Just a few more days until this dual-core Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet arrives at Verizon Wireless. Best Buy already put the device up for sale last month. Verizon’s version is now up for pre-order, with a 10.1″ display at 1,280 × 800 resolution, a 3-megapixel camera right at the back, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat, and 4G LTE connectivity.

The 16GB and 32GB models will retail for $529.99 and $629.99, with a two-year contract. A Wi-Fi-only 16 GB model is $499.

The iPad 2 is all about sharing this time around since Verizon Wireless and AT&T will both be offering the iPad 2. Verizon Wireless is already starting to advertise the the iPad 2 even though it isn’t out yet. They are probably trying to sway all of the fence sitters, though we aren’t sure if this advertising will be effective.

Because we are pretty sure that everyone already wants the iPad’s sequel without seeing any advertising. At any rate, when March 11th comes around, you can head to your nearest Verizon Wireless store and seal the deal.

Verizon has gone official with its plans to offer the iPad in its brick-and-mortar stores starting on October 28. VZW will be bundling the WiFi-only iPads with its own MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot with pricing at $630, $730 and $830 for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions of the tablet.

There’s just one access plan being offered for now, giving users 1GB of monthly data in exchange for $20 and no contractual commitments. AT&T will match the release date and upfront prices for each model, but its iPads will be the WiFi + 3G versions.

Thanks to some folks at Best Buy, we have a few images of the upcoming Samsung Intensity II which should arrive from Verizon Wireless soon. What you see is the display unit, but we can tell you that the Intensity II will feature a full QWERTY sliding keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a $1 price tag from Best Buy with a 2-year contract.

Don’t want to be tied down? In that case it will cost you $249.99 for an unlocked handset.

Verizon and Pantech are almost ready to release a successor to the Razzle. The handset is dubbed the Pantech Jest. It’s a slider that sports a QWERTY keyboard and it’s expected to be launched very soon. The info is pretty detailed, so it seems legit.

No mention of price, but some specifications include that QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera, microSD card expansion up to 16GB, a 2.5mm headphone jack, Dedicated messaging key, GPS and VZ Navigator support.

If you’re looking for a feature phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, you’ll be glad to know that Verizon Wireless has officially announced the Samsung Reality (SCH-U820). The device will be available starting April 22nd from Verizon Wireless for $79.99. That’s after a $50 mail-in rebate, bundled with the customary 2-year contract.

Motorola hasn’t really had a hit when it comes to cell phones since the Razr was so hot several years back. Since then Motorola has been losing market share and popularity at a rate its shareholders are sure to not like.

Verizon Wireless announced today that is has a new exclusive handset from Motorola called the MOTO W755. The device looks similar to the popular Razr phone and is available in slate black or purple colors. The phone has a built-in music player and supports AAC, AMR NB, MIDI, MP3, and WMA V9 file formats.

Smartphones are fast becoming an important tool for both businesspeople and the common Joe. We can thank the iPhone for much of the improved sales of smartphones as other makers rushed out tons of devices to compete with Apple’s gem.

At CTIA 2008 Motorola announced the Moto Q 9c smartphone and Verizon Wireless announced today that the phone is now available for purchase. The device runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard and has access to POP3 and IMAP4 email accounts.

With all of the phone announcements Verizon Wireless has made today ahead of CTIA 2008 you have to start wondering if they are holding anything back to actually announce at the show. Thanks to the iPhone touch screen devices are still all the rage right now.

Verizon is continuing the touch screen craze with its XV6900 handset. The device has navigation at the touch of a finger and come in what Verizon calls pure white color. The thing looks more silver in the pictures to me. The XV6900 measures a compact 3.98” x 2.35” x 0.56” (L x W x D).
