It’s a well-known fact that Verizon is still lusting after the Palm Pre, though the company tried very hard to play it down. Verizon’s aim was to overthrow Sprint’s hold on the smartphone. But Sprint wasn’t giving into its rival’s opinions and remarks even back then, during its launch.
Verizon, is anyway, in no mood to give up its quest for the Pre. They have now claimed that they will be getting the Palm Pre “early next year”. Of course, Palm must be feeling extremely flattered with all the attention they are getting. Good place to be, huh?
We had told you recently about the BlackBerry Curve 8520 going to Vodafone UK (click here for original post). Now, Pocket Lint has gotten some great pictures of this wonderful smartphone, boasting of an optical trackball, non-3G, entry level device.

The BlackBerry 8520 will also be available with Orange and Carphone Warehouse as well. The latter will offer this cutie in a different shade – violet. Just for your information, the 8520, also hailed as the Gemini, is coming to T-Mobile USA on the 5th of August (most probably). Anyway, enjoy the pictures of the handheld and also click here if you wish to see the entire photogallery.
While the US is getting ready to welcome the HTC Magic lookalike myTouch 3G smartphone, the UK has gone one step ahead and is now going to launch an Android-based version of the HTC Hero, calling it the G2 Touch. The official carrier for this one will be T-Mobile UK.
The G2 Touch is expected to hit the European market in a few weeks from now. British customers can expect the smartphone for online sale tomorrow itself, with the device hitting retail stores very soon, “over the next few days”. Now we are truly jealous of UK residents. Grr….
