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.

Well, looky here, it's a new leak from Verizon and this one is huge. This screenshot above, tells us that the Samsung Rogue could be available sometime this month for $370 USD subsidized - Engadget says that it might not happen. The Nokia Twist 7705 - which could be the swiveling handset from a while ago - is expected to hit Verizon in late September for $230 and the Samsung Intensity should be available for $160 next month as well. The LG Chocolate Touch, BlackBerry Storm 2, HTC Razzle / Blitz 2, and the Android-based Motorola Sholes should be available in October. In late November we should be expecting the BlackBerry Curve 2, which could be the Curve 8530 - basically a CDMA version of the Curve 8520.

These dates may not be entirely accurate, but at least you have a slight clue as to when they'll be available.
