In addition to the HTC Imagio, Verizon rolled out four other devices today. The Nokia 2705 Shade is a tiny flip phone that's designed to fit in a purse or pocket, and comes in camera and camera-less versions. Despite its small size, it features VZ Navigator compatibility for turn-by-turn GPS directions, switchable covers, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and Bluetooth; it will list for $29.99 with a new two-year agreement beginning October 6th.
Next up is the military-spec Motorola Barrage (pictured), a rugged cell phone that can stay under several feet of water for 30 minutes. It features Push-to-Talk, a 2-megapixel camera, and support for various optional VZW media services. It costs $129.99 after a $50 rebate and with a two-year agreement. This one hits November 16th; a non-camera version will be available for order on October 21st.
The Verizon Wireless Razzle features a tilt-and-swivel design for messaging fans. It also includes a music player, support for V CAST Music with Rhapsody, a 1GB microSD card, a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a 2.2-inch LCD. This one will check in at $69.99 with a two-year agreement sometime later in October.
Finally, the Windows XP-powered Gateway LT2016u netbook is, obviously,
a netbook and not a cell phone. It features Verizon mobile broadband
built into the device. It also includes a 10.1-inch WSVGA (1024-by-600)
LED display, an extended 6-cell battery, a Web cam, an
industry-standard Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard
disk. Look for this one on October 4th for $149 after a mail-in rebate
and with a two-year agreement and $39.99 (250MB) or $59.99 (5GB) per
month.
