Details are scant, but EngadgetMobile.com is reporting that a new HTC Messenger-class Windows Mobile smartphone is headed to Verizon Wireless. 

The HTC XV6175 is a sibling/cousin of the HTC Snap / S522, slated for T-Mobile sometime this summer.  We don’t know now similar these two devices will be, either in design or specs, but the two handsets will likely have a great deal in common.

The HTC S522 is rumored for a July 1 launch with T-Mobile – will Verizon beat them to the punch or lag woefully behind?

We’ll just have to wait and see.
