We’re coming right up on a year since we first heard of the 2605’s existence, and with a VGA camera just about the most engaging attention feature we can find on the spec sheet, we’re having a hard time saying with a straight face that it was worth the wait. Be that as it may, the unassuming flip is still on a very, very short list of CDMA Nokias sold in the US, which in itself makes it sorta engaging attention — and your hard-earned .99 on contract after rebate is plan to nab you Bluetooth, a color external display, VZ Navigator support, and Xpress-on changeable covers (when’s the last time you owned an Xpress-on Nokia, eh?). It’ll be available for order from Verizon’s site, telesales, and stores starting Friday, with all sales channels opening the floodgates come January 23 of next year.

If it’s a 5-megapixel cameraphone you’re looking for, there are definitely inexpensive entries on the market — but if only a 5-megapixel WinMo Professional set will do, the Omnia’s just about the best (read: only) deal you’ll find on an American carrier these days. The CDMA translation of the smartphone that Samsung’s been selling in other parts of the world for much of 2008 in GSM form carries over most of its key features, namely Windows Mobile 6.1 with TouchWiz, WiFi, DivX certification, the love-it-or-hate-it optical directional pad, and that beefy cam with flash and autofocus. It also nabs VZ Navigator support, stereo Bluetooth, a 3.2-inch 400 x 240 display, and 8GB of internal memory. Gives pause to that imminent Touch Pro purchase, doesn’t it? Look for it to be available for order this week — a full retail launch is expected come December 8 — for $249.99 after rebate on a two-year contract.
