarcom XV6800)—same specs as Sprint's model it seems, also dropping in October.
• Palm Treo 755p will be in available in November, running Palm OS 5.4.9.
• RIM BlackBerry 8130 Pearl is probably the Pearl 2. No release date mentioned, oddly.
• Moto Z6c Jackques is EV-DO CDMA but packs GSM for jetsetters who can wait until Nov. Its cousin, the Z6tv, um, has TV features, available "second half" of '07, we presume.
• Verizon CDM-8630 is an entry level with a simple UI and one-touch dialing, also second half of '07.
• Samsung SCH-U410 and LG VX5400 are two mid-level clamshells due by year's end, replacing the U340 and VX5300, respectively. The LG VX8300 is also getting bumped in that time frame, by the VX8350.
• Ending the list is a pair of Samsung phones: a CDMA version of the U700 and the U900, which looks to sport a 3MP cam and high-res camcorder. Both are slotted for the last half of '07.
That's a very nice list, but it is VITAL to remember that Verizon intentionally hobbles every one of their phones so that you are forced to use GetItNow.
I am in the process of leaving Verizon, and in their attempts to inquiry as to why, I have asked "what phones do you have where I can applications". Verizon's answer was always "None, because it would violate our agreement with our cell phone providers". This is, of course, cannot possibly be true (or, if its true, it seems to affect Verizon and Verizon alone).
So please take upcoming Verizon phone releases with grain of salt. In the end, ObjectExchange, MP3, Java, etc., will all (likely) be disabled when Verizon releases their versions of the phone.
