Verizon's Casio C721 Exilim 5Mpix cameraphone was first spotted in February. Since then we haven't heard anything about it, until today. Buywirelessnow has published a new picture of this unannounced handset, and named some of its accessories. From the image we can see that the phone's lower flip will come a champagne/silver color, while the upper flip will be black. There is also a "Media Center" icon in the middle of the homescreen.
All of the previous rumors were true - HTC's already-dated Touch Diamond will be hitting Verizon Wireless tomorrow, April 10th, at a price of $299.99 on contract after $70 mail-in rebate. Is it just us, or is the price tag too high?
The recently leaked LG enV3 (LG VX9200) for VZW is a direct successor to the LG enV2 handset. It doesn't differ much from the previous model in terms of design. Its external display is slightly larger, external keypad design is a bit different, and it comes with a 3Mpix camera. The phone also has a folding QWERTY keyboard and an internal screen.
According to BGR, Verizon is ready to launch its custom version of the HTC Touch Diamond for all B2B, web and telesales customers. The handset will be available on VZW starting April 10 for $199.99 on a 2-year contract after mail-in rebates, or for $469.99 w/o commitments.
A couple of blurry spy photos of the Verizon’s version of LG enV3 have surfaced today. At the first sight, is doesn’t seem to differ from the original enV3, though upon a closer look, one can notice some minor differences, among which are the numeric keypad, custom QWERTY layout, and the upgraded 3Mpix camera.
A device called Verizon MiFi 2200 has surfaced today, and it appears to be a personal Hotspot with built-in rechargeable battery. It connects to Verizon's EVDO data network and allows you to use it on your laptop, connected to the device via Wi-Fi or USB cable. We don't know whether it is possible to connect multiple laptops at once, though. Stay tuned for more details.
We hear that Verizon is planning to release the OS 4.7.0.113 firmware as its next official firmware for the BlackBerry Storm. That's definitely nice to hear, as the last official update from Verizon was released 4 months ago, and during that time we've only seen countless unoficial builds.
Anyway, here you can find the list of the available fixes and updates.
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.
