Verizon Holilday lineup leak reappears, confirms Samsung Nexus Prime for Big Red
Yesterday, a curious little document representing a possible Verizon Holiday season lineup leaked out, but it was so full of typos, we doubted it was the real deal. Today though, a very similar one, this time correctly spelled and sent to a Verizon employee, confirmed the first one for probably the most interesting part - the Samsung Prime is set to replace the Samsung Droid Charge this Holiday season.

And you know why that’s interesting, don’t you - the Droid Charge is an LTE-enabled device, which might mean the Samsung Nexus Prime will support LTE as well. The Prime is expected to be the first device sporting the upcoming Android Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's also pin-pointed to be Verizon's main Android competitor to the upcoming iPhone 5 and to different flavors of the Galaxy S II across US carriers. Previously, rumors have claimed that the Nexus Prime will come exclusive on Big Red. If we listen closely to what the rumor mill churns, we'd be able to discern the release date of the Nexus Prime, expected to be somewhere between November 17th to November 24th.

The other juicy part of yesterday’s leak, was the HTC ThunderBolt 2, aka the HTC Vigor, coming to succeed the original ThunderBolt. Sadly, it’s nowhere to be seen in this now document, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t arrive on Big Red eventually.

The rest of the mentioned devices include the full QWERTY Samsung Stratosphere, which is taking the baton from the Samsung Fascinate. The all-new BlackBerry Curve 9370 succeeds the Curve 3G, but you already knew  that if you looked at the initial Verizon roadmap leak coming from a Best Buy employee.

Also missing is the LG Enlighten, which has leaked all over the place (including the VZW fall catalogue!) and should be taking the reins from the Ally, while the Illusion takes over for the Vortex. I don't believe this is a complete list of new devices.

Unless what this REALLY means is that the Vigor is coming sooner than the holiday season.

Phonearena is famous for photoshop pics. LOL What a joke! Is it really that boring there. The "we are hiring" pop-up gets old too. :)

Damn Verizon upgrade feature phone to smartphone ends this month. Might have to get Droid bionic

Still a really, really good device from reviews I have read. Maybe the Prime makes it within 30 day return period?

Its 14 day now.... :(

It's 14 to back out of the agreement. Still 30 days to exchange to another device depending on where you go.

there's also that Radio Shack rumor that says they will slash $100 of all verizon phones

Sigh .... still not even a hint of W7 Mango. Oh well, my loss. If we decide to move to Verizon , which is the most expensive option for me but has the best reception by far in my area, this is a really, really good set of Android options to choose from. I am leaning to the HTC Vigor if I go LTE, the Droid 3 if I don't. (Not going to be in my area for a long while.) My wife will drool over the Nexus Prime, so that is the most likely for her.

I should start saving. This or the galaxy s 3??

13. remixfa posted on 14 Sep 2011, 11:41 2 1

the galaxyS-3, or what we thought it was going to be anyways, is actually the Prime. the S2's successor is a long way off at this point.

No doubt the SG3 will be a great phone but that's another life time

I wonder if I begged if they'd let me upgard my Thunderbolt early to the Vigor, or Prime for regular price.

good-luck Big Red is on a roll for Greediness

Yes, how dare they subsidize your $500 phone and then not subsidize another $500 phone half a year later!

I'm sorry, I have zero sympathy for people whining about the eeevil phone companies when they're pretty up front about limitations. If you don't like what the fine print says, don't sign a contract.

roldefol you stole my thought : )

roldefol you took the words

In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the $100 feature phone-to-smartphone credit actually allows me to upgrade before my NE2 date. No, Verizon isn't doing it just to be generous - they'd be getting an extra $20 worth of data plan out of me - but it is pretty sweet that they'll let me upgrade early.

It's not a charity case. It's a business. Businesses try to make money. If u don't like it that's ok! Nobody is gonna force u to buy verizon!
