Mobile phone operator Verizon Wireless seems set to bring a lot of new and attractive handsets to its users in September, including the rumored HTC Touch Pro2. Among the other devices expected to find their way into the carrier's offering this month, we can count the Nokia 7705 Twist, as well as the Samsung Rogue and Intensity, along with a series of other phones that you might already know.

The HTC Touch Pro2 is one Windows Mobile-powered phone that should reach all four top carriers in the US. Available on T-Mobile already, the handset should be launched on Sprint's airwaves as soon as tomorrow, and is also expected to reach Verizon on September 11. On Big Red, the Touch Pro2 is reportedly sporting a price tag of $199.99, $150 lower than on Sprint. As for AT&T, the operator should release its version of the device sometime in October.

After HTC's handset, Verizon is also rumored to launch a Nokia Twist device on September 13. The phone makes an appearance on the aforementioned rebate sheet, although this won't guarantee its launch, and is expected to feature a price tag of $149.99 ($99.99 after $50 rebate) upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement with Big Red. However, we should mention that the 7705 Twist will be initially launched only online, with availability on other channels to follow shortly.

The specs list of the device shows a QWERTY keyboard, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 3-megapixel photo snapper with flash, Bluetooth, music player, HTML browser, microSD memory card slot with support for up to 16GB of additional storage space, support for VCast Videos/Music and VZ Navigator, and EVDO Rev 0 data connectivity. The handset will also be available with a 1-year contract for $169.99, while the full retail price has been set at $279.99.

Two more devices are to soon make it on Verizon's airwaves, the Samsung Rogue and Intensity. Both are expected to land tomorrow, September 8, while featuring price tags of $99.99 and $29.99, respectively. As stated above, the fact that they are present on the rebate sheet that emerged on BGR does not guarantee that all these handsets are to be launched in the time frame, yet we can still hope so.
