HTC Ozone
(Credit: Verizon Wireless)The HTC Snap is making its rounds to the various carriers. First Sprint, then T-Mobile, and now Verizon Wireless.
Rebranded as the HTC Ozone, the Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone will be available online starting June 29 and in Verizon stores on July 13 for just $49.99 with a two-year contract and after a $70 mail-in rebate. This is an incredible deal especially when you consider that unlike the Sprint version, you're getting world-roaming capabilities and wait for it, wait for it ... integrated Wi-Fi.
In addition, the Ozone will support a number of Verizon services, such as VZ Navigator and Visual Voice Mail. The messaging-centric smartphone features a full QWERTY keyboard and supports Microsoft Exchange synchronization and other popular e-mail services (Yahoo, Windows Live, AOL). Other highlights include EV-DO Rev. A support, a microSD expansion slot, a 2-megapixel camera, and stereo Bluetooth.
On Sale Now: $24.99

Seems very inexpensive for what it does, esp with a seperate keyboard for entering contacts/ texting etc
Eventually they will run out of clever things to call all theses phones, and at this point you can tell that that time is fast approaching. The phone itself does look cool though, and at $50 I don't see why you wouldn't get it (if you are a WM fan anyway)

- Just got mine today. I'm liking it with exception to the tiny buttons.
