Verizon shows off the Casio Brigade on video
The Casio Brigade C741 has been one of those new allusive Verizon PTT phones that we've seen and read about for months now, and even got some hands-on time with in November, yet it still hasn't been released for sale, even though it did temporarily show up on Verizon's internal site. With all the attention Verizon has been giving to smartphones recently, we've begun to wonder what ever happened to the Casio Brigade? Well, it appears that hope is not completely lost, as the Brigade has been spotted in a video located on Verizon's own Facebook page. Unfortunately, the Brigade is only briefly shown in the video, and doesn't really disclose anything about it we didn't already know, such as it having a full QWERTY keyboard, 3.2MP autofocus camera with LED flash, MIL Specs 810F, 2.9" 400x240 pixel internal display, 1.9" PMOLED external display, EVDO Rev A, and supports microSDHC cards up to 16GB. We're not sure why the Brigade has been delayed, as it was intended to come out in Q4 2009, but hopefully it will be out before too long.
