Verizon Readying a 15 Phone Barrage for the Rest of

verizon_canon.jpgPhone Arena snagged some docs laying bare the rest of Verizon's 2007 release schedule'€"no major surprises here, with most of the heavy hitters Verizon versions of stuff we've already seen, or at least heard about: the Blackberry Pearl, for instance, isn't exactly tingling our spines with freshness. [BGR is saying it's a Pearl 2.] Hit the jump for a down-and-dirty bullet point run-through of the fall spoilers. '€ Moto Q9m and Q9c are the CDMA versions of the Q9h, and the consumer and business models, respectively. Q9m probably dropping by the end of the month; Q9c available Q4. '€ UTStarcom SMT5800 (HTC Libra) is a WM6 smartphone with both a numeric and sliding QWERTY keyboard, 2MP cam, 128MB flash, 64MB RAM, EV-DO (upgradeable to Rev. A). Most likely available in Oct. '€ Samsung i760 is hitting in Sept. '€ Another HTC phone, a Verizon version of the Mogul (UTStarcom XV6800)'€"same specs as Sprint's model it seems, also dropping in October. '€ Palm Treo 755p will be in available in November, running Palm OS 5.4.9. '€ RIM BlackBerry 8130 Pearl is another Verizon version of older phone, though it comes with a 2MP cam and EV-DO'€"still, not so exciting with the Pearl 2 around the corner probably the Pearl 2. No release date mentioned, oddly. '€ Moto Z6c Jackques is EV-DO CDMA but packs GSM for jetsetters who can wait until Nov. Its cousin, the Z6tv, um, has TV features, available "second half" of '07, we presume. '€ Verizon CDM-8630 is an entry level with a simple UI and one-touch dialing, also second half of '07. '€ Samsung SCH-U410 and LG VX5400 are two mid-level clamshells due by year's end, replacing the U340 and VX5300, respectively. The LG VX8300 is also getting bumped in that time frame, by the VX8350. '€ Ending the list is a pair of Samsung phones: a CDMA version of the U700 and the U900, which looks to sport a 3MP cam and high-res camcorder. Both are slotted for the last half of '07. Okay, end spoilers. [Phone Arena, Image via Flickr]
