Verizon has released both the Samsung Rogue U960 and Intensity U450. First off, the Rogue is the much anticipated replacement of the Glyde that came out last year. Instead of using a capacitive touchscreen, it is resistive, which should alleviate the issues that the Glyde suffered from. The Rogue also has the first AMOLED display to be used on a Verizon phone, so we’re eager to try it out and see if it’s as good as the one found on the Omnia-II smartphone. Other features of the Rogue U960 include a 3MP autofocus camera with LED flash, updated user interface, 4 row sliding QWERTY keyboard, HTML browser, EVDO Rev A, microSDHC memory card slot (16GB), Vcast Music/Video and VZ Navigator support.

Pricing is $99.99 after a $100 rebate with a 2-year contract, $169.99 after rebate with a 1-year contract, and $419.99 full retail. Just remember that the Rogue is considered an Enhanced Multimedia Phone, so it requires an add-on data package (25MB for $9.99, 75MB for $19.99) on Basic and Select plans, or it can use unlimited data on Connect and Premium plans.
