QChat phones, others launching on Sprint mid-April?

by Chris Ziegler posted Feb 23rd 2008 at 11:02PM

Word on the street is that customers might be getting their first crack at Sprint's QChat wares rather soon -- April 16, to be exact. The news comes from phoneArena, which reports that the LG LX400 (pictured) will be launching alongside Sanyo's PRO-200 and PRO-700 on that fateful day, presumably along with the Direct Connect tech (and iDEN heir apparent) itself. The LG is rumored to be coming in at an SRP of $279.99, while the two Sanyos check in at $249.99 and $269.99, respectively. Also slated for April launches are the BlackBerry Curve 8330 in "titanium" along with Sanyo's Katana LX, a replacement for the Katana II that'll presumably keep its slim profile but carry over the forgettable VGA cam.

Well I'm really excited Sprint is rereleasing the 8830 World Edition in Titanium...NOT! Although it they do get the 8330 Curve with GPS and 2MP Camera on April 16th I'll definetly be picking one up. Now the Treo 800 is launch ready so where's that at? Why hold on so long..if it doesn't make it out soon Palm may have to combine with Motorola and form the Cell Manufacturer Has Been Committee playing shuffleboard at CES 2002.
