Verizon’s CDMA version of the Samsung F700, the U940 (previously codenamed “Q-ball”) that’s supposedly set to launch in March this year, has had photos and its user manual put up on the FCC’s site.  They confirm that, unlike the F700, the handset will have a 2-megapixel camera, but otherwise the casing appears to be the same. 

Disappointingly, the user manual states that “The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) browser on your phone allows you to access the web”, which puts to rest the idea that the U940 would ship with a full HTML browser.  It’s a move that will see many potential users look elsewhere for their next smartphone purchase.

As yet there is no indication from Verizon as to the price of the U940, nor confirmation on that suspected March release date.
