Verizon's new rebate form shows two Droid 2 Globals, Samsung Continuum, and more

Carrier rebate forms have a fun tendency to reveal unannounced hardware, since they cover several upcoming weeks when they're published -- and Verizon's latest for the month of November is a particularly juicy one. Here's what we've got:
  • There are two SKUs listed for the Droid 2 Global, but only one for the Droid Pro, leading us to wonder whether it'll actually be the Global that's getting a cameraless version.
  • Speaking of Motorola, the WX445 Citrus is in the mix for the first time.
  • The Pre 2 is in the system with a $100 rebate.
  • There are two new SKUs for the Bold 9650, possibly indicating the release of new versions with BlackBerry 6 pre-installed.
  • The LG Cosmos Touch is in here, which we imagine will be a touchscreen successor to the Cosmos.
  • There's a Samsung Zeal listed with a $50 rebate, but we're not sure what it is -- we know that Sammy has a number of Android phones in the pipe for Verizon, and we suppose this could be one of 'em (likely low-end considering it's not a $100 rebate).
  • More interestingly, the Samsung Continuum is in here, suggesting that the November 8 event could be for this dual-screened (and Galaxy S-branded) beast. $100 rebate here.
Of course, November is a time when retailers of all types and sizes bring out new products in time for the holidays, so we're not surprised to see the mother lode here. Who's excited?

A Typo That Can?t Be Corrected


People get tattoos commemorating the things they love most: mothers, lovers, pets, flaming skulls, etcetera. But in our spell-check era, it’s good to see someone who appreciates that squiggly red line enough to keep it around permanently. [Neatorama]
