Wireless carrier Verizon has been long rumored to plan the launch of a Palm mobile phone on its airwaves, and it seems that the wait might finally come to an end. According to the latest news around the Internet, the operator already has in its internal system a Palm Pre Plus device, although no details on the device seem to be listed there for the time being.

As phoneArena states, the new detail on the Pre Plus being listed in Verizon's internal system follows shortly after reports on Big Red's employees being educated on the webOS platform from Palm via an internal video with the OS, it seems. As many of you might have already remembered, the operator stated a few months ago that it would deliver to its users a Palm handset in early 2010 and, since the year is almost here, it seems that the company is getting ready to keep its promise.

At the same time, the mobile phone operator is also said to plan adding a Motorola Devour to its offering in the near future. The handset sports the A555 model number in its name, which reminds us of none other than the long rumored Motorola Calgary. According to the news, the Devour is expected to come to the market as DROID's little brother, through still featuring some appealing specs.

What is known so far on the Motorola Devour includes the fact that it might sport a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, that it should run under Android, with MotoBlur all over it, and that it might feature Google's Android 2.1 operating system when available. For what it's worth, given the long list of rumors that emerged recently on Android 2.1, we will take this with a grain of salt for the time being, though we hope it will pan out.

The last of the new mobile phone Big Red is expected to show to the world in the near future is said to be the LG VS750, a device running under Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. The handset would thus become the first LG smartphone that gets launched on Verizon's airwaves, and it is expected to come with global roaming support (CDMA/GSM), though it hasn't been yet spotted at FCC.

The Motorola Devour will be very impressive, as have all the Motorola Android phones so far.

I can't believe that LG is persisting with the old fashioned Windows Mobile 6.5, which Motorola and others gave up on long ago. Crazy that in this day and age, LG is forcing people to use a stylus pen to interface with their telephones.

There should be an army of Android phones coming out in January, such as the Sony Ericsson X10. Very exciting.
