Busy days of Summer here at PhoneDog West.  I've got my paws all over a bunch of hot new phones, and they're not all called Vu, EnV2, or Instinct.

Verizon Wireless just sent over the LG Decoy, a new slider phone with an included Bluetooth earpiece that snaps in and out of the back of the handset.  Sprint also sent the Sanyo Pro 200 and 700, two of their first wave of Push To Talk "QChat" devices.  And i-Mate sent the Ultimate 8150, a top-shelf Windows Mobile smarpthone.  So far I've only managed to get the Decoy out of the box, and I think it's a clever idea though I'm a bit worried about the phone's overall thickness and the flush-mount joystick on the front.

I'll be busy for awhile, that's for sure ... And that's not even considering the Nokia XpressMusic 5310 that's waiting for me at the FedEx facility.  Seems I missed it when I had to go out of town last week ... I'll have to pick that one up and unbox it on YouTube later on today.  Stay tuned for all the details on these phones and more, right here on PhoneDog.
