Verizon is set to launch its new ‘Razzle’ on October 6. Though it is pretty much a low end unit, the Razzle appeals because of its QWERTY keypad that can twist out to unveil a nice speaker system.

The phone comes with GPS and a 1.3MP camera. This will be available on plan at USD $69.00.

Available in black or pink (weird, because the phone is two tone black and pink!) the LG Venus is all elegance. The phone comes with dual screens, a 2MP camera for photos and video, microSD expansion and Bluetooth. If you’re looking for something rather different from the usual Sony Ericssons and Nokias, the LG Venus is a great dazzling option.
