Verizon Wireless set to launch Samsung U740

We didn't think it would be too long after CES that the dual-hinged Sammy U740 would make its way to Verizon Wireless, and we were right. Looks like the Samsung will launch February 6th and will be priced at $149.99 on a (gulp) two year contract, $219.99 on a one year contract, and $269.99 full retail. It sports a 262,000 color display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and expandable memory. Lets cross our fingers and hope they don't pull a PN-820-style wait on us.
