The HTC Snap has already been customized by the most important American providers like Sprint (HTC Snap S511) and T-Mobile USA (Dash 3G), so it’s Verizon’s turn to give its customers the device. We have seen their very own version of the HTC Snap several times before and we all know that the name that it will have in the market is going to be HTC Ozone.

However, this time we have more information at our disposal, like the full list of features and specs. Being presented as a global handset, the Ozone runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, which makes it part of the smartphones family.

The new Verizon phone comes equipped with dual band 1xRTT/EV-DO Rev. A, quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, a SIM card provided with Global Support Kit, GPS functionality, Wi-Fi, and access to the Verizon Navigator service.

Other features refer to a 2.4 inches QVGA display which is not touch sensitive, a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, voice command, Mobile Broadband Connect and Visual Voicemail support, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, a microSDHC card slot for expandable memory of no more than 16GB.

The 1500 mAh battery provides up to 290 minutes of talk time and up to 324 hours of stand-by time. The new Verizon phone measures 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches and weighs 3.7 ounces. It seems that the Ozone will become available starting June 29th or July 13th.

The American people cannot complain about the cell phone market existent in their country, because there are many powerful carriers that are eager to satisfy their needs at a maximum level of performance. So it’s no wonder that June 5th is going to be a very busy day for the guys over Verizon who announced the introduction of LG enV Touch in their line of products.

But it seems there will be one more South Korean phone to hit the American market on the same day and it will be sold by Verizon also. The phone will be called LG Glance VX7100 and it won’t be much more impressive than the enV Touch, but Verizon sure hopes that it will bring a significant number of customers.

The slim candybar has a cover that looks like being very exquisite and expensive, even if it’s not made of expensive materials.

The features include a 2 inch QVGA display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, CDMA 1xRTT connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity, and 2.5mm headset jack. It measures 4.31 x 1.87 x 0.38 millimeters and weighs 2.92 ounces, while the battery provides no more than 350 hours of stand-by time.

As for the price, you should know that the Samsung VX7100 is expected to be sold for approximately $50 ($49.99, to be more precise), but only if you’re willing to sign a 2 year contract agreement. The price is what you get after a $50 mail-in rebate. The retail price, on the other hand, is of $219.99.

According to Wikipedia, Verizon Navigator, also known as VZ Navigator, “is a GPS navigation software for Verizon Wireless phones that turns the phone into a GPS navigation device. It is a white label product based on Networks in Motion’s AtlasBook mobile navigation platform. It is compatible with many recent Verizon GPS phones, and available through Get It Now. It uses both GPS and cellular antennas through Assisted GPS”.

Because VZ Navigator has reached that point where it had to be somehow improved in order to be even more successful than it already is, the company decided to make it… global. Because you know that globalization is one of the main directions these days.

Therefore, here we have the global version of the Verizon Navigator, which gives you the possibility to find the locations you’re looking for or to have an easy access to turn-by-turn directions not only in the North American continent, but also in the Western Europe.

The countries included are the following: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The customers who decide to use the software can choose between two default languages, English and Spanish, and two different ways of marking distances, miles or kilometers.

The VZ Navigator Global is available for an amount of $19.99 per month, but it will be found on the Storm 8530, the BlackBerry phone that you all know very well.

The Samsung Alias 2, which is also known as Samsung U750, was first seen in the last couple of days of March (this year, of course), but at that moment no one knew enough details about it, and the release date was no exception.

Rumors circulating the web these days say that the Samsung Alias 2 is expected to be introduced in the market on May 11, via Verizon Wireless. More than that, according to the source of these rumors, the guys over Phone Arena, the device is said to come, just like we all assumed in the first place, with the e-ink technology.

The Magic Key keypad of the Samsung Alias 2 is based on the electronic ink technology, which helps it convert the standard keypad, an alphanumeric one, into a full QWERTY one. It only depends on the way you open the flip phone. The different keypad can be seen in the pictures.



According to Verizon Wireless, the device comes with the following features: the QWERTY keypad, the Magic Key keypad with e-ink technology, a 2.6 QVGA display, a 2.0 megapixel camera, dedicated hot keys that give the user the chance to access the most used features by one-touch, Bluetooth, text messaging, voicemail, voice commands and games.

Unfortunately, we don’t know the price, but we promise to keep you informed.

It’s not bad. With each day that passes by, we are offered more and more cheap cell phone plans for all sorts of handsets that are meant to help us surpass these tough times. If you remember well, back in January FCC gave its approval to a Samsung phone, called Samsung Smooth U350. It took a couple of months until a carrier took it under its wing, but it’s better late than never. Not always, but the rule applies to this situation, that’s for sure.

The device can be purchased from Verizon Wireless, and the announcement comes after the introduction of another Samsung handset in the Verizon line of products, the Samsung Trance. According to Verizon, the Smooth “appeals to tweens, teens and parents alike”. And it might be true, because as you’ll be seeing shortly, it doesn’t come equipped with ground-breaking features, even if you can find the GPS technology and the VZ Navigator on board.

If you are not looking for the most advanced mobile phone available right now on the market, then the following features might satisfy your needs: a 1.9 inches internal display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, a VGA photo camera, Bluetooth, voicemail, email and web browser. The Samsung Smooth measures 3.78 x 1.87 x 0.76 inches and weighs 3.35 ounces. As for the battery, it provides approximately 300 minutes of talk time and no more than 336 hours of stand-by time.



If you’re willing to sign a 2-year contract agreement, you can purchase the affordable flip phone for only $29.99. For signing a 1-year agreement, you’ll receive a price of $99.99, and if, on the other hand, you want to get it free of a contract, the price goes up to $199.99.
