The new Samsung SCH-430, most likely the successor to the Samsung SCH-410, has just been approved by the FCC for Verizon.

Specifications are kept secret, but we definitely shouldn't expect much from a phone that comes for free with a 2 year agreement.

FCC unveiled the Samsung i770, the global version of the i760, bound for Verizon.

We've first heard about it back in November, some of you might recall.

The phone comes with GSM and CDMA radios, as well as WiFi and Bluetooth, and probably even HSDPA. That's fine.

Just one observation: they could really change the design, if you ask me.

A while back Verizon promised to release three new phones in April.

Two of them are already available, I mean enV(2) or XV6900, but the third Motorola Q9c is still missing. According to a reliable source, the phone will be available for purchase in Verizon's B2B, web, and telesales channels on May 9 alongside the BlackBerry Curve and Samsung Glyde.

Verizon will be the second CDMA operator to offer the BlackBerry Curve.

The phone will be available online starting May 9, and on May 12 it will appear in stores. The prices are $319.99 with a $50 rebate on a 2-year contract or $439.99 contract free.

Sprint in its turn still lists the Curve as "Coming Soon", despite that the handset should have been already released.

According to a trusted source, Samsung U940 Glyde will be available from Verizon starting May 9th.

There were many photos published over the past couple of weeks, but the exact release date was unveiled only now.

The phone will cost $299.99 with a 2-year contract, $369.99 with a 1-year subscription, and $419.99 contract free.

According to some sources Verizon plans to release three new LG phones in the near future. They are:

• VX8610 Decoy: slider cell phone with a built-in removable Bluetooth earpiece. It should be available for purchase online starting May 30, and in stores starting June 9.
• VX8560 Chocolate Flip: an updated version of the VX8600.

Verizon is about to release the new LG enV(2) clamshell, the better looking successor to the enV model.

The phone comes in black and features a 2Mpix camera, microSD slot, GPS, and a large 2.4" display.

The release date is April 30th, so be prepared...

 

Nokia came up with yet another stylish low-end clamshell with the model number 6205.

The phone will be available on Verizon's CDMA network sometime in mid-June and will sport features like MP3 player, VGA camera and two screens.

FCC unveiled Casio's latest handset called G'zOne aka "Boulder".

The phone will support dual-band CDMA radio with EV-DO Rev. A data, push-to-talk, Bluetooth and will be available from Verizon Wireless in the near future.

That's all for now...

Palm Centro is now available from all U.S. national operators.

The last carrier to join the group was Verizon. The handset will be available in blue color, the same that was released recently in Mexico, with more versions to come.
