Verizon Wireless will launch the Samsung SCH-U620 as their phone featuring mobile television based on the MediaFlo technology the CDMA carriers in the States will use.

Its internal memory can be expanded via microSD cards.

Still there is no official announcement of the Samsung SCH-U620.

Verizon Wireless announced two new entry-level phones. First one is the Pantech PN-300, a clamshell that has two displays, the internal of which supports 65k colors. It lacks camera and advanced multimedia features, as it is targeted to people who don’t want to spend much on their mobile phone.

It seems that the clamshell form-factor is the main selling point for entry-level devices, as the other phone Verizon Wireless will offer is also of this design – the Kyocera K323. This one is coming with internal antenna, built-in camera, and bluetooth, but it will also be one of the free phones the carrier will offer in its line.

It’s expected for the Pantech PN-300 to launch very soon, while the Kyocera K323 will be available later, but probably before the end of the year.

Though we are seeing fewer Nokia CDMA phones on the market, the Nokia 2366i is set to make a splash on Verizon Wireless. The simple flip phone doesn't show off with flashy colors (the 2366i is dressed in basic black), but instead grabs your attention by its slim profile (just under 0.5 inches). The clamshell also includes GPS, Bluetooth, voice tagging, and a speakerphone. Though the handset packs in an FM radio, it's missing a music player and a camera, both of which are becoming standard features on most phones.
