I guess I am getting a little sick and tired of the "I've talked with my people and this is the time frame we have been told..." BS. Come on, Like MRailing has said, and KBAM, these reps are not allowed to disclose the release time of the phone. By now, in the postings, I have seen hundreds of posts stating one date, then another and then another. If we can get a Verizon guy, on the record with a solid date, great. Until then, I feel much better with "Ethan" as our main person. Thanks all. Also, please, please, leave the iPhone off of this forum. Everywhere I go on the bloody internet, I hear of the device. Please no more.

if you have been with this thread from the beginning and if you happened to have been through the i730 initial release/rumor thread and also the i730 wm5 release/rumor thread or any other release/rumor thread you should know the following:
1. store reps know nothing
2. corp reps know nothing
3. cs reps know nothing
4. dts techs know nothing

Ok so I will apologize as being one of the offenders....I only posted info from my rep because he was spot on when the I730 was to be released 4 months prior to its release. It was in my hands from the mailbox on the day he had forecasted. Anyway, so when he told me July, I believed him and wanted to pass along the info......I will keep my mouth shut and fingers crossed!!!

Happy fourth everyone!!!!

LOL, If people dont post what you have heard on the i760 release here, whats the purpose of this thread!? I agree to keep the Custom Service reps and retail reps BS off of here, but biz reps and other "insiders" have been a great source of info and their information should be encouraged to be posted here.

If you look back at this thread (as well as the i730 pre-release thread) you will start to some trends develop in the info released. -I'm sure these trends would have been on the money, until the GIN delay. If you want a firm date that wont change from a "Verizon guy on the record", this isn't the site for you. Posting "rumors" IS the point of a "rumor" thread, fow-shizzle!!

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.

Did anyone notice that they dropped the Silver Q from the website today? It was up there yesterday. They also moved up the Black Q to the top above the PN-820. Possible positioning for another addition but really means nothing...thought you might find that somewhat interesting over and above all of the date speculation.

No need to apologize. Your informaiton is just as valid as anyone elses information on the i760. Welcome to the forum and thanks for your input.

Mark

Where are you at not to be nosey but in the Cincinnati/Dayton area the silver Q hasn't been on the site in over a month and neither is the 6700 i730 and one of the treo's not sure which though.

Ahhh...Northern Virginia area. It was just there yesterday as I was comparing it to the testman site. So it all depends on availability based on zip code.

Just in case the I760 has a delay in launch and the XV6800 was available first, how bad of a phone would that be compared to the I760?
Can't deal with using this tiny keyboard on the I730 much longer!
