Verizon has launched their version of the popular HTC Touch, with a typically catchy name  – the XV6900.  It’s available online – HERE – for $299 before a rebate offer listed on the site.

The XV6900’s specs include:

* EV–DO, 1X RTT Capable
* Windows Mobile® 6 Professional
* Microsoft® Office Word Mobile, Excel® Mobile, and PowerPoint® Mobile; Adobe® Reader® LE PDF viewer
* View, edit, create Word and Excel files; view only PowerPoint and PDF files; view, extract, create ZIP files
* Internet Explorer® Mobile
* Windows Media® Player 10
* Memory: 128MB RAM/256MB ROM
* Bluetooth® Wireless Technology (v2.0)
* 2.8" Display: 240×320 pixel; 64K color TFT
* TouchFLO® technology allows finger and stylus input
* 5–way ENTER/NAVIGATION button
* Virtual, all–touch QWERTY keyboard with additional input options
* 2.0 megapixel camera with auto–focus, zoom and video capture
* microSD™ memory support (up to 8GB)

There’s also some good news – at least according to commenters over at WMExperts – on the way TouchFLO system on Verizon’s Touch model.  It looks like they have not crammed any of their own-branded apps onto the TouchFLO Cube (as Sprint had done when Doug reviewed it) – so it allows the standard apps to be launched.  If that’s accurate, good call by Verizon.

The Touch has been quite a hit so far on various carriers – any Verizoners looking to grab this up soon?
