The Lowdown

The Imagio is a touchscreen Windows Mobile 6.5 handset with a 3.6 inch WVGA screen, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD storage expansion (with no included card), it is also the first smartphone capable of V CAST Mobile TV, and it has a little kickstand.

It costs $200 on contract with Verizon after a $100 rebate.
