How about an early Christmas present? We have a sneak peak of the fall lineup from Verizon, and it looks sweet!!! A couple surprises, some next gen and even a couple new players in the deck for us to pick from!

There have been rumors for a while about the new Bold and Torch from Blackberry, but a 4G???? Blackberry users will be very happy with this surprise entry, the new 4G Curve should be out in September!!

Other devices in the running are the Droid Bionic (also in September), the LG Revolution 2 and the 4G Samsung Stratosphere (Verizon’s version of the Galaxy S2). Also mentioned is the LG Cosmo Touch feature phone.

If you notice, there is no mention of the iPad3 or iPhone5 which may surprise some, but personally I’m not. Apple has always been very secretive and to see it on a list like this that early would make me suspect the validity of the entire list.

Now….I know I am biased by being an Android user, but seeing the new HTC Bliss on this really has me excited. It is still in the rumor stage itself, but looks like a very good step for HTC.

What do you guys think? Is this a good selection? Anything you think should be here that isn’t (you never know who is reading)? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!!

Companies are always trying to come up with new marketing strategies that will bring in the big bucks. They say that the key to selling any product is all in how you market it.

HTC tried a marketing strategy a while back of marketing a series of phones just to women. They started with the HTC Bliss –  which for those of you that don’t remember the Bliss, it  came with all kinds of “feminine apps” such as the calorie counter, shopping companion apps, etc. You know all those things that woman “need”. (On a personal note I find it some what offensive for HTC to presume that I want or need a price comparison app or a calorie counter) The Bliss also had that “adorable” charm that lit up when you had missed call. This was intended to help woman whom tended to lose their phone in their purse. Which, if your purse is anything like mine, it kind of resembles  the bag Marry Poppins has and your phone always works its way to the bottom of your bag and is impossible to find when someone is calling you.

HTC’s new phone for women is rumored to be called the HTC Glamor. The images that are surfacing around the Glimmer look very similar to the standard HTC phones. The main difference that I am seeing is the bright colors that wrap around the phone. It is said the phone will come in bright: pink, blue, yellow, and possibly green.  It doesn’t have the charm or come pre-loaded with “girlie apps” but it should be glamorous all the same.
