LG Cosmos Touch hits Verizon November 23rd for $80
We're having a harder time by the day getting excited about a touchscreen dumbphone with a 1.3 megapixel camera for $80 -- especially now that you've got a number of respectable Android choices below that price point -- but if you're an LG diehard, you need physical QWERTY, and you couldn't care less about the Android Market, we suppose you might want to give the once-rumored, now-official Cosmos Touch a look. Besides the 2.8-inch wide QVGA display, you've got Bluetooth 2.1, memory expansion up to 16GB, some semblance of social networking support, and VZ Navigator turn-by-turn navigation on board. Interested? Head on down to the store next Tuesday, November 23rd where you'll pay $79.99 on contract after a $50 mail-in rebate.
Verizon's new rebate form shows two Droid 2 Globals, Samsung Continuum, and more
Carrier rebate forms have a fun tendency to reveal unannounced hardware, since they cover several upcoming weeks when they're published -- and Verizon's latest for the month of November is a particularly juicy one. Here's what we've got: There are two SKUs listed for the Droid 2 Global, but only one for the Droid Pro, leading us to wonder whether it'll actually be the Global that's getting a cameraless version. Speaking of Motorola, the WX445 Citrus is in the mix for the first time. The Pre 2 is in the system with a $100 rebate. There are two new SKUs for the Bold 9650, possibly indicating the release of new versions with BlackBerry 6 pre-installed. The LG Cosmos Touch is in here, which we imagine will be a touchscreen successor to the Cosmos. There's a Samsung Zeal listed with a $50 rebate, but we're not sure what it is -- we know that Sammy has a number of Android phones in the pipe for Verizon, and we suppose this could be one of 'em (likely low-end considering it's not a $100 rebate). More interestingly, the Samsung Continuum is in here, suggesting that the November 8 event could be for this dual-screened (and Galaxy S-branded) beast. $100 rebate here. Of course, November is a time when retailers of all types and sizes bring out new products in time for the holidays, so we're not surprised to see the mother lode here. Who's excited?
