I think that is what I am gonna end up doing now. Keep my Q, and see how it plays out. I have seriously considered a Mogul on Sprint, and get some tiny regular phone on VZW, but with their network sucking here, and no other provider than them or VZW, I don't have much to choose from.

My biggest fear is that the new Q9m, XV6800, or UTS 5800 will come out first, and I will jump on those because of my impatience.


I called August for release, but I am starting to feel its going to be later than that...

I've read in several articles that they kept 3G off to preserve battery life. For the typical iPhone user (i.e. former ipod user), battery life is probably more important than high speed internet access. In this way, I think they were smart. Apple would have gotten killed by the press if people couldn't listen to itunes on their precious iPhones for more than a few hours.

Agreed the equipment sales revenue is a one time. However, the additional 45.00 per user of recurring revenue will definately show in the "loss" column. We will keep the Aircards going, but were planning on maintaining their PDA unlimited data accounts as well.

While I can't fault anyone for getting a [you know what] (hell, I find myself drooling every time I see the interface!), I don't understand how a true PDAPhone can ever be compared to that new product over at AT&T??!! Just the fact that the AT&T product doesn't support 3rd party software is enough to takes it out of the market for me. Although OS X includes many of the other apps that I would need (e.g., calendar and scheduling), I haven't seen anything that tells me just how robust (or weak) those apps are. On the other hand, the i760/WM6 is clearly business oriented, and should deliver robust business functionality.

*Sheesh* I just need to be rich... then I could afford one of each!

Not sure if anyone has posted or seen this yet. Probably a bunch of BS, but I thought I would share anyway. Thanks

forgot to mention it shows the I760 at the bottom in sept.

It is with some sadness I generally am bidding farewell to this forum. The people here are fantastic, but I had to move over to the BB dark side. I appreciate all the help you all have been. I wish you good luck and good tinkering with the i760. I hope it gets released soon.

If the i760 is VERY stable and comes out with a no-camera version, I'd appreciate a PM letting me know (We can revisit our BB commitment in a couple of years).

I have posted a comparison of the devices here:

Hope it helps someone.

I too could not wait (as I have already sold my i730 today) and went to a Verizon store to purchase a replacement. I checked out 3 options (and the only three as I see it): Treo 700Wx, Motorola Q Black, and BB 8830. After spending an hour playing with all three, I decided to go for the Treo 700Wx. It just has everything that I was looking for in terms of user interface as well as a touch screen. It's light(er) than the i730 and has a nice form factor.

I know it's not an i730 and can already tell after surfing the web and checking out other features/apps. I will use it for the next 30 days and make a decision then whether to keep it(I really need a functional business phone that sync's easily with Outlook) or go for the latest PDA release.

I hope the i760 or Q9 comes out as I REALLY liked the form factor on the Black Q...almost bought it but got scared off by other's reports of locking and poor battery. That black rubber exterior is quite awesome as I HATE to baby a phone.

Not defecting yet folks...just experimenting with other phones.

That's a lot of phones coming out on the same day. I wonder if they are all grouped under that date because it looks like the last date on the list...in other words, it won't come out sooner than 9/4 but could come out later.

I'd strongly recommend that you stay away from the 700wx. Besides the hardware being outdated, I think the Treos have terrible build quality. I have many friends and colleagues who have gone through several units because things break down. I'd go with the 8830 over the 700wx any day (but of course I'd prefer the i760).

Oops...I better be careful with it.

That's what I was afraid of as well. I don't know what to do at this point. This website opened up my eyes to so many cool phones as I wanted to get my first windows smartphone. The scary thing is that the 6800 was not even on the list of phones from that website(as if it came out first I might get one). Verizon is pissing me off and I do not know what to do. My phone I have now sucks and I don't want to lose my new in two.

This is me

Sorry for the rant

So much for the 4th becoming a reality. Argh, I hope this phone comes out soon so I can smash my Q on the ground.

Is the Black Q really that bad?

I have a Black Q and love it. I still havn't given up my I730 but I hardly ever use it. My Q never locks up under normal use. The only time that I have any problem is when I am working on a new home screen and screw that up.

my Q is fantastic, especially now that is has the dark grey sprint housing (minus the sprint logo...). i just sold my i730 and all the goodies that went with it. i am on my original Q and have only hard reset it when the MOL updates were done to it. it never locks up on me and i run a lot of software on it. i actually like never needing a stylus. i will probably keep running it for a while and see what happens with all the new stuff coming down the road. i am actually very excited that htc is making a cdma version of the dash - form factor of a Q but with wi-fi but who knows when or if vzw would release it. as you can see by my signature i am patiently waiting for 1 of 3 new handsets coming from vzw but gsm is calling pretty hard because of the virtually unlimited choice of amazing handsets that you can buy unlocked (need a fat wallet though...) and i do travel out of the country once or twice a year so it would be nice to have a true world phone

That list isn't in chronological order. Why do you say it's "in sept"?

It doesn't look like a series of devices released on 9/4, if you look at the first line item, there is no date above or next to it. It looks like they have a blank release date or an unknown. It could still happen this month or next month!

check it out, phonescoop.com also has some news [July 5th 6:19 AM stamp date] about the revised LG Chocolate release date of July 9th, which if you look at the howardforums.com link above matches up to the 'spy excel spreadsheet'..release date for the LG Chocolate series. Is not looking good for i760 July release..

And Sept 04 looks like an all out release of phones for the lucrative Back-to-School blitz Verizon and all the other carriers are known for .


meh, I can wait, unless the iPhone drops to $100 a pop I can wait for the $200 - $300 i760.

I have only have my i730 since Sept...but i feel like everyone else the 760 needs to be be out now. But no matter to me anymore I'm dropping Verizon and going Cincy Bell/AT&T and getting a BB Curve. Verizon has gotten to much money out of me already. I'll still check in from time to time to see how things are but I'm out otherwise

So no one commented that it was just an Excel document loaded with devices and dates, heck I could make one of those up....

I would still take this stuff with a grain of salt, and just add it to the list of rumors and stand back and look at everything. We won't know anything until it is released, simple as that. Sure keep posting all this stuff, as it's fun to read, but for those of you looking at everything like it is written in stone, don't. The reason Verizon hasn't given us a date, is they still don't have one locked down, if they did, they would start hyping the device. They know when they want to release it, but they need to see what else is being released, and if it's a good time to do it financially. Almost all devices get pushed at one point or another, and this is why they are tight lipped about them.

So again, take whatever you hear with a grain of salt. "Ethan" laughed at that list and called me and asked if he wants him to make a sheet up in Excel too, and he can even put the iPhone on the list for you with a date in 2012. Until we see something posted on Verizon's site, don't believe anything you hear. Whenever I post something, again, take it with a grain of salt unless I tell you it's a sure thing, and at that point I will have confirmed it with more than one source. Ethan always says "soon" or "should be around this time", but hasn't given me a firm date until he has seen the marketing information get released with a firm date.

So again, it's still "suppose" to be sometime this month, but it's always subject to change...
