Verizon Wireless Razzle and Nokia 2705 Shade to hit Verizon Wireless October 6th
While all the world is heralding the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 on October 6th, Verizon Wireless will be launching two new feature phones that will almost certainly go unnoticed. We have already seen renders of the Razzle and now we have the launch date and pricing. The Razzle will see an online launch on October 6th with other channels to follow once remaining Blitz inventory has been sold off. Pricing is decent, coming in at $69.99 with a 2-year agreement. Also launching on the 6th, the Nokia Shade is an entry level flip phone with a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, GPS, 1xRTT connectivity, 2.5mm headphone jack and changeable faceplates. The Shade will launch for $29.99 with a 2-year agreement. Hit the jump for a few more slides.







First! Razzle looks to be the dumbest phone in a long time. With a lousy name to boot.
FUGLY…Not a smart move Verizon.
I really don’t see the point of the Razzle at all… is controlling the media player really that difficult?

The Shade on the other hand looks to be a pretty sleek feature phone. I consider them concert and beach phones. Basically they’re for high risk situations where my Omnia probably wouldnt survive.
Why do all these VZW suck? No wifi? Garbage
It looks okay, but I am not willing to put my 2 years for it.
Tracphone will be jelous….droid rules!!!!!!
Hooray for the shade…the next line of phone for basic users. Nokia though, usually seems to fail at supplying basic phones.
Looks like a Motorola design… Boo
I really think the Razzle is unique an diffenet.. Its like a iPod and Blackberry together.. I actually own a Razzle fuck what the hatas think… They can’t afford the phone no way, who cares whats its called.. its a hot phone and thats it..
does this phone have video option? i havent seen anything about video but the people at verizon say yes… please advise… ive got a razzle on the way now…
It is a great MP3 Player that they have attached a cell phone to. I kinda really like it. Needs to come with a car charger and a patch cord to a 1/4″ jack. And I can’t find my pictures, yet.
I just got the new razzle and its a good phone.
The only thing I dont like is it should come with a set of headphones that fit in the mic jack…I hooked a headset to it and it cancels the music from the speakers and re-directs it to the headset…so it should have def come with headphones…
Great Phone, angled qwerty keyboard towards you.
I just got my Razzle about $ days ago, i really like it. its a great phone to have if you dont have an mp3 player or ipod. But i have an itouch, but the only problem ive been having latley are putting music on it. i just cant figure out how to do it. . .
how do you add your rhapsody music to the razzle??? can anyone help me???
It also doesn’t have EV-DO, which means it can’t download songs over-the-air from V Cast Music with Rhapsody. You can still use the desktop PC version and then use a USB cable to sync the songs, though. – got the info from – http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-10382375-85.html
