It's been a while, so is there another phone I should wait for?

How does it compare to newer phones like the Touch and Voyager?

Is the release ACTUALLY coming end of Nov07?

Any new info I should be aware of before I order one?

Anyone find ways of talking VZW down on the price?

Thanks!

P.S. I'm currently using the 6600 on VZW and using it for a phone among the following...

xmradio
movies
songs
gps (iguidance)
email and such
cable tv

I'm under the impression the 6800 will do all of this as well.

From Verizon this is still the "top" choice. Many people have talked about the Tilt from AT&T.

Both of LG's new devices are not PDA phones, they compair more to the Iphone concept. They run LG's "OS" (someone correct me if its not actually LG's). I am not as familiar with the Touch but I believe it is still a WM6 device but with a little more Iphone contender intent.

The current "theory" is Nov28 for internet/telesales and retail Dec5. This has been confirmed by multiple sources partially by VZW employees (including one to me on the retail date).

Not sure what info your looking for, but nothing that I can think of stands out to me.

I think we'll have to wait till after the 28th to find out any possible price breaks.

Hope this helps.
