An anonymous tipper informed Engadget of a few new Verizon phones that will be launching in a few weeks. The information was leaked yesterday and is rapidly spreading through the blogosphere. The new phones, from left to right, are the Samsung Juke, BlackBerry Pearl, LG Venus and LG Voyager which will all hit the market at the same time.
Apparently, the highlight is the Voyager, or VX10000. Engadget notes, "The phone sports a large external touchscreen, along with a lateral-clamshell form factor that opens up into a QWERTY keyboard and another well-sized screen, both screens are QVGA," Engadget said. "Verizon is bragging of a full HTML browser, along with the expected microSD expansion, 2 megapixel camera, A2DP and some built-in stereo speakers."
The phones will be arriving just in time for the holidays, so make sure you fire off that wish list soon.
