Granted, the Touch Pro isn't ridiculous, and the Omnia we're sorta used to at this point, but as for these other two, we're not so sure. As we've mentioned, the Saga appears to be the go-to-market name for the rumored a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/i770/"i770/a, and phoneArena now sports a nice, clear picture of exactly what the blue QWERTY WinMo phone with global roaming is going to look like. The a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/u810/"u810/a Renown will be the other piece in Verizon's global roaming puzzle, a flip with a 2-megapixel cam that had been previously pegged for a late-September release but has been pushed back for unknown reasons. The CDMA variant of the a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/Omnia/"Omnia/a -- the i910 -- just popped onto our radar a couple weeks ago, and we now have official-looking photography of Verizon's WinMo-equipped jewel with a 5-megapixel camera, and 8GB of internal storage with microSD expansion. Finally, we suspect that throngs of Verizon loyalists are going to be thrilled to see a photo of a Big Red-branded a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/TouchPro/"Touch Pro/a, a phone that had been a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/05/more-details-on-htcs-touch-diamond-touch-pro-for-verizon-and/"rumored/a to be coming to The Network for several months now with very little proof to show for it. All four of these monsters are currently slated for November, and with the holidays just around the corner, we bet Verizon would just emlove/em to hold to that plan.p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com"img src="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Engadget Mobile" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" //aa href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/27/branding-overkill-verizons-omnia-saga-touch-pro-and-renown/"Branding overkill: Verizon's Omnia, Saga, Touch Pro, and Renown all pictured/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com"Engadget Mobile/a on Mon, 27 Oct 2008 04:12:00 EST.
