HTC Ozone comes to Verizon June 29 for under $50

Is it cooler than Sprint's Snap? That's for you to judge, but whatever the case, Verizon has now announced its own version of HTC's latest WinMo Standard handset. The so-called Ozone features WiFi, global roaming capability, VZ Navigator and visual voicemail support, a QWERTY keyboard (which feels great if it's anything like its cousin's), and a beefy 1500mAh battery that we're betting will keep this thing going all day and then some. The best part, though, might be the price: it'll be just $49.99 on contract after rebate when it launches online on June 29 and in stores on July 13.

So wait, you can get the global HTC Ozone for $100 less than Sprint's non-global Snap? What's the catch? Other than that, I'm pretty sure specs are identical. Maybe Sprint's pricing it so they don't pull anyone away from the Pre? It's apples to oranges, but some people don't care.

Either way, save a $100 bucks on this phone, and get a better network. Sure, you can save on your monthly bill with Sprint, but at least I can make calls. Sprint is useless in my area.

Actually the Sprint Snap doesn't have wifi either......Verizon's got the much better phone and at a better price

Too bad that the Sprint version is pathetic.

Sprint works very well in my office and house, and I am on the old Sprint Sero plan ($30/month which includes unlimited data and text).

I guess I will just have to use another phone (Nokia E63) for my international travels.
