Verizon Brings Red, Purple and Pink Phones

Verizon Wireless, the second largest mobile carrier in the US, announced the availability of three of its popular handsets in new colors, probably to start the year with a fresh look but
also for the approaching Valentine's Day, when pretty-colored devices sell like they're offered for free.

The first phone to get a new look is Samsung FlipShot (or SCH-U900), the clamshell that comes with a rotating display, very useful when taking pictures. Its new color is a vivid red one and hides the same nice specs of the original version: 3 Megapixel camera with multi-shots and video recording, GPS (VZ Navigator), EV-DO, Media player, V CAST Music and Video, Mobile Web 2.0, e-mail, Mobile IM and Bluetooth with A2DP. Of course, besides the red version, there's also the classic black Samsung FlipShot, for those who like darker colors. Both versions are available for $149.99.
