Verizon gets Motorola VU30 next month, Nokia 7205 not until December?

So we don't think Verizon really intended to leak any handset release dates via a slide about Mobile Email launches on various devices -- but alas, they did. At present, the Moto VU30 is scheduled for a September 9 date with destiny, and it seems that its name has changed from "Utopia" to "Rapture" somewhere along the way. Further out, the LG VX8360 (which we're guessing will be an update for the forgettable VX8350) gets real in October -- and unfortunately, that shiny, hot mess of CDMA technology from Nokia, the 7205, appears to be shelved all the way back to December. There's also a u440 "Cleo" from Samsung in there somewhere, too, though no launch window is listed. Anyway, sorry for the interruption, Verizon; please, continue fascinating us with your stories about mobile email.

when are we going to find a release date for the touch pro!?

Probably, like the Diamond, and most other HTC devices, wait until Telus in Canada announces that they're the 'first in North America' with it, and then add on a few weeks after that?

Why is "July 31st" next to the UTSC 8010?

Because it launched on July 31st as the Blitz

how does this dopey phone get a sweet name like "Rapture" and the touch pro gets names like "Herman" and "Raphael". The naming departments have simply gone retarded.
