According to some leaked reports, the Samsung Omnia 2 and the LG Chocolate Touch BL40 are supposedly gearing for release on August 23rd. A snapshot of a leaked document from Best Buy seems to indicate this news. According to these reports, the BL40 and the Omnia 2 will be released side-by-side. A veritable clash of the titans, we say!
There are supposedly some other devices on release too, including the Samsung Rogue, Solstice and a red Xenon. There is also the mention of a Samsung Tour – we don’t quite understand that, since it’s already released on Sprint and Verizon. Samsung’s “green phone”, the Reclaim, is also set for release on August 16. Hmm, looks like a good, interesting list out here. We’re just hoping all this info is true….
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?
The BlackBerry Thunder had made an appearance long back and then had mysteriously disappeared into thin air, leaving the Storm to take on mobile world by veritable storm.
Now the Thunder has just as suddenly entered the scene with Verizon this week. We are not so sure about this smartphone though – it might just turn out to be the Storm 2 after all. You never know – considering the course of events, the next ones could well be named Tornado, Tsunami and so on!
Here is a video walkthrough of the Motorola Rival, which is Moto’s latest messaging phone, slated to go to Verizon. As you can see, it has a solid structure and a QWERTY keyboard with a resistive touch display, so as to give users a far better experience.
Take a look at the video below and tell us what you think.
