back, people! The word we got from a very recent Verizon Wireless timeline he sent in is that the V's releasing three new EV-DO Windows Mobile devices by year's end. The
Pantech 820 (after the break) appears to have had its launch date pushed back to September 29th, but as far as we know the Smartphone will still feature a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, miniSD slot, and Bluetooth when it hits stores. The other two devices are manufactured by UT Starcom, and are codenamed Libra and Titan, which should both run Pocket PC and have pushemail support with AKU2; the Libra is looking at a November 15th launch date, just a month before the December 15th launch of the Titan (which we don't, in fact, believe has any relation to the
TyTn). Other details on the devices are kinda sketchy right now, but we're sure that they'll surface sooner than you think.

I thought that the Pantech PN-820 was'nt going to have EVDO on it? Is there any way to confirm that ?
What about the new V? You know the vx9900 that is supposed to come out on the 4th and yet no one really has any specs or real pictures....
kinda odd to not have more details... I'm waiting to take my chocolate back and pick up one of these. Several different Verizon employees confirmed the vx9900 was replacing th vx9800 but that was all they could tell me.
Anyone have more info?
There are several dates floating around, from September 1 to late October. Can anyone confirm a hard release date? Thank you.
It should be pointed out that while 2 of those will be UT Starcom branded, so is the 6700, and that is not made by UT Starcom. It is made by HTC and is a variant of the Wizard.
The 6700 is a variant of the HTC Apache, not the Wizard. Apache = CDMA and Intel processor, Wizard GSM and TI processor.
Now, on to these new PPCs. Are these UTS phones indeed rebranded HTC devices? If so, have wee seen them before? Are they QWERTY devices? Inquiring minds need to know!
