Everyone's rollin' out the holiday gifts, and Verizon isn't missing out on the fun. A couple of you in the phonedogTV chatroom asked if Verizon would have any new phones before Christmas. Here you go.

The Saga is a smartphone with a touch screen and full hardware QWERTY, and the Renown is a media messaging flip with V CAST and global mode. The Saga is available today for business customers, online, and by phone @ 1-800-2-JOIN-IN (800-256-4646). The Renown will be available through the same channels on November 19th. Both will be in Verizon stores on the 1st of December.

The touch screen of the SCH-i770, or Saga, is a 2.55" 65k TFT LCD at 320 X320 pixels, and it sits above a full QWERTY. The phone features Quad Band GSM/GPRS, Wi-Fi, stereo bluetooth, 2 MP cam, and up to 16 GB of microSD storage. It's preloaded with Windows mobile 6.1 Professional, including the Microsoft Office Mobile Suite, Active Sync, and the Mobile Device Center for Vista.

The SCH-u810, or Renown, can send video, picture, text, and IM messages. It has a 2 MP cam with NightShot and video capture. And it works with V Cast, so you can watch videos and grab songs over the air, which are also available for download to your computer without any DRM. The Renown has stereo bluetooth, and accepts up to 8 Gigs on microSD.
