Earlier this morning the Samsung Intensity U450 was spotted on Verizon's website for $29.99 USD after a $50 rebate on a 2-year contract. The U450 has: a 2.1-inch display with a 176 x 220 resolution, a 1.3MP camera, a 2.5mm headphone jack, and a microSDHC card slot. Unfortunately, the listing on Verizon's website has now been pulled.

The T-Mobile Samsung T659 has been seen before, but this is now official. The T659 Scarlet has: a 2.2-inch QVGA display, a 2MP camera, Stereo Bluetooth, quad-band HSDPA connectivity, and a microSD card slot. This handset is going to launch on T-Mobile on September 9th, but the price hasn't been mentioned yet.

Both of these handsets will be available on September 8th on Verizon. The Samsung U450 will launch for $29.99 on a 2-year contract after a $50 rebate, $99.99 on a 1-year contract after a $50 rebate, $99.99 on a pre-paid plan after rebates, and $199.99 contract-free. The Samsung Rogue, on the other hand, will launch for $99.99 on a 2-year contract after a $100 rebate, $169.99 on a 1-year contract after a $100 rebate, and $419.99 contract-free.

Evidence from the Bluetooth SIG, has shown us that the Samsung U450 is also headed to Alltel, but we don't know the pricing and launch details yet.

We've seen the Samsung U450 in Verizon's future phone line-up, but we actually haven't seen a picture of the handset - until today. The Samsung U450 is above and it clearly has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Other specs include: a numeric keypad, a 1.3MP camera, and Bluetooth capabilities. The shot above was taken from a Verizon system.

The other phone that has just been snapped in Verizon's systems is actually the Samsung Rogue U960. This picture is actually different than what we have seen before, so this could be a new look. Let's just hope that it's still rocking the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Personally, I like the old look better. By the way, both of these handsets are said to be launching soon - maybe August 23rd.
