HTC Imagio, formerly Whitestone, gets the Verizon touch October 6th?
Verizon is expected to launch a couple of HTC handsets next month. On October 6th, Big Red will release the HTC Imagio, formerly called the Whitestone. The phone will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 and offers up some outstanding specs like a 5MP camera with AF and anti-shake, and a 3.6 inch WVGA display. Under the hood is a Qualcomm 528MHz processor and 512MB of ROM/256MB of RAM. And while it is not Snapdragon speed, it is powerful enough to keep your applications running smoothly. Throw in Wi-Fi and TouchFLO 3D to complete the picture and you might be able to Imagio this phone in the palm of your hand. We would love to give you an idea about pricing, but alas, none has been revealed. The HTC Imagio bears a resemblance to another of the Taiwanese manufacturer's candy bar shaped phones with a virtual QWERTY. A hint: it is a gem of a phone.

The same tipster who gave BGR the info on the Imagio also reports that Big Red is expected to launch the Android powered HTC Predator later next month. Not much is known about this handset, but if is going to launch later in October, we're sure that more info will be forthcoming.

Sure as heck contradicts this article! http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/17/verizon.cellphones/index.html?iref=newssearch

This thing looks like a beast. Verizon needs to keep adding more like these and start phasing out some of their other phones. The CNN article is true to an extent, Verizon's lineup is showing a little age. But if you read between the lines, it's just another "all praise the iPhone" article. According to the media, every phone pales in comparison to it, and every carrier pales in comparison to At&t because they don't have it. Simply not true. CNN is little more than a yellow journalism production lately.

True, very true.

Thank you for the article post too. People line up to bash the iPhone on all of these posts. A lot of times, other news gets lost in the shuffle. Verizon needs to step their lineup just a tad bit, and in spite of CNN's limitations these days, their article did point that out. I for one think the iPhone is a good device, but there is no way anyone can rationally argue that it is the best, or that it "sucks."

what does a fantasy news show like fox have to do with reality of cell phones

Really? Fox News? Really?

Lately? How about since its inception. If it were a newspaper, CNN would make a great fishwrap.

That's the best comment i've ever read on this site. Right on!
