On October 1 to phone will be available in more than 1,900 Verizon Wireless Communications stores across the US and at Circuit City locations for $299.99 after $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year customer agreement.
Looking at the specifications and the price I think this will be a serious competitor to Motorola's iTunes enabled ROKR E1 phone.
