Verizon has apparently decided to drop most smartphone prices down to only $99 when customers choose a new two-year agreement thus matching that AT&T $99 iPhone pricing. That means phones like the HTC Touch Pro, the BlackBerry Storm and many others will now be available for $99 with new contracts. The BlackBerry Tour and the Samsung Saga will still cost more than $99 and the upcoming Touch Pro2 and Storm 2 are definitely going to be a little more expensive too when Verizon will officially launch them. What $99 smartphone are you going to choose?

After releasing a much needed firmware update to unlock GPS on the HTC Touch Pro, Verizon has decided that a new phone is worthy for such a similar honor. The carrier has launched an updated ROM for the Samsung Saga and now the GPS has been unlocked for the Saga too. So if you own a Samsung Saga and you’re always interested in GPS features and applications than you can go to Verizon Wireless and get yourself that new piece of software. In the mean time all those Samsung Omnia owners are still waiting for a similar update. Verizon, we’re watching you!

AT&T plans to get rid of quite a few phones these days. The HTC Fuze is just another example. Refurbished models will get an impressive $499 discount which means they will cost exactly $0. You will still have to agree to a 2-year contract and a new activation but the phone will not cost you anything. Is it worth it? Verizon and Sprint are currently charging $349 and $299 respectively for an HTC Touch Pro, so the Fuze, even if refurbished, sounds like a good idea.

We all know that the Touch Pro2 is lurking right around the corner going by the little birdies that speak up from time to time, but for those who don’t know what the Touch madness is all about, the Touch Pro might be a good place to start.   US Cellular has now added the original HTC Touch Pro on to its lineup and anybody with $249 to spare on a two-year agreement after a $70 rebate will get to enjoy its expansive touchscreen display, HSDPA speeds, WiFi, GPS, and a passable 3.2 megapixel camera, not to mention its slide-out QWERTY keypad, which is what makes it different from the HTC Touch Diamond.

We have been waiting for quite a while now for the Fennec and a primitive beta is up for grabs. For those of you that don’t know it, it’s the Mozilla mobile Firefox browser.

And the beta version is primitive because it’s still an early version of the mobile browser. One that is available for now only for HTC Touch Pro owners. This version will have no support for soft keyboards, automatic version updating or plugins. Other than that, Touch Pro owners should experience the Internet the Mozilla way on their phones now. Would you take Fennec for a spin?

The Storm isn’t the only hot phone available from Verizon Wireless these days. Come to think of it you’re more likely to find an HTC Touch Pro than a Storm these days.

The Touch Pro is available on Verizon’s website and that’s where you can order one. It’s a little more expensive than Sprint’s or AT&T’s:

• $349 after a $70 MIR and 2-year contract
• $419 after $70 MIR and a 1-year contract
• $539 with no contract

Luckily customers eligible for an NE2 upgrade can get an additional $50 to $100 off those prices. So what do you think? What shall it be? A Storm or an HTC?

While we previously weren’t sure which carrier would pick up HTC’s QWERTY-touting Touch Pro, it is now known that Sprint will pick up the stylish handset come October 19th.

Expect to pay $299.99 for this device, with a 2-year contract of course, along with whatever monthly plan you decide on.

The HTC Touch Pro will launch with Windows Mobile 6.1, a 2.8″ touch-sensitive display, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 3.2mp camera, complete with autofocus and an LED flash. In terms of storage, the Touch Pro will allow users to pick their own limit, utilizing the included MicroSD slot.
