Verizon has confirmed the upcoming release of the BlackBerry Tour on its network by unveiling a teaser page for the smartphone. There's just a fancy product shot and a newsletter sign up, but this could only mean that the official launch is nearing fast.

Surprisingly, Bluetooth SIG has recently certified the upcoming Motorola W766 (codenamed "Harmony"), and published some photos of it. This flip phone is really nothing special, and is all set to replace the low-end W755. Expect the release to take place in a couple of months on Verizon.

Verizon Wireless has lowered the prices for its enV3 and the enV TOUCH handsets. Both phones are now $50 cheaper than they were originally, and are available for $79.99 and $99.99, respectively.
