Verizon announced that they're done supporting the old BlackBerry 8830, but assured that an official upgrade to OS 4.5, up from the build of 4.2, is on its way and will be available in the nearest future. That's nice, but too bad they couldn't do it a little faster, as Sprint subscribers have already received the updated software for the said phone.

Mobileburn came up with a short video review of the new Nokia 7205 Intrigue for Verizon Wireless. Check it out if the handset is of interest to you. The second part is coming soon.

Verizon Wireless has released the Nokia 7205 Intrigue, which is now available for purchase for $130 after a $50 mail-in rebate. It features a 2Mpix cam, A2DP Bluetooth and microSD card slot.

If the latest rumors are to be believed, Verizon Wireless will be releasing the new BlackBerry 9630 Niagara in May. It's not official, of course, but who knows, sometimes rumors hit the apple. Stay tuned.

It seems that LG has finally decided to replace its old VX10000 Voyager with a new model. The new LG VX11000 has been spotted yesterday at the FCC site, and apparently will be heading to Verizon Wireless. Currenty we only know that it's a CDMA phone with Bluetooth and EV-DO, which will get a codename later on.

We'll keep you informed on this one.

An unknown HTC handset was spotted at the Global Certification Forum recently. It's called the XV6175 and is apparently  headed to Verizon Wireless. There is no additional info about it yet, except that it's probably a CDMA / GSM worldphone. Stay tuned for more details.

This is the concept design for the future Vodafone 135 handset. While it may look luxurious, it's designed as an ultra low-end cell phone targeting developing markets. It even lacks the color display, leaving us with a one black & white.

This phone should be available on prepaid packages when it's released.

The Verizon's new Samsung u350 Smooth doesn't really look all that smooth to us. Rather it's angular and ugly entry-level clamshell, which has nothing to offer besides the crappy VGA camera, not even a memory card slot. Good thing it'll cost you nothing, if you buy it from on contract after a $50 rebate.

Several new pictures of the stylish Nokia Intrigue 7205 flip were leaked today. The phone was first heard of a year ago, and now it's on the current Verizon Rebate Form. There will be two color versions available: the all-black one with a cubic d-pad, and one with a pink keypad and flowery d-pad.

Other features include a QVGA display, 2Mpix camera, Bluetooth, VCast video, Mobile Web, and microSD memory card slot.
