Verizon to get the LG Cosmos VN250

LG has come out with quite a few QWERTY messaging phones for Verizon over the years, from the original VX9800 in 2005 to the enV3 and enV Touch last year. But for Sprint the Rumor and Rumor 2 have been pretty big sellers, so why not make a device like that for Verizon? Well, LG has done just that with the Cosmos VN250, which is expected to be released on March 25th. Features of the LG Cosmos will be pretty similar to the Rumor 2, as it will have a sliding 4-row QWERTY keyboard, front numeric dial pad with navigation d-pad, 2" display, 1.3MP camera, microSD memory card slot, microUSB data port, and a 2.5mm headset jack. We're waiting to hear-back from our source on the pricing, but it is expected to be budget-priced device as it only features 1X data (no EVDO) like the Samsung Intensity U450. Good news here is that the Cosmos will not require a data plan.

Thanks to a friend for the info!
