A new Nokia phone is heading to Verizon Wireless but details about it are very limited right now. According to secret sources the new handset has a swivel mechanism and resembles the E71, which is one of the best phones Nokia launched last year. Will the swivel version be just as good or way better?

Verizon is supposed to launch it this summer, sometime in July or August so we’re waiting for all the hot specs by then. What we do know is that this QWERTY Nokia phone will be running Symbian S40 and not S60. What do you think?

The HTC Touch Diamond2 is on its way but in the mean time Verizon Wireless seems ready to officially launch its own original Touch Diamond. The phone will be available for B2B, web and telesales customers starting with April 10 while everyone else will get later on. The phone will sell for $199.99 with a 2-year agreement after mail-in rebates. The phone is also available for $469.99 just in case you don’t want to be tied to Verizon for two more years.

Just in case you forgot what an HTC Touch Diamond features, here’s a quick list of specs:

• CPU: Qualcomm 7500A
• Speed: 528 MHz
• RAM size: 128MB
• Flash size: 256MB
• Display resolution: 480×640
• 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus

Looking for a worthy upgrade to your ageing enV2? You may not have to wait long as we have news that the next iteration in the enV series is already on its way, worthy or not.  According to VZW E, a member of HowardForums, who posted the pictures, the vx9200 or the enV3 sees a bump from 2 megapixels from its predecessor to 3 megapixel and a few structural changes including a curved external dialpad and the omission of one space bar button on the QWERTY keypad found inside.  The display has added on a few more pixels from the looks of it, while the flanking stereo speakers remain where they were on the enV2.  Not much of an upgrade if you ask me, but without the complete spec list, we might be wrong after all.  Read on for one more fuzzy shot of the enV3’s exterior…

The gadget above is the new Novatel MiFi 2200 personal hotspot which should be released by Verizon Wireless soon. The device isn’t bigger than a credit card and it will offer you about four hours of EVDO connectivity on each charge. You will be able to connect your laptops and cell phones to it and surf the Internet while on the go. Is there a data cap? How much will Verizon charge per month for the service? We don’t have all the hot details so far but the MiFi router should sell for $200 when Verizon decides to release it.

Verizon Wireless is going to start selling netbooks soon. And to be more precise, Verizon will sell 3G-enabled netbooks by the end of the second quarter. For now we have no idea what netbooks are going to arrive from Verizon but we should assume that plenty of netbook makers out there will be interested in selling their netbooks under Verizon’s name. AT&T is already selling $99 Acer netbooks so we should assume similar prices to arrive from Verizon.

The Samsung U-350 or the Smooth is a flip phone scheduled to arrive on April 1 from Verizon Wireless. It’s an entry-level phone, successor of the U-340 which will bring you a 128 x 160 65k TFT display, 1xRTT support, a VGA camera, Bluetooth, GPS and various Verizon services like Chaperone, VZ Navigator, Mobile Email and Mobile web. The phone will cost $30 for a 2-year contract with a $50 mail-in rebate. Not an impressive handset, but certainly one that’s worth your attention if you’re looking to buy entry-level phones only.

We have one more trial craving our attention. ITT Corp has decided to sue Verizon alongside a handful of cellphone manufacturers like Motorola, Nokia, LG and Kyocera over GPS patent infringement. The companies have allegedly violated one of ITT’s patents which relates to position information transmitted in urban areas with line-of-sight obstructions. A jury trial is being asked for and subsequently ITT will ask for lots of money.

These three phones from the big names in the mobile market are expected to make an impact. Each boasting of their own set of features and freebies and are bound to be best buys from the best cell phone manufacturer today.
