It was only a few days ago that I went on a rant and rave about Why does Verizon Wireless PDA Phone Options Suck So Much? No New PDA in Months - No WM6, well I just saw on Mobility today that there are going to be two new PDAs with Windows Mobile 6 coming in the near future. Although, there was no date specified.
The look, design and feel are as follows for the Verizon XV6800 and the Samsung i760:

I recently found the following site speculating on a number of Verizon phones coming this fall: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Verizon-prepares-15-still-unannounced-phones-for-release-article-a_1989.html
I, too, am a Windows Mobile/Exchange user (once your whole life syncs wirelessly can you ever go back?), and have been anxiously awaiting Verizon’s new offerings. Count me less than impressed.
While I’ve always had pretty good coverage with Verizon (and I’ve been on Verizon since about 2001), I’ve had a string of nightmarish customer service experiences. And their new line-up just doesn’t do it for me. The real question for me is, can I afford to switch to another service provider when I can call 75% of my friends, colleagues and coworkers and family in-network for free?
If only the iPhone supported Exchange… and wasn’t on AT&T… and a whole bunch of other stuff…
