Verizon Wireless to launch Samsung U340

We know this Samsung isn't that Samsung Roc says, "more on that later," but some things are better than nothing, right? Enter in the latest addition to their low-tier handset lineup, the Samsung U340. Now there isn't a lot to write home about, but this device has all the standard goodies like a VGA camera, an internal 65,000 TFT display, an external greyscale display, speakerphone, and a feature called I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) which allows access to a limited contact menu when the phone is locked. Look for the device to release on February 2nd with the following pricing: $149.99 on full retail, $79.99 on a one year, and $29.99 on a two year. Roc even says that there will be an exclusive offer for online activations / renewals making the device free after instant rebate.

What? I hope you don't actually mean that the a870 is the only Samsung in their lineup. Go check out the 930 and 990, both Samsung's currently offered in the VZW lineup.
