We've heard about a good number of these phones were bound for Verizon Wireless already, but if this leaked doc via
Boy Genius Report is to be believed, we now have a much better idea when they should be within reach of consumer hands. First up is
Samsung Rogue for sometime this month (we
previously heard today, but that's looking very doubtful at this point) for an estimated $370 subsidized. Next on the calendar is the "female centric" Nokia Twist 7705 in late September for $230, which more likely than not is the swiveling device we've seen on
two prior occasions. Also due out next month is the Samsung
Intensity for $130 (screenshot after the break). LG Chocolate Touch was rumored by Best Buy for today, but here it's listed for an October debut, along with
Storm 2, a "low cost QWERTY" HTC Razzle / Blitz 2 (
XV6175, perhaps?), and the Motorola
Sholes "Google Phone,"
red D-pad likely in tow, all with TBD price tags. Rounding out the list in late November is the BlackBerry Curve 2, which we wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the
8530. The first one expected for public is the Rogue, replacing the
Alias 2 that just launched back in May. What gives Verizon, no love for e-ink textpads?

No TP2? WTF.
And its a good thing, verizon would probably majorly fuck it up again like they did with the original TP
yeah genius, because specs for the TP2 have already been confirmed.
They just barely got the Diamond...What do you expect?
uh, the Diamond2 has already been confirmed as coming soon too. Look up the Whitestone and Rhodium W, and get out from under your rocks.
Not to mention, what does the Diamond have to do with the Touch Pro2?
Scholes is a google phone???
Yea its running on Android
Can't wait for the sholes !!
So where's the Omnia 2?
It's overseas in a Vodafone store.
Why don't you go pick one up for me?
Maybe it's coming to Sprint at this point. I would think this roadmap would show it if VZW were getting it...
Why'd you link moto sholes to pages tagged that, this is the only one?
Probably because there was nothing else to link to...
I didn't mean to sound like a dick I was curious
I'm really surprised the Alias is getting dropped so quickly. I really like the E-Ink display...
the rogue is a glyde replacemnet not an alias replacement... right?
The Rogue looks more like a replacement for the Glyde than the Alias 2. Maybe a typo on the roadmap.
"Female Centric"? That's a little degrading, don't you think? Females have been known to buy the same phones as men. They don't have to be pink and glittery to appeal to women.
That's like creating a phone with chrome trim and a police radio, and calling it an ethnic model.
What? I was with you until that last line...
After I posted, I realised I hadn't quite got the point across with that. If only engadget allowed post editing.
Point still stands - gadgets that patronise people by treating them as stereotypes suck.
racist
Throw in a 22" golden spoked jog shuttle and I'll buy one.
God damn it where's the flippin Touch Pro 2.
Bah! I hope Verizon doesn't have a crazy exclusive for the LG. That BL-40 is really tempting but I'll never go CDMA again =(
VZW is already calling the HTC Ozone XV6175...
That what I was thinking, but sadly the CDMA versions do not have inner circle like the T-Mobile version, but Ozone does have Wi-Fi something the Sprint version does not have. So, I am thinking that this could be the Ozon with the inner circle feature?
Some jackass at a Verizon store by me told me the iPhone is coming to Verizon the the end of the year
If the IPhone comes to Verizon, it won't come until LTE arrives.
It absolutely with 100% certainty is not, and don't expect it in Q1 2010 either
Ross:
"Rogue, replacing the Alias 2"??
Don't you mean it replaces the aging Glyde?
Nokia Twist
Blackberry Storm
LG Chocolate
HTC Razzle
sounds yummy.
Just needs a bit of whipped cream on top.
Yea but LTE isn't coming any time soon well at least to a small are of the country but it is possible they could have a CDMA/LTE combo. Its funny cause I know more about cell phones and upcoming phones than the Verizon guys know.
The Moto Sholes looks pretty amazing. I'm eager to give that bad boy a spin.
