We’ve gotten the inside track on a few dates on Verizon’s radar for the next few months, and it looks like the boys and girls in red are prepping an interesting mix of exclusive and Sprint catch-ups to keep customers fat and happy. As handsets go, the Motorola Q9c is planned for April along with the TouchFLO-powered XV6900, LG enV2, and the CDMA rendition of the BlackBerry Curve (so much for exclusivity clauses on this one, it seems), while the Samsung Glyde is currently slated for late April or early May. Centro fans will be happy to hear that the diminutive Garnet phone will finally hit Verizon following Sprint and AT&T launches in the tail end of May or the beginning of June, followed shortly by the Nokia 6205, which apparently isn’t either the 2505 or 7205 unless one of those flips have been renumbered.
As technology goes, Verizon looks to launch EV-DO Rev. A-based push-to-talk services — Sprint folks will know this as Qualcomm’s QChat — toward the end of May. We’ve also caught wind of something called “Verizon Hub,” which we’re told will go head-to-head with T-Mobile’s HotSpot@Home service. It’s not known whether this’ll be a WiFi setup (a la HotSpot@Home) or adopt Sprint’s CDMA femtocell strategy, but seeing how Verizon and Sprint seem to be endlessly engaged in a game of cat and mouse, we wouldn’t be surprised to see ‘em go with femtocells. We don’t have a date on Hub just yet, but it’s targeting the second half of the year at the earliest.

They haven’t revealed anything we didn’t already know, but AT&T’s finally come out with a semi-firm date for the launch of its MediaFLO-powered mobile TV service which will be branded simply as “AT&T Mobile TV.” It’ll be available to subscribers in May — no specific date just yet — on two exclusive handsets, the Prada-esque LG Vu and the more pedestrian Samsung Access; the Vu features an expansive touchscreen and 2 megapixel camera, while the Access makes do with a smaller landscape display and a 1.3 megapixel sensor. Both feature Bluetooth and 3G data, but the real story here is Mobile TV itself, which will come with two new channels that are exclusive to AT&T (in other words, unavailable on the other live MediaFLO service, VCAST TV from Verizon). The latest, hottest way to burn productivity on the go gets real in just a few short weeks, folks, so finish up whatever remaining work you have now.

Why wait for an official announcement and an upgrade that may (or may not) come at some point in the distant future? Do any of us really have the patience for such tomfoolery? We don’t think so, which is why it warms our hearts to see the whole BlackJack community huddling together to create, test, and perfect a Windows Mobile 6.1 stack for their beloved devices. It’s still in the beta phase, but it’s plenty real and the testers are plenty active, giving us hope it’ll be stable enough for widespread consumption in the not-too-distant future. At this point, it seems like there’s a 6.1 group rallying around virtually every WinMo device out there — so have hope, (insert device name here) user.

We’ve just received a fresh round of release dates on AT&T, and if we had to pick a single word to describe the theme here, it’d be “colors.” Shades upon shades of phones — both new and old — will see a release on AT&T in the next couple of months, starting with the Sony Ericsson Z750a, the first 3G Sony Ericsson to be released by a carrier in the States (but not in North America — that honor belongs to Rogers); it’ll hit in your choice of gray, pink, or purple in early April. The now-ancient UTStarcom 5700 finally sees release toward the end of April more than a year after we first saw it in the FCC’s business, giving a lower-end choice to the Windows Mobile faithful. Finally, May should bring about the LG CU720 Shine in black, following its initial offerings of silver and red.
Oh, and it looks like the Motorola Z9 and the black Centro should be widely available pretty much any minute now — stay tuned. Strangely missing from the list is the Vu, though that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be released by the end of May, it merely means that AT&T’s not sure yet. Surprise, surprise.

We don’t know much of anything about these two, but as phoneArena points out, their model numbers suggest that they’ll shore up T-Mobile’s bottom shelf (so to speak — we don’t think T-Mobile stores really have a bottom shelf, per se). The T229 and T339 look the part, too, though we suppose the squarish T339 has a sorta stately, uptight appearance that we think could pass for a slightly higher-end device. No word on a release date or anything like that, but with any luck, we’ll find out a thing or two about ‘em at CTIA next week.

While Samsung is a perennial innovator when it comes to hardware, software has never been the company’s strong suit. Lucky for us, the new TouchWiz UI Samsung is building for its touchscreen phones is a significant step in the right direction, and the new AnyCall Haptic SCH-W420 looks to be the perfect way to show it off. Centered around a 16:9, 3.2-inch screen, the phone includes DMB, a 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth 2.0. Haptic feedback in the form of vibrations help out with the UI, and home screen is customizable with widgets. The feature set seems to be squarely targeted at the consumer, but the price sure ain’t — the phone is launching in Korea starting at 700,000 KRW and ramping up to 800,000 KRW ($700 to $800 US). Video is after the break.
