With all of the times that the HTC Merge (and its accessories) has leaked, you'd think that the device was available in stores nationwide. Unfortunately, that's not the case, although it wouldn't be surprising if it had launched recently, given the non-existant announcement of the DROID 2 Global. Anyway, the Merge has been spotted once again, this time in a two-page ad in Entrepreneur Magazine. Touted as a "work phone that's updated for your life," there are a handful of photos of the device as well as a paragraph describing the various features that are on board. You can find a close-up of the ad down below.
Considering that Verizon didn't launch the Merge in time for Black Friday, you'd think that they'd want to get the QWERTY-fied Android device on the shelves soon to cash in on Christmas sales. We still haven't seen any dummy units or anything else to indicate that that will happen soon, though, so I'm not sure what Verizon is up to. Perhaps they're saving the Merge for a big post-holiday push? It's tough to say at this point, but the longer than Big Red waits, the more likely it is that people will either settle for another keyboarded device like the DROID 2 or opt for an LTE-capable handset.
