Right on cue according to our scoop, Verizon launched two new devices today in the Motorola Rival A455 and the Casio EXILIM C721. The Rival is a pretty standard messaging device that has a full QWERTY keypad, a 2 megapixel and a 2-year contract price of $99 after a $50 MIR. Have at it, tweens. The EXILIM on the other hand, which goes for $279.99 after rebates on a 2-year deal, features a 2.3-inch pivoting QVGA display, 5.1 megapixel camera with auto-focus, flash and 3x optical zoom, GPS and all of the standard Verizon apps that you would expect. Oh, and it also meets Military Specifications 810F standards making is dust and water resistant. So what say you, people — do either of these devices strike your fancy or are you waiting for something bigger and better to come along?

    Are you absolutely nuts Don Louie Cantone???

    My company uses only Verizon and AT&T. ALL of us travel for work and Sprints coverage everywhere is so awful that we no longer use Sprint. This is a 3,000 employee company that does consulting work.

    I had a Sprint for a total of four months about a year ago and most of the major metropolitan areas that I traveled to had poor service and more dropped calls I can count. I feel sorry for all of those people who are jumping ship to get the Pre, they will kick themselves in the head.

    YAWN – boring phones. I have been with Verizon for a LONG time, but about to jump. My son jumped about 3 months ago to get an iPhone. I gave him a hard time about it, but now I am going to leave. Verizon has spent so much time and money telling us about how great the network is (and locking out our GPS) that seems like AT&T’s coverage is catching up. For our area it works great. So bye bye Verizon with no iPhone and 1+ years late on the Blackberry releases!

    Mitch, I would blame the devices you and you company used. Chicago and the surrounding burbs, MI, TN, GA, IN, NV in 8 years of service and no problems with money to spare. Whatever major cities in the previously mentioned states I traveled to were fine on voice and data. As a matter of fact last year I convinced my BM to drop ATT for Sprint an other than stupid reps occasionally we’re all good. I pay the bill
