As expected, Verizon in the US is now offering the Samsung Intensity 2 and it's available for $49.99 on a 2-year contract after rebates. The handset packs a 2.2-inch display along with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard so it should be fine for you if you love texting. You can check it out on Verizon's website when you're ready.

A bunch of new handsets are going to be hitting Verizon in the near future and here are 5 of them. Of course, we've already heard about the Samsung Intensity II and it'll be available in Metallic Blue and Deep Gray (both above). The one directly below is the Samsung Haven U320 (which Unwired View points out you can now order on Verizon's website) which will cost you $40 on a 2-year contract and will be shipping on July 29th. The Haven is a basic flip phone. Beside that there's the LG Clout VX8370 which packs a 2-inch internal QVGA display, a 1.7-inch external display, a 1.3MP (or 2MP) camera, and a microSDHC card slot. The last handset is below them all and it's the ZTE F350, which will be the Verizon Salute. The Salute sports a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 1.3MP camera, a microSD card slot, and Bluetooth support.

Verizon got the Samsung Intensity in September of last year and looks like they're going to be getting the successor of that model extremely soon too. The picture above is showing the Samsung Intensity II on Verizon in a Best Buy store in the US. The Intensity II will feature a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, and Bluetooth support. As you can see it'll be available for $1.00 on a 2-year contract, so it's not a bad deal if you're looking for a QWERTY phone without the need to pay for a data plan. It'll also be available for $249.99 contract-free if that's what you want.
