Filed under: Handsets , LG , Palm , RIM , Samsung , Verizon Wireless , EV-DO , CDMA , Casio We've caught boatloads of noise detailing Verizon's pipeline for the remainder of the year (and possibly into early '08), but exact launch dates have been harder to come by. Granted, the carriers often don't know these until the last minute anyway -- network test failures and supply problems being what they are -- but Boy Genius Report has scored a spreadsheet that should at least start to give us a rough idea of what we can expect for the next few months. The Samsung i760 finally (and we do mean finally ) launches on October 19, followed by the Juke two days later on the 21st. The first of November sees the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 , LG VX5400 , and Palm Treo 755p (probably right about the same time Alltel gets it ), with the LG Venus coming just a short few days later on the 4th. The 15th sees two new shades for the G'zOne Type-S -- black and "burgundy / gold" -- alongside the Samsung u900 "FlipShot." The ultra-cool LG Voyager and G'zOne "Type-Sptt" (possibly just a Type-S without the cam) slide in on November 18, with two new VX8550 shades dropping on the 21st. Whew! Now, the real question: how many of these dates are actually gonna hold? Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

The latest document leak comes from Sprint and brings pictures of the carrier’s upcoming handsets for Q4 of 2007. Here we see the slew of smartphones that we expect from Sprint this Fall , including the rumors Palm Centro and Sprint HTC Touch (which, confusingly, is the HTC Vogue, which is the CDMA version of the HTC Touch - confused much?). We’re expecting Sprint to drop the LG Rumor slider-phone on us sometime in Q4. The LG Rumor will be a dual keypad/keyboard hybrid, much like the HTC Libra S720 . But, unlike the Libra S720, the LG Rumor will be a lower-end device - no 3G, no high-megapixel camera, no Windows Mobile 6.0 - and will feature a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, Bluetooth, music player, and of course that QWERTY keyboard. Sprint’s Palm Centro will also come onto the scene in Q4, packing a 1.3 megapixel camera and a slew of Sprint software - Sprint TV, Sprint Music Store, Sprint Mobile Email, Sprint Instant Messaging, as well as Versamail, Google Maps, and PocketTunes Deluxe media player. And it looks like the Sprint HTC Touch is slated for a late-2007 launch. We can expect the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional device to complement the TouchFLO interface with the same 400Mhz processor, 2.8 inch screen, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, microSD slot, and 2 MP shooter as the HTC Touch - but with EVDO Rev. A in place of EDGE. The BlackBerry Pearl 2 (8130) is the last phone in the leaked lineup and will round out Sprint’s Fall offering with the expected 2 megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth with A2DP, microSD slot, and support for Sprint Music Store and Sprint TV. We’re looking forward to Sprint’s smartphone lineup in the coming months. With the HTC Vogue, Palm Centro, and Pearl 2, we’re sure it’s going to be a hit with the young/hip set as well as the tech-head, WinMo6.0 fans out there.
