PhoneArena and various other sources are reporting that Verizon will add its own CDMA versions of the Samsung Omnia and HTC Touch Pro (XV6850) to its lineup, as well as the Samsung SCH-i770 Saga, which appears, at least for now, to be a Verizon exclusive

As more information becomes available, it will be posted to the News Center.  Verizon has yet to confirm the November release dates, but it’s fairly certain we’ll see each of these smartphones in Verizon stores before the 2008 holiday season.

new_ipaqs Two new iPAQ Windows Mobile Smartphones are coming, the iPAQ Voice Messenger and the iPAQ Data Messenger.  It’s unclear whether or not these are replacements to, or siblings of, the iPAQ Oak and Silver we’ve been hearing about for the last few months.  What is clear is that these two new handhelds represent HP’s renewed push into the consumer handheld market.

The iPAQ Voice Messenger is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard non-touchscreen smartphone, while the Data Messenger is a touchscreen Professional device with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.  More details to come.
