Mostly new Verizon and AT&T featurephone offerings, Best Buy will also have a new shipment of BlackBerry Tours and the Samsung Reclaim, both for Sprint. Check out the list below.

* Samsung Gravity 2 (berry) - T-Mobile
* Samsung Solstice - AT&T
* LG Xenon (red) - AT&T
* Global AirCard (G2) - Verizon
* Samsung Rogue - Verizon
* LG Chocolate Touch - Verizon
* Samsung u450 Intensity - Verizon
* Samsung Omnia 2 - Verizon
* BlackBerry Tour - (new shipment, Sprint)

Don't get too excited, the Chocolate Touch isn't the weirdo LG BL40 we saw earlier, but some other touchscreen Chocolate entry. But this is a nice development, since we were lacking release dates on several of these phones (including the AMOLED-packing Samsung Omnia 2) and this leak answers those questions. [Boy Genius Report]
