Ready for some iPhone Verizon rumours? 3rd of Feb is NOT the day! [Updated]

I can’t quite believe it either. It [...]

Verizon and LG launch phone and headset combo
The phone is called the LG Decoy and it is a slider phone that has a built in Bluetooth headset. Pretty nifty. The press release doesn’t say, but I’m assuming that there will be a holster designed specifically for it too.
