This on its own was big news, as we've been tracking evidence of the 928 for some time now, showing up in smartphone databases and having a few of its camera's images posted online. As we wait to learn how the carrier will finally put the phone up for sale, we've got one more look at the 928 to take, now showing off the phone in white. While this is only a rear look, the front of this white version presumably keeps the same general layout ...

Remember the old Casio G’zOne Commando? The rugged Android hit Verizon back in 2011. Last fall, we were wondering if Verizon was getting ready to replace it with a newer version, after seeing the G’zOne model C811 show up in FCC certification paperwork.

The Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon is pretty much just a rumor at the moment but rumors don't post images to the internet -- and good ones at that -- like we've recently seen one yesterday.
