Verizon has confirmed that species will be released before early 2010 Palm, but it seems the giant CDMA operator prepares a slightly different version of the Pre. According to Phone Arena, Verizon will be called before Pre Palm Plus – although there is no word yet on what the “more” is presented. Perhaps more internal memory – say, 16 GB instead of 8GB? Probably we’ll know soon.
Another smartphone that Verizon must hit in the coming months is the VS750 LG – a device with Windows Mobile 6.5 with support for CDMA and GSM frequencies (which is a global smartphone). It is said that the VS750 is very thin, but other details are not known.

Remember that BlackBerry Essex without notice, first appeared in September? A Verizon branded version that has been detected in the wild, confirming that the largest airline in North America will launch sometime in the near future. According Salomondrin, the Essex 9650 could be released by Verizon in a month or so – maybe at the same time with the Plus Pre Palm, Motorola and LG Devour VS750.
The Essex is also known as BlackBerry Tour 2, which should be a successor of the Tour 9630, launched by both Verizon and Sprint this summer. Unlike the Tour 9630, the Essex / tour2 9650 has optical trackpad. Other than that, its features include Wi-Fi and it is likely that all other things that the original Tour. The 9650 Essex will probably be launched by Sprint as well, but no word yet on whether this can happen.

Customers of Vodafone and Verizon get himself aware of a spam message that carries a Trojan and will get to your inbox at any time. The email will come in the form indicating that your account has exceeded the limit. This email looks like it came from Verizon and Vodafone with the theme “The balance above your credit limit, and also offers an attached” corrective balance “for you to verify your payment.
But in reality the so-called “equilibrium correction” which is a zip file, is actually a Trojan horse that can do more damage. The email also includes phrases such as “Please use the attached Verizon (and Vodafone) Balance Checker tool to review and analyze your payments” to lure you into opening it. Once you open the attachment, then you’ll get infected with a trojan called RegRun.

Sprint heard Verizon’s announcement of the Blackberry Curve 8530 and decided the proper move would be to throw in its 8530 announcement early in response. Their version of the phone will also have EVDO and WiFi included. We agree that was the right move. Verizon’s just having a heyday today with the Droid and Droid Eris coming out, as well as announcing several other devices. Sprint needed to do something to divert at least some of the attention away from Big Red.
No pricing set yet, but with Verizon’s model priced at $99.99 we anticipate a similar pricing on Sprint’s end, though it wouldn’t surprise us if Sprint undercut Verizon’s pricing by a small margin.
Sprint’s version will come in a choice of royal purple or black.
