I too have Verizon, and use the HTC Touch for reading with ubook. It's not a perfect solution, since the screen is only 2.8", but it's adequate.

My "New Every Two" date is in February, so if the Motorola Sholes shows up by then, I'll be a happy camper.

Otherwise, the HTC Touch Pro 2, with something like a 3.5" screen, WinMobile and a full QWERTY keyboard just hit T-Mobile, is going to Spring in the next couple of weeks. Rumor has it Verizon will get this phone in the next couple of months - I just hope this isn't wishful thinking, but if you can hold off a month or so, you may have a better idea whether the Touch Pro 2 is truly coming to Verizon.

Cheers, Carl.
