Has your teenager started to complain that their old phone just isn't sufficient enough and started to hint for one for the holiday season. Verizon may have the perfect fit for your son or daughter in their new device called the Blitz that recently arrived in stores. The Verizon Blitz is a capable messaging phone that has Blackberry-esque features at a price that won't break the bank.

The new smartphone is shaped like a new generation iPod Nano and folds out to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The typing on the keyboard, perfect for people people who like to text day and night, is a breeze and is the true strength of the phone. The device also has a capable music player which allows users to subscribe to services like Vcast and Rhapsody subscription services. To complete the gadget's package is a nice size full color screen and easy to navigate interface which is very user friendly.

In my time with the phone I didn't need to consult the user guide, which is very thick and easy to navigate when I did pop it open for
review purposes, as everything was intuitive on the device. Some of the features, some with extra cost per month, web browsing, GPS,
email, and a media center which features downloadable games and ringtones. The phone function is loud and clear and can be adjusted easilly for whatever your ideal volume you desire.

It may not be branded as a Blackberry but the Verizon Blitz is pretty darn close and you won't have to shell out a ton of cash in order to get your son or daughter into one and make them a happy camper come Christmas time. The Blitz is priced at $69.99 with a 2 year contract through Verizon.
