I humbly appologize. I know your name is Michael and not Mark, but I was talking to a Mark on the phone when I was typing and I kept calling him Michael. LOL
Until this phone comes out, you will just have to excuse me for being totally crazy and accept my appologies. __________________

A couple of on topic and a couple of only slightly off topic things.
The charges being out has been a topic of talk off and on, well it is out and has been for a long time. You see it uses the same plug as the Sammy U740.
It has been said that the 760 has no Infra Red but the specs list an IrDa Gate... what's the dif?
Also I was concerned about the Processor speed too. But the device seemed plenty snappy when I was playing with it for the short time I did. I was flippying it opened and closed and the screen rotated quickly. I was flying through menus pretty quickly too. So hopefully the CPU will be just fine.
Someone mentioned getting used to the keyboard I will say that the keyboard seemed very responsive and super easy to type on.
Off topic a bit.. Michael is it possible that you may finish the Carbon Fiber Dialer in time for the new device? I would really like to be able to use that on the 760. You have done some beautiful work so far. Also huge thanks for all you and SD have done over the years.
And I can absolutely Guarantee that you can combine NE2 and ADC or (advaced device promo credits) there are guidelines like only on a plan 34.99 and above, only when combining voice and data for the first time on your account. If you remove the unlimmited data VZW does have the right to charge you the 100.00 discount. Keep in mind these discounts are what will take this device down to the 200 - 400 dollar price range that I would fully expect it to be released at. And I have no doubt there will be other rebates as well. |

I just got an email from my VZW rep. He no longer works for Verizon and now works for Cinti Bell.
I asked him what he could tell me about the i760 and he said it's not coming out until October. Personally, i think (know) he is full of crap. He is just trying to get me to leave VZW. He seemed genuinely offended that i wasn't even willing to dicusss what devices Cincinnati Bell was offering.
Typical recent college grad who thinks they had anything to do with my decision to buy from VZW in the first place.
4th rep in 3 years.........

not to be a jerk or anything but this is not at all on topic. this topic is about the release date of the i760, not about specs or credits......
i have been guilty of posting off topic as well but have been trying not to recently.
it is very difficult to get anything relevant from this thread anymore.

Actually, unless I'm mistaken, I think that this thread is intended for ALL discussion of the i760. What is off-topic might include the iPhone, why you are buying a Sprint Mogul, pictures of your cat, etc. I don't think the mods wanted separate threads about specifics until the device is actually released (since for the most part we can't actually confirm anything until then anyway, although some things seem more concrete than others).
From Michael's sticky:

Since this forum is new, and the device has yet to be released, please keep all discussions about the i760 in the Release/Rumor thread. This will keep a general discussion continuing, and once the device has been released we will hopefully spawn the new information. If a thread is posted that should be in the i760 Release/Rumor thread, it will be merged into that thread.
In the coming month(s), I will be working up the information on the i760 as starting the FAQ and general information. I am going to work on getting this going from the beginning and try to keep it up.
It will help keep things organized to stick with the Release/Rumor thread until more concrete information is put out and once it is finally release, so your help in this matter would be greatly beneficial...

So asking a question like "Will XXX work on it", we don't know.
I am going to close this thread, as this is jumping the gun a bit, and nobody knows for sure.

Michael, if spec discussion is now off-topic here, please let us know, and maybe we could start a "pre-release specs questions" thread.
Re: Ir port, do we really need one of these? How much does anyone use one outside of trying to remotely control a bar tv? Maybe there are still other necessary uses that I don't know. I remember trying to swap files to a laptop via IR from my old ipaq back in the day. I never could get it to work. |

this thread is about what the title says. if it is truly about anything "i760" then it should say that
we have all been posting off topic, including MRAILING.

Point of Simple Order
As is human nature, people digress when what they want, they cannot have. This thread (IMHO) is about the release of the i760. It is impossible to find the few strands of wheat in the morass of chaff - each of us is waiting for that one post that says "it's here".
Friendly suggestion - if your post contains information (good bad or indifferent) about the release of the i760 - put it here. Someone consider starting an i760 rant/rave thread - post there when you want to talk iphone, kaiser, cats, or dogs.
That way we will drool even more with very delicious morsel that is posted here, as we get closer to the release.

Once the device is out this thread will be closed and as far as I'm concerned, all the threads in the list should be closed. Only the new threads after the release will be relevant.
