If VZW does wait til the fall, I suspect a lot of people will wait til the new models are shown at the shows at the beginning of 2008. After all, those wowed by the iPhone won't be impressed with the i760. Those of us who have been waiting this long, aren't going to jump at the the i760 when the new models with more features, which may not be crippled, will be shown a few months later, at least I won't.

Who knows Samsung may get fed up and bring that black European model over here with an American radio and do a deal with Tmobile or AT&T. That would be tempting.
