Looking at the i600 got me all excited because it seems like its pretty close to what I'm looking for in a pda phone and since verizon isnt getting any of the new cool ones that are coming out, this will just have to do. So I call verizon and they know nothing about it. I go to their website and still nothing. Is this all a fluke? Someone playing a mean joke? Shouldnt someone have some kind of information about the release of a new phone? Hopefully someone has some hard proof of this coming out because I really need a new phone and my poor little V60 is on its last legs. Thanks to anyone who knows anything.

Please keep in mind that Verizon has not officially released any information on this phone. The information posted is leaked information. There is little doubt that Verizon will officially announce the I600 in the not too distant future but until they do, you certainly will not find any information on the I600 on their website or from their customer service reps, who are usually some of the last people to know anyways (regardless if the company is Sprint, Verizon, etc). Companies like Sprint and Verizon can't afford to be officially commenting on phones yet to be released as problems may arise at the last minute that may delay or cause the cancellation of the phone and then you have a lot of angry customers. Until Verizon makes an official announcement (which those brochure images are not becasue they were leaked), you aren't going to find info on the I600 from Verizon's website or their CS reps.

Now, with that said, I am also very intrigued by this phone. The only thing that concerns me is the lack of a touch screen as well as if the keyboard accessory will be a thumbboard or a full folding keyboard.
