The long delayed and anticipated HTC Merge once expected for Verizon may have been canceled by the carrier and instead handed off to Alltel, judging by the screenshot.
The HTC Merge is the CDMA variant of the Desire Z with a 3.7-inch screen, 512MB RAM/4GB internal Flash, Qualcomm 7630 Scorpion processor at 800MHz, sliding hardware QWERTY keyboard and a 5.0 megapixel camera.
It was once thought to have been delayed from its original Q4 2010 launch date by Verizon for the addition of an LTE radio in preparation for an official announcement and unveiling during CES, but the HTC Thunderbolt 4G took its place instead, leading to increased chatter that it was canceled outright.
There is currently no word on pricing, with availability set for next month provided it can pass final testing.
