The Samsung Sway is almost here. Verizon Wireless, the official carrier of the said phone will release it this Tuesday, Oct. 14th. The Samsung Sway is a new slim slider with a silver finish that has an MP3 player to access more than 5 million songs using VCAST Music with Rhapsody.

The phone features an integrated 2.0-megapixel camera has digital zoom and comes with NightShot to enhance photos in dark environments. It features Bluetooth wireless technology with profile support for headsets, hands free car kits, serial ports, vCards, and stereo music. The Sway has expandable memory up to 8GB with external microSD card slot. Applications include mobile IM capabilities, personal organizer with calculator, calendar, alarm clock, world clock, stop watch and notepad.

Word has been made official that a brand new slider from Samsung, entitled the Sway SCH-u650, will make its way to Verizon.

The Samsung SCH-u650 Sway will be a typical run-of-the-mill slider, clocking in at 0.47-inches thick and sporting a 2.2-inch display. Also featured on the phone is a 2MP camera along with a bunch of preinstalled software like IM, a personal organizer, and a web browser. The phone’s battery at full juice is expected to pump out 270 minutes of standard talk-time, or 312 hours of standby.

Samsung’s new slider u650 will be available on Verizon come October 14th for $69.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, with a 2 year contract of course.

Verizon has picked up another low-to-mid-range slider from Samsung called the Sway or the U650. With support for CDMA, the Sway will not sway any other cell phone off its feet anytime soon, but if you are looking for something not so flashy on Verizon, this could fit your bill. High points are its slider design, 240×320-pixel QVGA display, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Mobile Web 2.0, music/video player, and microSDHC support up to 8GB. Samsung seems to have given EV-DO a miss on this silvery low-ender, which could have gained it a few more points over other devices in the same range. Available starting October 6 on Verizon for $119.99 for a two-year agreement or $239.99 without the frills.
