LG Versa heading to Verizon on March 1

by Chris Ziegler posted Feb 26th 2009 at 12:01AM

If you're the type of individual who can never decide between the Cobb salad, the lobster bisque, and the sesame prawns and end up ordering all three, take note -- your phone has arrived. The long-rumored LG Versa lets you have your cake and eat it too by starting life as a full touchscreen slate, and when the time comes for some serious emailing, texting, or notetaking, you just snap on the included cover that includes a full QWERTY keyboard. The cover also features its own OLED display -- handy, since the Versa's 480 x 240 main display is concealed while the cover's closed -- while the phone itself rocks EV-DO Rev. A with tethering capability, a 2 megapixel cam with face detection and video recording, microSD expansion, and GPS. It'll be available starting March 1 for $249.99 on contract before a $50 mail-in rebate.

Do you mean Wi-Fi? Because it is a wireless device.

I have been waiting to see some VZW phones include wi-fi. Let's go Big Red!

Agreed. I was somewhat excited about the Versa due to the promise of the Wi-Fi "module." However, I have seen very little mention of the attachment anywhere but on blogs. Plus, I'd rather have it integrated. VZW doesn't offer me a lot of Wi-Fi options. I guess I'll be off-contract a while longer...

I hope there will be a new line of products like this (think symbian or android).
I really dig the form factor. It reminds me of HP 28 C : http://www.hpmuseum.org/img/28cs.jpg

uh-oh is that a 3.5mm headset insert...? Apple is going to have something to say about that.

2.5 headset jack Nate! What is apple going to say anyway? The Dare and Incite are both 3.5 hs jacks!

Unfortunately, from an earlier post it looks like it's a 2.5mm.

Sadness. :(
