Agreed with the good pastor, the posting that they have is the same for both the 10 best business smartphones and the 15 best business smartphones. They also have it with two different release dates.

You know, as we wait, I keep looking at the Kaiser too. It looks really sweet. It doesn't have the numeric pad on the front, but I don't know how "married" I am to needing that. I am not locked into contract with VZW, but I would hate to give up their network and the speed of the EVDO... but man the stats on that Kaiser look pretty over-the top.
Someone tell me to focus on the i760, please.

While I still read InfoSync, I have emailed them more than a few times about inaccuracies they post (or bad links, or ...). I still load it up, but I don't read it nearly as carefully as I used to (and FWIW, not nearly as frequent thorough as this forum).

Infosync
Are they even talking about the same device? "It doesn't have a stylist..." Also, who does a review without having actually handled the device!?
...my little brother's myspace page is also reporting the i760 is coming out July and August 15th (it's a two-tiered release) and he as well as his "Top 8" all give the i760 three out of four stars!!

Totally O/T, and yet very much related to the i760-- and an arsenal of worthy successors...
Have a look at Sprint's new TV spots and ask yourself if its new 'message' carries the slightest hint of relevance. If Sprint doesn't turn around and start adding subs very soon, CEO Forsee will likely be sprintin' to pasture. (In Q1, it lost 220k users and churn sprinted at an annual rate of 27.6%.)
The "Sprint ahead" campaign, developed by its third ad agency in as many years, seems so naïve and out of touch you conclude nobody's home.
Liberating Sprint of the "suit" would be good news. There's a chance his successor will see the light and focus on a nation of mobile hostages who lust for rational services and world-class hardware--as inspired (but not quite delivered) by iPhone.
My candidate for Forsee's replacement: Billionaire and "maverick" Mark Cuban (Broadcast.com, Dallas Mavericks, HDNet, etc.). A few others are also worth a look--fixing Sprint could be fun.
--BAM
Sprint ahead

That infosync article is based upon old information, and the rumors that originally surfaced. What's really funny is that when we update information here, that is when other sites generally update their information. Many people were posting August on here, mostly first time posters who talked with "Verizon techs", but I am still being told by "Ethan" that it's set for a July release at the moment, as this will hold with the schedule for the 6800 release, and then the new Treo's in September/October/November (also some place in there they are suppose to release the new Q and the 5800 is still slated for a release), and will be a progression of removing the current "stale" PDA devices they have right now.
Anyway, it's still slated to come "soon", so we just need to be patient until it comes, as we can't do anything to make it happen sooner, no matter how hard we try...

I'm growing confident that the i760 will be released in July. Echoing tsatryn's comments, if this device isn't released soon and the Kaiser is, it's very likely that I'll jump ship to Cingular. I never thought I'd say that. I think VZW must realize there is a flight risk now for its customers (also considering the Mogul on Sprint) and probably is developing a sense of urgency on the pda front. Surprisingly, even my technology ignorant colleagues are growing anxious that vzw hasn't released anything new in a long time.
