Awright, we may or may not be able to establish the veracity of this obscure intelligence, but it's waaaaay interesting.

This image comes from an unrelated HoFo post presented to confirm VZW's upcoming release of the Samsung U740, a small, dual-hinge QWERTY unit. It purports to be an internal VZW document.

Now, if you scoll down to proposed Q1 '07 releases, look at what appears:

Samusung (sic) i760 (Robin) 2/12 (a Monday)

We need to dig into the FCC archives and see if this baby has been submitted for type acceptance as a CDMA device. If it's to release in early Feb, it should be approved imminently.

Thought you'd all like to see this curiosity. If it's legit, we can stop spinning wheels and contemplate the prospect of an official ix30 successor in '07. You decide...

--BAM
