According to the latest rumour, this is the list of Verizon's upcoming phones for the year. Take a look at the list below, courtesy of Boy Genius.

• LG Chocolate Touch VX8575 - Full touchscreen, might be like the BL40
• BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 - October-November release
• Nokia Shade 2705 - Replaces the Mirage 2605
• Nokia Twist 7705 - This might be the swivel-style phone that has been rumored for months.
• Palm Treo 800W - “Even though this was released for Sprint last year, Verizon may not have it out until February 2010.”
• Motorola Entice (or Harmony) W766 - Replaces the W755
• Samsung Rogue U960 - Replaces the Glyde U940, expected in August
• Samsung U450 - Verizon Mobile TV-compatible
• Samsung Strut U440 - QWERTY handset
• Samsung Omnia-II i920 - Due out by Christmas

• Motorola V860
• Samsung Convoy U640
• Casio Rock C731
• Casio Brigade C741

The most interesting handsets on this list is: the LG Chocolate Touch that could actually be the LG BL40, the BlackBerry Storm 2 of course, the Rogue U960 aka SCH-U960 aka Glyde 2, and the Omnia II possibly the I8000 - like earlier rumours (not going to be available this month though). Keep in mind this list is just a rumour, but you can count on the Storm 2 launching this year. It looks like a pretty good list from Verizon Wireless.

Cell Passion really has the knack of getting the scoop on trademarks and such and today is no exception. They have just spotted a trademark that was actually filed way back in September of last year. It's a trademark filed by Microsoft for the name "Swivel." Unfortunately, this actually might not be that important. It could simply be a codename for either WinMo 6.5 or WinMo 7, so if you're interested, Microsoft might utilize this word somewhere in one of their future mobile OS.
