Today Verizon announced a new $50 unlimited everything plan for their prepaid customers. Seems Big Red has been feeling the heat from competitors like Sprint’s Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile and even national retailers like MetroPCS. Starting Thursday, this new unlimited talk, text and web plan will hit all of Verizon’s retail chains among wireless retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and Target.

So what kind of cutting edge, Android powered smartphone will $50 a month get you? Well, currently Verizon offers the cutting edge Motorola CITRUS in their prepaid lineup and will set you back about about $250. Other than that — it’s all feature phones, baby. Let’s hope Verizon can increase that prepaid Android lineup soon and offer something with a little more “substance.”

An update for you Verizon faithful looking to find a device you may want sometime soon. The Motorola CITRUS and the Motorola Droid 2 (along with its global counterpart) will both see end-of-life on the Android side of the spectrum. Both have had good runs but have been outclassed by sequels or better comparable devices.

There are supply shortages for several other non-EOL devices as well, including the DROID 3, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Continuum For the first we’re not sure if it’s due to shortages or lack of demand, the second one has been a hot item up against the once-pricey Motorola XOOM, and the third one, well, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear that no one wanted this thing. Just sayin’. [Android Central]
