Today Verizon Wireless officially starts offering the XV6900, a device known to most of the rest of the world as the famed HTC Touch. In a press release sent to us today, Verizon confirmed that the XV6900 was to go on sale on the company's website. On top of that, the press release also lists out a fairly complete spec sheet for the device, which appears to show at least one major upgrade from the version of the Touch that is sold by other carriers.
The press release, which is slated to go across the wire later this morning, states that the XV6900 has a 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus. Auto-focus is something that previous version of the Touch have lacked. The specs also state that the XV6900 has 256MB of internal flash storage and 128MB of RAM, which is far better than what was offered by the GSM version of the original Touch. Verizon also appears to be offering an 1880mAh extended battery for its XV6900 that should increase battery life by about 70% when compared to the standard battery, though it is unclear at this time if the extended battery is included in the retail package or is merely an available option.
[Update: There is no auto-focus in the device, the press release was inaccurate. -editor]
In any event, the EV-DO capable XV6900 will be available starting today for US$349.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate when purchased with a new two year agreement. An additional $100 can be saved if a qualifying voice and data plan is linked to the device.
