Best Buy nabs exclusive on Verizon Blitz Titanium

by Chris Ziegler posted Oct 23rd 2008 at 1:13PM

If you're not cool with the Blitz's original blue -- well, first of all: hater. Secondly, plan on trotting out to your friendly local big box come this Sunday, October 26 for the release of Verizon's baby QWERTY set in "titanium," which is an uppity word for gray. No word on pricing yet, but we're thinking it won't break the bank.

[Thanks, Carter]

Sometimes, its the beauty on the outside that counts... and this lacks ANY OF IT

The phone's geared more to young people who just like to txt. Got one of these for my daughter about a month ago and she loves it. It doesn't have EVDO access, so it's a bit slow if you want to browse/download, but that's not what this phone was designed for.
Have to say that I'm a bit more fond of the blue color - it stand out from all the black/red/gray phones already offered.
Just my $.02

Why are we a hater if we didn't like the blue Blitz?? Just because we're not sold on alliteration, no need to be calling us names!

In any case, this "titanium" version INFINITELY looks better than the blue one. I'm sorry, but I just could not respect the blue--it looked like a toddler toy!!
