I was @ the VZW store last night to exchange my I760 (typical problems). I've had the phone since it came out, and have lived with the problems for the 10 or so months. VZW rep told me the phone was not available (out of stock for replacement) and suggested the (imo) flimsy 6800. I told him I would wait for "new" stock on the I760. They said it could be weeks - DANG! Well, today I thought I'd give cust supp a call to my delight they have a batch of BRAND NEW I760's available. I should be getting mine after Thanksgiving. I'm assuming it will come loaded with 6.1... Maybe? Only time will tell. It just bums me out that VZW always offers up a less than equal replacement. Go figure. I'll see how this new one is once it comes. I may try to finaggle (sp?) a Touch PRO or I770 if this does not work out (more problems). After all, I did pay a premium price for a premium phone (at the time) that I expected to last at least 2 years without issues.
