FCC gets visit from the HTC Vigor with support for Verizon's LTE network

Now that the Motorola DROID BIONIC has been launched, some Verizon customers have turned their eyes toward the high-end HTC Vigor. The Vigor has just made a visit to the FCC showing off CDMA/EV-DO connectivity and support for Big Red's 4G LTE pipeline.

While HTC has kept a tight lid about the phone, it is expected to offer a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor under the hood and a 4.3 inch screen with 720p resolution. 1GB of RAM should be on board and the rear and front camera are said to weigh in at 8MP and 2MP respectively. 16GB of internal storage will be on the handset. As we reported, this model could be one of the first from HTC to offer technology from the partnership between the Taiwan based handset manufacturer and Beats by Dr. Dre.

We could see this beast launched by Verizon early next month with October 6th a possible date. Speculation is that the HTC Vigor will be priced between $250 and $300 after a signed two-year contract.
