Here’s some more Verizon news for you.  They’ll start selling the Samsung Trance U490 on April 24th, or so the rumorville has it.  It’s not exactly a high end phone, but the Bang & Olufsen ICEpower should be a welcome technology for any music snob since it’s said to reproduce music in astonishing quality.  Specs you ask?  2.1-inch 176×200 display, 1.3 megapixel camera, CDMA 1X 800/1900mHz, 1GB of internal memory with microSD card slot for expansion, 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth with A2DP, media player (duh) and the usual cell phone specage.

Expect the Samsung Trance U490 to retail for $50 after a $50 mail-in-rebate + 2-year contract signing or $120 after a $50 mail-in-rebate and 1-year contract signing.
