It seems that the phone we saw pictured yesterday entitled the Motorola Barrage has been made official today for Verizon by way of a leaked spec sheet, pictured above.

As you can see, this sheet gives not only the handset’s specs (which we already knew about) but also the pricing and release date for the phone. According to said sheet, the Motorola Barrage will be made available in Verizon retail stores on November 16th, 2009 for $179.99 on a 2-year contract.

You amy be asking yourself how could anyone charge such a price for a flip phone and the answer is becasue of the materials that were used to make its ultra “rugged durable design”.
