    The “Massaging” tag is getting my hopes up for these phones …

    • nefan65

      Massaging? How does that work? Does it have a button that keeps it vibrating or something???

  • MacMan

    I think these are going to tmobile.

    • nefan65

      Yes, that big Verizon logo on the top of each of the phones is a dead give away…WTF???

      • MacMan

        Sorry I look at specs not pictures.

      • LaShawndaD@TeenMobile

        While Teen Mobile gets the worst phones, these are surprisingly going to VZW, which save one or two android phones has the worst lineup next to magenta crotch.

  • Mr. Miller

    WTF are these? Where is the iPhone 5 and 6? Where is the Palm HP Pre PLUS 2 (squared)? Where is the Windows 8 with Microsoft Office and NT capable? Nice going VZW! GEEZ!

    • nefan65

      Those are awesome phones! Everything is retro now, and that’s what VZW is going for now. Around the holidays they’re going to release a 4lb phone, that’s as big as a shoe, and you can carry it around in a bag…

      It’s called “Innovation”

  • Mr.Bill

    I as an insult used to knock the iphone for having a postage stamp sized display. I guess I can not do that anymore.

    Damn, thats a small screen.

    • Darwin

      The iPhone screen is the same size as many other screens but the iPhone 4 with retina display is so sharp, clear and bright it doesn’t matter.

  • that guy

    to me they look like “newer” versions of the Dare and EnV 2/3…

  • Bob S.

    Is that real? The one on the left? The one that says “My Verzion?”

  • Hindustani8

    How much would one have to pay for data?

    • Joey

      NO DATA!!

  • Darwin

    Those phones were severely beaten with an ugly stick.

  • michael scott

    Looks like the ‘Voyager 2′

    • michael scott

      And what is the other one? Is that a *real* camera phone?

  • Jje

    wow this should be on prepaid.this is sad just like there over priced plans :(

  • Mommy here now

    Ok children now you can stop talking sh** and get you a** to school and learn how to spell . this is place for comments .

  • Wireless Fool

    We’ve been selling the Octane at Costco for a few days…in fact if you buy any Android phone you can get up to 4 Octanes free on a new family plan…and it opens much like the Voyager does, and thankfully won’t require a data plan of any kind.

  • nefan65

    I’m not bashing them because they’re not Smartphones. I’m bashing them because they’re ugly phones, period. You can still design a nice non-smartphone, with no data. They look cheap and plastic.
