It’s about time we got some official confirmation from Verizon! The long-rumored phone (which was damn near confirmed in every way, shape, and form outside of official word from Big Red) has finally been officially acknowledged by the carrier and is on its way sometime soon. Pre-sale starts this August 11th (tomorrow, if you’re reading this on published date!) which – if previous Verizon pre-sales are anything to go by – means we could be seeing this phone sometime next week.
All of the August 12th launch date rumors be damned, August 11th is still technically just one day before that window: could we be seeing a 24-hour pre-sale window through the carrier? No date has been confirmed so the actual launch date is still in limbo, but failing that, just remember that we usually see Verizon phones released a week after they go up for pre-order. If the date doesn’t turn out to be August 12th, we’ll all have to point and laugh at ourselves and get a refresher on the true meaning of the word “rumor”. In any case, we can finally say the phone officially exists and is ready to go on sale.
Confirmed specs and features: Android 2.2 with Flash player 10.1, 3G Mobile Hotspot, a 3.7-inch display, 8GB of on-board storage accompanied by an 8GB microSD card, Blockbuster and NFL apps, and more processing speed (if we’re going by what we officially know). We should also be seeing the R2D2 special edition of the device sometime next month complete with Star Wars content to sink your teeth in. Read on for the full press details.
