Motorola W385, black U740 in the pipe for Verizon

by Chris Ziegler, posted Apr 3rd 2007 at 10:51AM

Not feeling the Samsung U740's champagne hue? Good news: Verizon's latest rebate form reveals that a black version is in the works, arguably more appropriate for the phone's largely business-oriented demographic. Other goodies on the form are few and far between, though our tipster does point out that the Motorola W385 makes an appearance, offering KRZR-like styling in a lower-end package. No word on release for either, though the rebates expire on May 13 -- take that for what you will.

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]

Oh boy your tipster is crossing the boundary to deliver breaking news to Endgadget. If he read the memo...those rebate forms are "Verizon Wireless
Confidential Info/Doc." Hmm...I hope your tipster doesn't get his codes pulled or sued.

Aww I just bought the u740. Why black though? It's just going to look like all the rest of the phones. I hated the champagne at first, but it really has grown on me and I love when people go "is that a gold phone?"
