I just checked testman...nothing doing there

Mine says that my wireless account has been disconnected...that's not good!

Mine says the same thing, they must be doing some kind of system maintenance as my phone still works.

for what it's worth, I just went in to my local VvZW store to get my wife an upgrade phone and the sales rep told me that the latest release info he knew about was that the I760 would be available on September 10th. Hr also thought that it would have Rev A, but was not 100% sure on that.

This may be a consumer release date rather than a b2b release date, but I guess we'll just have to wait to hear the information that Ethan said SHOULD be out hopefully this coming week before we know for certain.

Wierd!! I got mine 3 days ago. Its really cool. Way better than the i730.




j/k, I had the i730 and had 3 replacements. I hope this one is better, really looking forward to it.

Then general concensus seems to be that the phone was not developed with a Rev A capable chip.

Read Equus post again....it states that the phone did NOT have Rev A when he tested it, but VZW has been known in the past to pull chips and swap them in sweat shop of sorts. Basically he seems to be saying pull the Rev 0 chipset and replace it with a Rev A chipset.

This action to me would require FCC approval.

I do believe that Scott Adams is waiting for his i760 as well...

When does the new model come out...

cybrwulf,

This was already posted in the mirror world...Samsung i760 - Realistic/Humor Thread ....I forgot the name of the Seinfeld episode where Elaina had the same set of Friends like George and Jerry etc..

Also I like your signature.

Geckotek,

Equus' post is somewhat cryptic. Still, the i760 either has QCOM's Rev A chipset or it doesn't.

It's inconceivable that VZW would authorize any post-manufacture hardware mods, let alone pay for them. And as you say, an FCC filing, as well as a firmware change, would be required.

So, as a practical matter, Rev A would have had to have been onboard at the time of FCC submission and approval. (The i760 was approved 03/30/07.)

Looks like no cigar.

--BAM

Ahaha, that's exactly what I thought too when she told me that it had been released. :\

So I called back and talked to another rep and she said she'd have a talk with her employee and straighten some things out with her so she doesn't go around telling everyone that asks about the i760 that it's been released.

Although, it would be funny to have a bunch of hopeful people buying it only to realize that they purchased an i730 because she couldn't understand them or was just confused. :P

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to Capitalism folks. As much as we want (pray) to come out, we cannot complain to the fact that it does not. Out info comes from leaks, rumors, and some folks violating their NDA. In other words, they didn't annouce, so we cannot complain. If they did say "July 5" or whatever and that day passed, then we can storm/raid the VZW HQ with a big log. Until that happens, chill. We can be disappointed, but we cannot be angry.

While I've said this all along and agree with it, I have one thought that's starting to take over.

While Verizon owes us no particular phone. As customers under contract, they do owe us a suitable selection of phones that fit our needs. I signed up our company with a corporate contract with Verizon. This is not somehting that is easy to walk away form since we have many lines at differing points in their contract.

If for some reason I wanted/needed to move to another PDA phone with new functionality, Verizon is failing to offer such a phone.

Luckily, I am happy with the Q (as flawed as it may be) for our salesforce and I'm not looking to migrate. But what if I brought on a new app that required something more than a smartphone? The current selection of PDA phones is lacking and getting outdated.

To summarize, Verizon doesn't owe us the release of a particular phone. But they are doing their business PDA customers a great disservice by allowing their selection of PDA phones to languish.

"The Bizarro Jerry"

P.S. no news from my rep but he seems to think sept.

Looks like one of the VZW boys posted an updated spreadsheet that says the 6800 will be released on the 15th, but no update on the i760 that is also listed on that bit of info.

I've got news.

Here we go. Are you guys ready?
































































There it is. Ok, that was cruel making everyone scroll to see the news. lol

Sweet. So, 8/16 business launch and 8/30 consumer.
