Labels: , ,


Motorola has just unveiled another low-end, but rugged handset that's headed to Verizon. The Motorola Barrage V860 has a 2MP camera, GPS support, a 2.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot. Another model of this handset will be available, but it won't have the camera. The release details haven't been mentioned yet, so we'll just have to wait patiently.

This handset will be launching on November 16th for $179.99 on a 2-year contract with a $50 MIR, $249.99 on a 2-year contract with a $50 MIR, and $299.99 contract-free.

We don't know exactly when they will launch, but since the Prism has WiMAX I'd say it's the higher-end of the two.
