This article appeared on Gizmodo: Details on Verizon's Holiday Phone Lineup - Verizon - Gizmodo which includes the "Saga 2".

Anyone have any details on the upgrade?

Yikes... guess we won't be seeing anymore updates for the i770

hopefully it's more robust....

But I do have to say that I wish there was an HTC of this form factor (touch screen with front facing keyboard)- HTC's are always hacked all to timbuktoo (sp?) with goodies.

Agreed... I love me some front facing keyboard form factors, but find the standard edition too limiting (I might as well just buy a nokia or something). It is one of the major things that drew me to the saga. The only other thing out there that I have found is the palms and I am not going back there... So that is why I put up with ugly blue, dropping signal, etc. It's not a perfect phone, but I haven't found anything better.
Has anyone actually see what the Saga 2 is supposed to look like? I can't seem to even find rumour photos

Poking around sounds to me like it might be a verizon flavor of the samsung intrepid on sprint.

on sprint 10/11 for $150 you will get
similar formfactor as our sagas
2.5 inch 320x480 (looks landscape from the pics i have seen) touchscreen over the keyboard
3.2 mp camera
winmo 6.5
cdma rev A / GSM UMTS
528 mhz cpu
512 rom/ 256 ram
microsd
wifi

smells like an updated saga to me.

You can see the official specs on the windows mobile website (sorry if i copied something wrong)
