New Verizon rebate sheet emerges; Touch Pro2 and Twist in tow

Exclusive

Yesterday we exclusively pinned the launch of Verizon’s HTC Touch Pro2 as September 11th with an extremely competitive price tag of $199.99. Following those juicy little tidbits, a tipster hit us with the new VZW rebate sheet hot off the presses. You know the disclaimer — a handset’s presence on a rebate sheet doesn’t necessarily mean it will launch during the sheet’s period of validity. At the same time, it certainly suggests a general time frame and supports our reported date. Beyond an appearance by the Touch Pro2 at the very end of the handset list, we also see the Nokia 7705 Twist, which is reportedly launching online on September 13th for $149.99, and then through additional channels the following week. The Samsung Rogue and Intensity are also present and accounted for, both set to launch on the 8th for $99.99 and $29.99 respectively. Hit the jump for a larger version of the rebate sheet.

Thanks, E!

    the twist is ugly.

    no sholes? no desire?

  • nokidding

    obviously there is no sholes, no desire.

    Why do you people ask the same questions on EVERY post. Esp when it is 100% self explanatory that there is no sholes or desire on there.

    Just like when they announce a new Verizon handset that every likes. All everyone asks is “when it is coming to sprint” IF THEY KNEW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU! This is an informational blog, when they get the information they tell you. Just because you ask doesn’t make them magically know when/why something happened.

    I wish the industry would stop beating around the bush and finally address what everyone wants, an iPhone on Verizon. Every other release is just a distraction.

    i see thew 9530 on there with $100.00 rebate

  • Legolus

    So the Omina II is either:

    a) out there on launch a date
    b) has no rebate (gulp)
    c) super cheap to start (yippie!)

    On a side note, can someone explain what this means:
    “Rebates will be mailed within 2 weeks after receipt of claim, but may take up to 6 weeks.”

    Where the hell are the rebates being mailed that they take so long to get to and from? Either that or there’s one poor sap at a PO box doing one at a time.

    @Funky.

    My last rebate went off to Austin, TX. Of course it’s not verizon doing the rebates. But still, I got mine fairly quick.

    Yeah I figured, but it’s been 4+ years for my last VZW rebate and couldn’t remember where I sent it last. It must be some sort of corporate/lawyer/CYA double speak.

    I jumped shipped to AT&T for a better phone, but I am switching back for better service now that VZW isn’t killing their phones anymore.

    Now if I can just get a TP2 and an Omina II in hand to decide which I want. The Omina II looks fantastic, but the lack of keyboard makes me nerious, but if iPhone users with a lower res display and poorer display can handle it so can I.

    Honestly, if there was a OminaII world phone from Verizon I would be sold without thinking about it. WiFi and Skype overseas doesn’t sound like a lot of fun to me.

    Looks like we’ll have to wait until after October 3 to see the Omnia 2…

    You can already get the TP2 on tmobile for $199 you just need to do more research.

    What’s the weather gonna be like in 2020, Mr. Wizard?

    “Everything else is a distraction” ~ iSheeple.

    Look, I got no problem with exclusitivty ‘rights’ being burned at the stake, but I’m not quite sure you know just what “the whole industry” or “everyone” wants. To be frank, I don’t think ‘everyone’ really _knows_ what they want–heck, most folks can’t tell the difference between a prettied-up dumbphone and a smartphone/ppc..

    “I wish the industry would stop beating around the bush and finally address what everyone wants, an iPhone on Verizon. Every other release is just a distraction.”

    Yeah, that makes total sense, Verizon should never put out another phone again until it gets the iPhone! Even if it goes bankrupt in the meantime, right?!? Right?!? Who else is with me? If you are, I’ve got some swamp land to sell you!

  • JoeTour

    Where is david thande 1 ? Which planet did he choose, mars or venus?

  • ding

    But will it have winmo 6.5?

  • Justin

    Talking with Verizon customer service and technical support, there is no one that can see any rebate for the touch pro2.

  • Sonya

    @ Justin

    That’s odd, the rebate didn’t show up on the website till later but when I called this morning they were aware of the rebate.

  • Sonya

    Does anyone know when the next rebate sheet will be out?
