Verizon seems to be readying its second Android smartphone, Motorola Calgary, a handset we’ve found out about from last year. It’ll follow Motorola Droid, as the Big Red’s second Google OS phone and, just like Moto CLIQ, it’ll use the MOTOBLUR interface.

Calgary should pack a full QWERTY keyboard, 3 touch sensitive keys, a digital magnetometer, GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, 3 megapixel camera, microSD card slot and support for Wi-Fi connectivity. Word has it that Motorola Calgary will be launched by Verizon this quarter, probably under a different name.

Price and official list of specs have yet to be confirmed or announced.

T-Mobile and AT&T finally have something in common and it’s not their newfound Android love, but rather a new BlackBerry device, the Bold 2 aka Onyx. The handset will be unveiled by both mobile operators on October 21 and you should keep in mind that this only means they’ll make it official, not sell it.

AT&T has already done something like this before, with the HTC Pure/Tilt2 announcement, turning into a launch very soon. BlackBerry Onyx/ Bold 2 is also known as the 9700 and it comes with a Li-ion 1550 mAh battery, a microSD card slot, a 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording and autofocus, 256MB ROM and a color TFT display with a 480 x 360 pixels resolution.

Tri-band global 3G connectivity is also on the specs list, plus BlackBerry OS 5.0, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a full QWERTY keyboard.

AT&T’s in full bloom these days, announcing many handsets, specially those that run Windows Mobile 6.5, like HTC Pure. Yesterday it was all about Samsung and Pantech, since the US carrier announced 2 models from each maker, Samsung Flight and Mythic on one side and Pantech Reveal and Impact on the other.

Samsung Mythic is a 3.3 inch touchscreen phone, with the TouchWiz UI on board and a design that looks just like the one of Eternity and Solstice handsets. This smartphone also features Mobile TV and it’s scheduled for a November launch date, with a price of $199.99, on contract.

Samsung Flight is all about messaging, specially since it packs a sliding QWERTY keyboard, plus a touchscreen display. Expect it to reach the local shops in November as well, with a $99.99 price tag and a contract plus rebates. We move on to Pantech and discover the Impact model, with its OLED touchscreen display, side flip design and full QWERTY keyboard.

Pantech Impact supports 3G connectivity and haptic feedback, plus comes with a secondary screen and a music player. Its price and launch date are a mystery for now and finally, we’ve found out that AT&T is also readying Pantech Reveal for launch. This slider sports both a numeric keypad and a QWERTY keyboard and it should be available starting October 18th, for an unknown price.

T-Mobile has just announced that it’ll cut the price of myTouch 3G to $149.99, down from $199.99. This pricing will appeal to new subscribers and upgraders, plus there’s the advantage of no mail-in rebate being required for this offer.

Expect myTouch 3G to reach the $99 landmark in the holiday season, with $149.99 being the Fall offer, for now. Just look at the iPhone 3G and its $99 price tag, that’s helping it sell like hotcakes, even if the 3GS is also performing well and Palm Pre’s no quitter either.

What’s the handset all about? Well, myTouch 3G comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera with video capture, games, video playback, WiFi, GPS, a touchscreen display, email and picture messaging.

ITG just made an unique move by launching the first Windows XP handset and you can pre-order it now on the ITG’s English website. Far from being a  small girlish discrete cellphone, this handset has a shinny aluminium case that hides some spectacular features.

We are talking about an AMD processor, a 512MB/1GB memory and dual hard drives (SSD and HDD). The phone also features a 4.8 inch touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth and GPS plus WiMax (optional).

There is no sense in mentioning that the device supports almost all the 3G networks being compatible will nearly all European and American mobile carriers like Orange, Vodafone and AT&T. The price and the launch date are still a mystery.
