Don’t let the image above fool you, BlackBerries aren’t the only thing coming to town. Simply looking at what we have currently seen of upcoming handsets, Verizon already has quite the holiday season forming with the Moto Droid and Eris. Android isn’t everyone’s favorite mobile OS however (a travesty indeed). For those individuals, a leaked roadmap from VZW highlights everything else that is primed and ready to flaunt retail stores this holiday season.
Since we already know about the Droid and Eris, we can skip over them and devout more attention to a little surprise for BlackBerry users. Remember the first BlackBerry to be released with that next gen optical trackpad instead of the trackball? If you guessed the 8520 on T-Mobile you’re correct! The lower end Berry isn’t staying with the magenta warriors for too long as VZW has their own variant coming. This new low end Berry will go by the name “Curve2″.
Even BlackBerries aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Moving on…again, we come to the Windows Mobile camp. WinMo fans have plenty to be excited about as well with the HTC Imagio and Ozone tag teaming your senses and wallets this holiday season. Even though WinMo isn’t my particular favorite, the Imagio and Ozone don’t look half bad.
Heck, even with explosive market growth, smartphones aren’t everyone’s first device of choice either. For those looking for a more practical and easy going handset, VZW’s holiday line up is packed with a slew of feature phones that will give you plenty to contemplate as gifting time nears. With so much to choose from, what are you going to choose?
