Verizon is certainly not too happy about the fact that the Pre and the iPhone 3GS are taking all the headlines these days. And I’m not sure if Big Red has anything hot enough to offer its customers. How many Verizon customers will switch to Sprint or AT&T?

Just in case you don’t want to switch carriers you should be aware of the fact that Verizon has a couple of new phones available for you, the Casio Exilim and the Motorola Rival A455.

The Casio Exilim is a phone made for the photographer in you. It comes with a 180-degree rotating display and a 5.1 megapixel although Verizon you should know there are some phones out there capable of taking 8 megapixel pictures which would suit better to passionate photographers. Although this Casio Exilim will come with camera-like features that other phones lack

Here are some of the most important features:

  • 5.1 megapixel auto focus camera with flash, lots of photo related features and video recording
  • 180–degree rotating display
  • optical 3x zoom
  • resistant to water, humidity, salt-fog, shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, altitude, temperature.
  • bluetooth
  • up to 8GB microSD memory
  • music and video playing capabilities
  • V CAST Music with Rhapsody (Subscription, Wireless and PC Downloads)
  • V CAST Videos
  • GPS
  • 2.3-inch 65K TFT Color

The phone is available right away online and you’ll have to pay for it $279.99 after a $50 instant rebate and with a two-year contract. Hmmm, so you’re telling me that for $199 I could get a new phone with some photo features, bigger screen and lots of apps?
