Verizon has just made official the Escapade world phone that is manufactured by PCD (Personal Communications Devices). Targeting those who travel around the globe frequently, the Escapade (sounds more like a vehicle name than a handset), this clamshell will be equipped with dual band CDMA 1X and quad band GSM/GPRS (850/900/1800/1900) connectivity, where it will come with a pre-installed SIM card to get you started. You will find that the Escapade comes with a 2″ internal TFT display, a 1.1″ external CSTN display, VZ Navigator capabilities, Mobile Web, email support, Bluetooth connectivity and a 2-megapixel camera. Expect the Escapade to retail for $29.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate on a new contract. [Press Release]
