So I just got back from the Verizon Upward Mobility Launch. This event was basically a REV-A launch for Verizon in the Phoenix Valley. Many software app venders were there to display their wireless apps capability on REV-A. But was most interesting was the two new phones we will be seeing with Verizon in the next 30 days.
First was the Samsung , it was definitely a nice device, especially being able to access a hard dial pad without sliding the phone open. The demo unit in Samsung's booth was only running WM5 but the rep stated that it will have WM6 and REV-A on release. The release date stated by this rep was before the end of the month of June!!!
Second was the US Starcom XV-6800 (HTC Titan). This phone was sweet!!! I took some pictures with my XV-6700 as posted below (not very good pics). Very thin and the assisted screen lift was great. I will be purchasing this phone. The demo unit the rep had only had WM5 but he stated that on release it will have WM6 and REV-A. The release date stated by this rep will be July 14th!!!
