PCD's swively TXT8020 is Pantech born and raised
Remember how we noted an uncanny resemblance between PCD's TXT8010 -- better known as the Verizon Blitz -- and the TXT8020 revealed at CES this year? Turns out there's a great reason for the similarity: they're both made by Pantech. We've been sent this nifty little graphic showing one of those EV-DO-enabled TXT8020s bearing Pantech branding, and while we still don't know what carriers plan on carrying this sucker, Verizon sure does seem like the perfect fit, doesn't it? More on this bad boy soon, hopefully.[Thanks, Jeremy]
PCD shows off pair of texters at CES
PCD has this amazing ability at each and every trade show it attends to show off unreleased gear on giant banners attached to its booth. It's always been unclear to us whether this is intentional or whether they're just trying to stretch their hard-earned dollars by buying a single booth design at the beginning of the year that can last them a full twelve months, but either way, who are we to argue? This time around, the PCD oracle has revealed a couple of trick QWERTY dumphones, the TXT8020 and TXT8021. Looks like these'll succeed the TXT8010 -- which Verizon customers know better as the Blitz -- though it's unclear whether Verizon (or anyone else) intends to actually pick 'em up. Not bad looking for what they are. Follow the break for a better-than-real-life video of the banner!
