Verizon bonanza: Droid X2, Revolution, Trophy, and Xperia Play hit Big Red today

Verizon is seriously diversifying its portfolio today with the official in-store launch of 4 new smartphones. Three of them roll up in Android gear, though all of them have major selling points beyond Google’s software. LG’s Revolution is the only LTE -capable handset of the bunch, bringing with it a 4.3-inch screen and pre-installed Netflix for $250. The Droid X2 undercuts it on price, at $200, but doubles the core count with its Tegra 2 processor and ramps up resolution to qHD (960 x 540). Gaming aficionados can spend the same quantity at the Xperia Play from Sony Ericsson, which offers a slideout gamepad and unique PlayStation Certified status. Mentioning the rear is HTC’s well-traveled Trophy , a three.8-inch Windows Phone that accepts it is a little late to the party and therefore slices $50 off its asking price, with a $150 levy before the obligatory two-year contract. What say you — buy, try, or keep waiting?
