This ruling is simply not going to affect the i760 or the 6800 from what I can tell.

I would not trust CNETs article or any of their reporting. How the ban was intended, how it was written, and if/how it will be implemented are three entirely different things.
Gov. Ruling Bans Qualcomm Handsets - Gearlog
Verizon is quoted as saying
"It grandfathers models that were being imported for sale to the general public. We have to have been selling them on June 7th This mean that Phone's in the Verizon Labs are also being blocked."
As I said previously it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. The feds have set a precedence of over-ruling these tatics during the blackberry case. I am still optimistic that we will see the end of June begining of July release date. |
