Over the past month we have seen Verizon's, Samsung Illusion, pop in and out of the rumor mill, most recently accompanied by rebate information. It was first belived that we would see this device sometime this month and apparently that is the reality. Verizon will be offering this entry level device through Direct Fulfillment starting November 23rd and will be available in store on January 12th, 2012.

In case you missed it, the Samsung Illusion specs are pretty minimal and this will be a good device for teens and those who are not power users. Running Android 2.3, it sports a 3.5-inch HVGA curved display (like the Nexus'), 3MP rear camera (no front facer), 2GB onboard memory with up to 32GB of microSD card support (comes equipped with 2GB card), and a 1,500mAh battery. No details on price or how the rebate will pan out, but we suspect it to be free (or very close to it) with a new contract agreement. Click on the image below for a full specs run-down.

Stacy Bruce was born and raised in Spokane Washington. He attended the University of Washington to study pre-med only to change his course study a year later to forensic science. Although currently not a doctor or a scientist, some believe he posseses the knowledge of both. He was a resident of San Diego California for ten years, lived beachside and sometimes wonders why the hell he moved back to Spokane. A multi-talented man, Stacy is a fabricator, an artist, a gear head, a tech junkie and at most, the disciple of Casanova. Growing up, he was always enthralled with electronics, gadgets and gizmos. Throughout his life he has had one, if not two, of every cool and new electronic device available. He began his smartphone experience with the original iPhone. After realizing it was more like theirPhone, he decided he wanted the ability to customize, so Stacy moved to the OG Droid and has been a loyal Android fanatic ever since. Moving through all of the top tier Verizon phones, he recently retired his Droid Charge in favor of the Galaxy Nexus, only to wonder what great device Samsung will come out with next. Stacy is a busy new homeowner in where he lives with his beautiful girlfriend and two dogs.
