If you’re a Verizon customer, global roaming’s up your alley, and the Storm and Saga are Bot. just a little more smartphone than you need, there’s another option dropping shortly: the Samsung Renown. There’s really not a hell of a lot to the unassuming flip beyond an integrated quadband GSM radio, but hey — for some frequent travelers (drug runners come immediately to mind), maybe that’s all the doctor ordered. The bronze flip musters VZW Navigator support, a QVGA primary display, micro SD expansion to 8GB, and a 2-megapixel camera, and while the $179.99 on-contract price after rebate might sound a smidge steep for such specs, let’s not lose sight of that all-powerful globetrotting capability. It’ll hit November 19 over the phone and December 1 in-store; in the meantime, follow the break for some views of the thing.
