The
PN-820 is the most interesting of Big Red's latest batch, but we've got a couple new arrivals to talk about on the low end as well. The
MOTOKRZR K1m Fire is purty much like any other
K1m, with the exception of a gloss red shell -- just in time for Valentine's Day -- which can be added to the pocket or gift box of your choice for $100 on a two-year agreement after discount. The
Samsung SCH-U340 shores up Verizon's already well-stocked low end with a VGA cam, speakerphone, and not bloody much else for the attractive price of "free" after all the discounts have been applied and you've signed on the dotted line.
[Thanks, Jhonny and Brian D.]

It is so silly for Verizon to keep offering these low end phones (u340). While the red Krzr will sell i'm still not impressed. Does anybody know why they aren't offering more popular phones?? are they protecting there bottom line or something? Unfortunately I live in a black hole in my city where Verizon is the ONLY cell provider that works in my home. I really like candy bar phones and Verizon has ZERO of them. I know all about the "soon" to be offered SLVR, but i'm getting sick of waiting. Scrolling down Verizons phone page is rediculous, how many clamshell phones with antenna boners do they need.

People want low-end phones, believe it or not.

Anyone know the release dates for the Razr max and the Slvr for Verizon?

The low end of the market is HUGE.
The biggest cell phone retailer in the country is Walmart

Wow i didn't know that, Walmart huh. Then i suggest Verizon release a phone with multicolored flames and maybe a nascar logo. They could make a sweatpants and 80's rock t-shirt cover for it, lol. I too am waiting for the Slvr and i remember hearing something about the 18th for the maxx so maybe they will drop them together, i hope.

Right now I'm torn. I went and saw the Fire K1m yesterday and I fell in love with it. It's a little "pink" but not too gay. But I don't wanna lock myself into a contract until i'm sure.

I welcome any basic phones as I'm a low-end phone user who does not mind a stubby antenna but still wants choices. Also, a camera of somekind is nice now a days.

Verizons Entire line-up is "DumbPhones"
Name one with Bluetooth that has Bluetooth OBEX
That isnt a PDA
Nokia 6256i - the only one in years, notice how fast it came and went?
And they all have the same retarded menu.
Yuck.
