Verizon Razzle Release Date & Price Confirmed [Razzle (Verizon Branded PCD TXT8030) Teen Texting Phone Available Next Week]

Tweet

Continuing with what’s now undoubtedly Verizon’s day here at TFTS, Verizon have now officially confirmed that their take on the PCD TXT8030, which is known as the Verizon Razzle and which very much falls into the budget QWERTY phone category, is set to become available from next week.

Aimed specifically at those on a budget looking for a QWERTY handset, the Verizon Razzle seems to be intended to cater for the ‘texting teen’ market as, in terms of specifications, there’s really not that much to get overly excited about.

Offering a rather hum-drum 2.2” display, the Verizon Razzle’s most notable feature is its swivelling lower section which allows users to twist the QWERTY keyboard around in preference of speakers and music controls (see below) which really places the Razzle in terms of its intended market, and, lets be honest here, whilst the idea, on paper at least, sounds good in principle few of us will actually be driven to take up the Razzle on that basis alone (and it really doesn’t have that much to offer). Of course, if owning a phone that has the same name as a porn mag floats your boat, well, you’re sorted but, again, that’s hardly a decisive draw, is it?

In terms of other features on and above the few detailed above, you’re looking at a 1.3 megapixel camera (which, in anyone’s book, is just lame) as well as microSD card support allowing you to bolt on additional additional capacity to store those kicking tunes.

Yes, you’re right. We’re just not interested. Are You?

In case you are, the Verizon Razzle is set to become available via Verizon from October 8^th and will set you back some $70 on contract. Lost that interest now? Yup, though so.
