Way back in February we first about a company, Lumigon, and they would be ramping up a few Android-based smartphones for the market. Well, they've gone through some changes since the last time we saw them. They still a bit elegant but this new model has a lot of wasted screen estate. The render (above) was posted on their Facebook page and shows off a d-pad, four hard buttons, a logo, a possible front-facing camera, and a microSD card slot. Like I said, the screen could be better but the OS should be Google's Android 2.2 "Froyo" so it's not all bad.

Thanks to Wirefly's catalog, they've leaked out the first ZTE phone that will find its way to Verizon Wireless. This is the carrier's first handset from ZTE and it's a pretty basic slider. Dubbed the Verizon Wireless Salute, the handset packs a 1.3MP camera, a QVGA display, and Bluetooth support. The handset is actually available on their website right now for free on a 2-year contract. Phone Arena points out that the handset should be hitting the carrier's shops in a few weeks.
