This simple yet sexy phone is the newest release from Alcatel. The Alcatel One Touch E260 is a slider phone that has the most basic of features, but a rather stylish design. The phone does not have a camera or a music player, but it does offer up a decent color display (102x80 pixels) and has talk time of 600 minutes. Expect to see this phone later on this year.

Earlier today, the Treo 700p was announced on Verizon's network and now we've learned that Verizon will be offering the Motorola Q for sale online on May 31. You can purchase the "world's slimmest smartphone" for $199 (that's after a $100 rebate). The Q is only .45 inches thin, has a full QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 megapixel camera, and will run on Verizon's high-speed wireless broadband network. It will run on the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform.
I would love to see what average consumers think of these once they're out in the wild. I need something with a full sized keyboard to replace my Treo 650.

Who knew that the FCC would be such a great source of up and coming devices? The newest phone to get approval from the FCC is the Motorola V270. The V270 features Push-to-Talk, GPRS connectivity, and Bluetooth. This GSM phone also has a mini USB port so you can sync data with your PC. Another nice feature of the phone is its ability to sync your phonebook and calendar via a remote server over the Internet. Hopefully, we'll hear more about this phone in the near future.

Siemens' SLV 140 looks quite remarkably like Motorola's Razr. I guess the company should feel complimented that so many others have copied their design. The SLV 140 features a 240x320 LCD display, Bluetooth, MicroSD slot, 120x160 external display, tri-band GSM with UMTS support, 2.0 megapixel camera, and ability to play mp3s.

The first phone to support Cingular's new push-to-talk service is the LG F7200. This slider-styled phone features a speakerphone, IM client, and not much else. Its claim to fame will be it ability to use Cingular's push-to-talk service that will cost interested Cingular customer's $9.99 a month for unlimited use. The differences between Cingular's PTT and those offered by Verizon and Sprint Nextel, is that Cingular customers will be able to transfer a PTT conversation to a regular call. There's also a feature that will allow you to verify whether someone is available before starting one of those annoying conversations.
Right now, the LG F7200 is the only phone available that works with the new service. The next phone to be compatible will be the Samsung D357.
