Judging from these product photos, the newest LG communicator from Verizon, the 9900, seems to be almost ready to launch. Looking a bit sexier than the 9800, the 9900 has a 2-megapixel camera (up from 1.3-megapixel in the FCC filing), microSD slot, QWERTY keypad, and built-in speakers. Fans of the older communicator will definitely want to upgrade, even though the external screen is (still) tiny.

No launch date or further info yet, but have a look at the product shots and drool as it flips for you open like the naughty girl she is.
