A Howard Forums member gave us the idea how the upcoming LG VX8560 music flip phone will look like.

You can see it on the photo to the left. It has a red-colored profile, dedicated music keys, and a small camera on top of the external screen. Unfortunately, no details concerning the phone's specs were unveiled so far.

The second handset you see on the picture is the LG VX9700 scheduled to be released by Verizon in May.

Verizon started offering a new 50MB EV-DO data plan for $39.99 a month to its subscribers.

While it’s quite expensive and limited, especially in comparison with Cricket's plan, those who don't use traffic hungry services like YouTube will probably find it convenient.

Verizon Wireless has recently released the new Motorola Z6cx World Edition phone.

This is the same Z6c, only without the 2Mpix camera. Most likely Z6cx was made specifically for those, who are not allowed to bring the camera on work.

Anyway, both models are available for $179 after rebate with a 2-year service agreement.

FCC has just approved a new good looking PRADA-like LG phone model called VX9700. It should be available in the end of the month through Verizon Wireless, but the release could be delayed.

Anyway, here are some of its specs:

• Large bright touchscreen;
• 3.2Mpix camera with flash and Schneider Kreuznach lens;
• 2.

New better shots of the highly anticipated Samsung Glyde have been leaked by a Howard Forums user.

Now we can take a closer look at the phone's unique user interface and some of its applications. Apparently, Glyde will feature a full HTML browser, which makes it a possible competitor to the iPhone.

Anyway, the first quarter is closing to an end, but Verizon doesn't rush to announce the release date.

Following its new trend to replace model numbers with words, Verizon has renamed the Samsung U740 into "Alias".

No explanation was given for the name change.

Just to remind you, the SCH-U740 aka Alias is a thin clamshell phone with a 1.

Check out the first spy shots of the upcoming Motorola W775, a CDMA clamshell for Verizon.

It is a little similar in design with the V8 model, and features a 1.3Mpix camera and 80MB of internal memory.

Just to let you know, starting March 2, Verizon Wireless will limit its BroadBand Access unlimited data plan to 5GB.

Now customers who exceed the 5GB cap will be charged $0.49 for every single megabyte in plus.

I think it's time they rename this supposedly "unlimited" plan to "Simply Limited".

According to reports, starting late March Verizon will begin selling the new Samsung U940 CDMA mobile phone as the Verizon Glyde.

I guess this is the case when a new name can supposedly attract more attention to an already known handset.

Stay tuned for more details next month.

The new Samsung U550, which has passed the FCC a month ago, is now available from Verizon.

It is a simple mid-range EV-DO clamshell with two screens (internal of 220×176 and external of 96×96), 1.3Mpix camera with Night Shot mode, EV-DO and Bluetooth support.

I can only add that the price is very reasonable - $69.
