It also features Blackberry's push access technology, plus personal Web or POP/IMAP accounts.
It will be available online starting with September 17 from Verizon Wireless, at a price of 349.99 $ with a 2 year service agreement, and through Verizon's sales channels beginning with Monday, September 18, at the same price.
