Information on upcoming Verizon phones
We've received some interesting information, revealing the model numbers of a bunch of phones, Verizon Wireless is expected to offer this year. Details are really lacking (except the names), but some of the phones have a date on which will already be showcased at Verizon stores.

Here is a list of the new devices:

• UTStarcom Touch Diamond and UTStarcom Touch Raphael: the CDMA siblings of the Diamond the Touch Pro will not come only to Sprint; big red will also offer them, most probably under the Verizon Wireless brand name.
• Samsung SCH-U310.

And of those we’ve already heard about:

Motorola Blaze will have a model number ZN4, and is expected to be in stores before 22nd September. ZN means it will be a multimedia phone.
Motorola VU30 will appear earlier than the Blaze, during mid August.
Nokia 2605 will wear the Mirage name, and is expected in stores on August 8th. The 7205 Intrigue is mentioned without a date.
Palm Treo 800w.
Samsung SCH-U430 for late August.
• Samsung SCH-U440 for the 8th of August.
• UTStarcom TXT8010 in August.

I doubt that :) sry but Diamond is WM... with amazing interface and Dare is ... just a touchscreen phone

there will ALWAYS be new and better phones coming out. So you either get one that you want now or never get one while always waiting for the next new phone.

Yeah enjoy the dare. It will not dissapoint

14. (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2008, 12:26

You can return the dare w/in 30 days of purchase can't you?

22. (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2008, 14:31

not unless you want to give verizon more money.

under the worry free guarantee, you always have 30 days from the date of activation to return your phone. no fee involved!! full refund for whatever you paid on that phone.

How about this...use the Dare for a year and then get the Touch Diamond for 2 yr pricing? Sounds like a "win-win" to me.

FYI - There in now a $20 fee involved with returning or exchanging a handset (even under WFG), unless it is a warrantee issue.

91. aaron Malsbury (unregistered) posted on 21 Jul 2008, 21:41

good point but it still sucks for the guy because the Diamond is going to be amazing... It's is going to be the closest to the iphone

97. (unregistered) posted on 01 Oct 2008, 13:24

well with the worry free you will still be charged for the data or get it now features u added to the phone... but everything else will be waived

no date on when the Touch Pro is coming out?

23. crd22 posted on 30 Jun 2008, 14:37

Raphael is similar to the Touch Pro. It's replacing the Mogul, so it's got a keyboard.

42. (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2008, 20:47

Isn't to the touch pro and raphael the exact same phone?

74. (unregistered) posted on 02 Jul 2008, 20:26

yea the raphael is just another name for "touch pro"

4. (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2008, 11:08

I was going to order the Dare in 2 days.But I am sooooooooooooooooo glad this information was posted. I am going to wait for the Diamond or the Touch Pro.

15. (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2008, 12:26

Don't forget the Blackberry Thunder is due out (tentatively) by the end of September.

All just copies of the iPhone... You know, they make a new iPhone every year. If you would just spend some cash on the "real thing" you wouldn't have to worry about something better coming out. There isn't a touch-screen phone out there that beats the iPhone. No, I don't currently own one. As a matter of fact I have a Voyager. Why? For the exact same reason you want the Diamond, or Dare, or Touch Pro, I want the iPhone. After using the Voyager I realized, why not just get the real thing? These other touch-screen phones are nothing but cheap knockoffs.

thouht you should know that iphone was a copy of many other touch phones that came out previous to it. apple just made a interface that was not wm, at&t, sprint, or vzw specific.....just get the phone that works best for your needs and budget....something great will always be "coming out soon"
