Verizon Wireless Announces Four New Toys
Filed in archive Mobile by jeff goldman on October 18, 2007

Only a couple of weeks after its last announcement of new phones, Verizon Wireless today announced four new PDAs and smartphones - the Samsung SCH-i760, the Verizon Wireless XV6800, the Palm Treo 755p and the SMT5800 smartphone.
The SCH-i760, XV6800 and SMT5800 all run Windows Mobile 6 Professional and include a slide-out QWERTY keypad. The Treo 755p runs the Palm OS, and eliminates the traditional Treo antenna to make for a sleeker phone.
Any customer with smartphone data plan or a voice-and-email plan of $79.99 or higher gets $100 off the price of any of these devices - and since they're designed for data, it's likely that most customer will get that discount. Which is nice.
Still, InformationWeek's Eric Zeman is unimpressed - and I agree completely. "Truth to tell, these smartphone are a bit boring," he writes. "Why? Because they're not new. They've all been around in other incarnations for the better part of a year..."
