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 $49.99 on contract after $50 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 Thursday, with all sales channels opening the floodgates come January 23 of next year.

It’s no world-beater or anything, but the dual-display LG VX5500 is finally on sale at Verizon Wireless. Just as a refresher, this one’s bringing Bluetooth, a VGA camera, speakerphone, VZ Navigator support, voice activated dialing and Mobile Web 2.0. If you’re cool with being just a few miles behind the curve, you can dig in at this time for $49.99 on a 2-year contract, $119.99 on a 1-year deal or $219.99 outright.

Alright, so maybe this non-3G crapshell isn’t the phone that the world has been waiting for; maybe not by a long shot. Be that as it may, the VX5400-replacing VX5500 isn’t looking half bad, featuring (if you can call these “features”) a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and count ‘em — not one, but two displays. Looks like it’s still tracking for a lat. October release, so get your wallets out, but don’t plan on pulling out more than a few crisp bills because it’ll run a mere $49.99 on a two-year setup.
