Verizon Offering Several Windows Phones with Deep Discounts

Verizon Wireless is offering several Windows Mobile devices at very low prices. Some of these are inexpensive because they have been discontinued, but the Samsung Omnia has only been available from this carrier for a few months, and it now costs less than $100.

Discontinued Models
This carrier has the Verizon XV6900 for $70, with the warning that this offer is only good while supplies last. This is a version of the HTC Touch that debuted early last year, and is a touchscreen-oriented Windows Mobile 6.1 device with EV-DO.

The Verizon SMT5800 has also been discontinued, and is currently selling for $100. This is a Windows Mobile Standard smartphone with a QVGA display and a numberpad on its front, in addition to a slide-out, landscape-oriented, QWERTY keyboard.

In addition, Verizon is currently offering the Samsung SCH-i760 for $150 while supplies last. This Windows phone has a QVGA Touchscreen and both a built-in keyboard and a numberpad. It includes Wi-Fi and the mobile-broadband standard EV-DO.

Samsung Omnia
Verizon released the Samsung Omnia last fall at $250 with contract, but this phone is now going for $100 with contract.

This device has a design that focuses on its 3.2-inch, 240-by-400 pixel touchscreen. It runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, but Samsung has added its TouchWiz user interface, which has been designed to make it easier to control the the phone with a fingertip.

This version of the Omnia supports Verizon's EV-DO network.  It also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Other features include a 5-megapixel camera, microSD card slot, and a GPS receiver.
