As expected, Motorola’s VU204 and VU30 flips have teamed up with Samsung’s Sway slider for announcement on Verizon today, bringing an engaging attention range of new hardware from the low to the upper midrange. Unfortunately, this is a case where “engaging attention” isn’t necessarily a good thing; for example, we find it “engaging attention” that the Sway (pictured right) runs a cool 70 bucks on contract after rebate yet doesn’t feature EV-DO, a feature we’d assume was at this time standard in a handset of this price. At any rate, it’s got a 2-megapixel cam and a media player with microSD expansion, so we’ll cut it some slack. On the Moto side, the VU204’s an ultra-basic piece that “meets everyday, on-the-go needs” (that’s code for “ultra-basic,” by the way) with a VGA cam and Bluetooth; it runs just $29.99 on activation. The Rapture VU30 (pictured left) does a 2-megapixel camera, touch-sensitive external display, and EV-DO, running a stiffer $129.99 on contract. The Sway and VU30 are available at this time, while the VU204 follows on come October 14.
