Not confirmed but the word out there that after the Blackberry Storm’s major release there will be three more Windows Mobile based phones coming out for Verizon before the end of the year.
Starting form the Left is the Samsung Omnia which is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro based phone with a customized sidebar widget interface. In the middle is the HTC Touch Diamond Pro which will be called the XV6850 on Verizon. (Not sure why they just can’t keep it the Touch Diamond Pro a lot easier name to remember) and on the right is the Samsung Epix which is currently released in GSM form on AT&T and the CDMA version to come to Verizon next month.

The official press release has been published and the long awaiting Blackberry Bold is coming to AT&T November 4th @ $299.99 for a two year contract Ouch! The mail-in rebate is for $100 (Why on earth do companies still do mail in rebates to hope you don’t mail it in I suppose. Mail in rebates=FAIL), and if you’re not down with a 2-year agreement, the Bold will run $375 with a 1-year contract (and the same $100 mail-in rebate), and $550 with no contract.
A bit high compared to other PDA/Smartphone and advance devices out there. I would expect a drop in price by either Christmas shopping season or by the beginning of next year. If your a die hard blackberry fan and need the latest right now grab it up Nov. 4 if not I would wait for the price drop that is sure to happen after the rush.
