Verizon is also in on the touch-screen craze with its Verizon Wireless XV6900, a touch-screen device that Verizon said is optimized for easy navigation with the swipe of a finger.
The pure white device offers Web access through Internet Explorer Mobile and enables the sending and receiving of emails and chat on several services. Users can also view and edit Microsoft Word and Excel files and view Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Reader PDFs while also being able to extract and create new zip files and attachments.
The XV6900 also features a built-in speakerphone, Bluetooth support, a microSD slot, a 2.0 megapixel camera with video capture and support for Office Outlook Mobile and Microsoft Exchange with Direct Push.
The XV6900 has a 2.8-inch touch screen with LED backlight and measures 3.98 inches by 2.35 inches by 0.56 inches. The XV6900 will run about $350 with a two-year service contract and a $50 mail-in rebate.
