W315 PEBL look alike headed to Verizon

For those who loved Motorola's styling of the infamous PEBL -- but have no desire for GSM handset, Verizon and Moto have heard your call. Well sort of. The Roc was able to sneak out some more marketing photos of what is the soon to be announced Motorola W315. Its form factor, with vertical outside display and soft touch finish, bears a striking resemblance to the PEBL -- but the similarities stop there. Other features include a 65k CSTN color display and a 1xRTT radio (yep, they left out EV-DO support on this puppy). Other details of this device such as the camera specs are not known at this time, but we have a feeling the Roc will come through with the deets soon.

Camera specs? As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a camera? And the pictures clearly don't look like there is one...

There is no camera. It's already out for Alltel.
