By We know Verizon has a pretty nice holiday lined up in terms of device launches (and we’re not just counting Android here), but a newly-leaked roadmap finally confirms launch windows for several of Verizon’s global Android handsets. The HTC Merge – which Verizon has yet to officially announce but we most certainly know to be making its rounds – sits among the Motorola Droid Pro (confirmed), the Motorola Droid 2 Global (Unconfirmed), and the LG enV Pro (a light rumor up until now.)
So the enV line has converted to Android – as we learned before – and everything else is business as usual. We haven’t heard much about the enV Pro, but there’s a possibility that this could be the same phone by LG that Engadget uncovered a while back – that phone was dubbed the LG enV Touch 2. It was said to have a QWERTY keyboard in a clamshell form factor dual screens, Android 2.1 (upgraded to 2.2 in the future), and radios for world roaming. Other rumors have pegged the Pro without the QWERTY keyboard and have said it would launch with Android 2.2, but I don’t think it’s worth crossing this many streams of proton at this point. Let’s just wait until we can pull up something more solid.

Verizon us the best I think I’m going to get the merge
Get the glacier
So I guess this is confirmation that there will be no lte phones this year. That kind of blows. Hopefully Q1 2011 will bring some better choices to big red.
@Nyryn i think 6 coming january idk
i might get either the lexicon or the env pro. it really matters if the merge will have the new sense or not
and if one of the 4g phones will be htc with nre sense then ill get that. i love verizon :D
@QK when r u gonna put up droid 2 global and env pro on the phones list?
I love the build of the Merge. I guess it’s going to be called the Merge after all, maybe because of the dual band?
Which phone is the GLACIER?
Bummer. Guess I’ll have to wait till Q1’11 to upgrade.
olypdd, there’s very little information regarding the glacier, but most people think it’s a “superphone” coming to tmobile, and has tons of awesome features, including, but not limited to, a dual-core 1.5 ghz processor, or something like that anyway.
I’m not interested in buying it, but I’m really curious about how an enV phone is going to look running android.
That’s right, I did hear about that. I heard it’s been showing up on twitter feeds so the thought is that testers are putting it through the paces right now. I wonder if it has a real keyboard as I would prefer one.
Merge = HTC Incredible with a physical keyboard?
No Droid T2 by christmas then ??
That droid T2 by christmas thing sounded waaay too good to be true anyway :(
Christmas at Verizon will be a sad time for me. I’ll weep everytime I pass a store, I’ll be reminded that they kept their “must have” phones for q1 2011. :.(
