UPDATED: Official Samsung Rogue U960 Specifications, Release Date and Pricing
Share this page:
Based upon this, the Samsung Rogue will offer solid features and will be good competition to the LG enV Touch. Only time will tell as to which device will be the better of the two.
Thanks to a friend for the info!
*UPDATE* The September 8th release date and price has been confirmed by EngadgetMobile. Pricing will be $99.99 after $100 rebate with 2-year contract, $169.99 after $100 rebate with 1-year contract, and $419.99 full retail. There is also some on-line buzz over some wording that is used on the spec sheet "Data Package or Nationwide Premium or Connect Plan required for Enhanced Multimedia Phones." This means that if you don't activate the Rogue on a Connect or Premium plan (which includes unlimited data), that you'll have to buy a new type of data plan.

the screen is brighter, stands up great to sunlinght, colors are hot, and its lower power. better all the way around.

active-matrix organic light-emitting diode = AMOLED :) if i remember correctly it doesnt use up as much battery as other screens, that was the big thing they were saying with the Samsung Impression..

someone on another website said that the rogue was going to have a document reader like the enV Touch. does anyone know if this is true?

The enV Touch will still be the best "dumbphone" in the lineup for two major reasons: Support for 1 million colors on the screen and support for online Flash videos. I do like what Samsung is doing here though. Hopefully, it will make people completely forget the nightmare-of-a-phone it's replacing: the Glyde. Plus, the AMOLED display will be a KILLER. I hope all phones eventually go to this technology as it displays colors better and is more responsive to the touch. But the real question is: How is the battery life going to improve? Since AMOLED displays conserve energy better than TFT displays, that shouldn't be a worry.

What's the difference between a data package vs a connect/premium plan? Thanks
13. remixfa posted on 27 Aug 2009, 07:20 0 0
neither, they are both unlimited internet. the only diff is the premium plan adds navigator

which is kinda a cool add on considering with the non premium plan vz nav is an extra 10 bucks...

Does this mean people like me on the Nationwide Basic with Vpak won't be enough?
14. remixfa posted on 27 Aug 2009, 07:20 0 0
vcast is the unlimited internet for phones that dont have it as a plan, ur fine.

321, is on to something with necessary plan change becoming necessary to own a feature phone. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was Web OS, Android or WinMo, they figured the Instinct made good and now has offspring too so Verizon could milk more money to increase the APRU

or it could be that the internet is active w/ or w/out a plan, and just like when smart phones used to have a pay as u go, u get A LOT of complaints from parents and idiots wondering why they are being charged per MB. it actually increases happiness and reduces complaints.

Again, will this phone use the VPAK or the $29.99 data plan?
