Nextbit said it plans to make a CDMA version of its Robin smartphone available via Kickstarter beginning Sept. 18.
The first 300 units will be available for $299, after which the price will jump to $349. Nextbit says the CDMA phone will run on Verizon’s network in the U.S. Nextbit also said it will kick off a color contest today at 2p.m. eastern.
The contest will allow Kickstarter backers to propose colors for the device. Nextbit will later put the five most popular choices to vote.
The Robin is an Android smartphone that manages storage through close ties to the cloud. It is not expected to ship until the first quarter of 2016.
