Hot new phones coming to Verizon next month!

Rumors are rumors, but we have proof thanks to an internal Verizon Wireless document that the carrier will offer a few hot devices for the Holidays…

The VZW Omnia is listed on several websites that say it will not have WiFi, what a pain in the a** that is. We already know the GSM version has the WiFi radio. Why would they take it off?

Free web browsing by phone is a big turn on.

I just ran over to Best buy to check out the Diamond and the touch pro. I know the Omnia isn't out yet but I wanted to see if I really wanted the touch pro. Of course the didn't have a working touch pro in stock at my store but had a demo one with no battery. I compared them for size to my razor. They were both slightly bigger then the razor. The diamond screen seemed to small and the touch pro actually wasn't that thick but I didn't like the way the keyboard fit. It seemed to loose and didn't really lock in. Maybe because it was the demo. So now I feel like Goldilocks.. too small... too big...LOL Hopefully the Omnia will be just right!!

What I want to know is if the GPS can be used on the Omnia without subscribing to VZNavigator. Anyone know?

Well, the title of this thread is "Hot new phones coming to Verizon next month!", so what do you think?

anonymous,

I think the article should have been "Hot new phones coming to Verizon eventually".

For all we know this memo was months old and there have since been delays. I don't think anyone really knows when we'll see them.

I think we'll see the Storm in Nov and I'd bet that we don't see any of the WM phones this year.

the omnia is already listed on verizon rebates that end on the 15th of november so it will be out before then

and if you have read this thread you will see on page three that the omnia has failed testing and apparently been delayed. Can anyone else confirm this?

Hey ya i want to get the pro or maybe the omnia or even the storm but the pro looks the best for me. I heard that the pro for Verizon is going to have an a lot slower processor i think 400 when it is originally 528 Mhz processor. I also heard that it will not have an accelerometer can any one hopefully not confirm this information.

I can confirm the VZW Touch Pro is identical hardware-wise to the Sprint model. They had one at our store today.

#198 - And "our" store is what? A Verizon Wireless store? Verizon Wireless authorized retailer?

How exactly did you check the processor/chipset/memory? Was the keyboard the same? The pictures we've seen of the Verizon unit have an arrow key between the N and M, was that there?

Official store. Processor and memory was checked via WM's About window.

Does the omnia have a gps chip that connects to the satellites that vz navigator will use?

Am I the only one seriously looking at the saga? I mean, the others are nice, but with the saga it seems like VZW finally has a decent, standard WinMo phone.

No, but apparently you and I are the only 2 people who like it! I don't really care for the color, would prefer business black, but I think the phone itself looks like everytihg you would want in a business phone wiith some extras for media play time.

I think it looks pretty nice. I would consider getting despite the fact that I think WinMo is getting a little long in the tooth. 6.1 isn't really cutting it given the storm, android and iphone. I like that it has wifi and nothing types faster than a real keyboard. The camera is a little weak, but it is supposed to be a phone. Knowing verizon they will have a business black option. It passed the FCC today:

I was looking forward to the Storm, but the interface is too iPhoney, but actually seeing and playing with it may change my opinion though... The Omnia looks cool and has great features, but coming of an i760 and the slide-out keyboard I like the Pro. But I'm going to hold off all opnions for 6 months when NE2 kicks in!!! The pulling of 2 Samsung phones off the lineup (i760 and Glyde) makes me esitant to look at the Omnia or the i770.
