Verizon's business model, when it comes to hardware at least, is to limit competition. Sign exclusivity deals with hardware manufactures so that, if you want the i760, you have to have Verizon. Period. Their testing ensures the least amount of tech support calls, not the most functional device. If that means crippling features and dumbing down the device, than so be it.
But it still doesn't hurt to post this in the hopes that some person at Verizon reads it and decides it's a good idea and that giving me (err a few good people) a pre-release of the i760 or whatever new gadget they have. It's all about dreaming...

Michael, I for one would LOVE it if VZW you, SuperDave, and Mark_A_K (and a few others here) a pre-release version to test out--especially if Samsung and VZW actually listened to your feedback and made changes as you all suggest. As much I would like to be a beta tester for a new device like this, I could see beta testing sucking up all my time and, as a result, going broke in the process.

"Ethan" tried to get me a part of it, but that wasn't his division, and most of the people he talked to gave him/me the run around. Ethan now is in a totally different area, more with the technical side of their systems, and not involved in the phone side any longer, so it would be even harder to get it done. I haven't talked to him in about a month due to his busy schedule, but he says he's no longer in the loop on the phone side of things without making a lot of calls...

Played with an i760 Yesterday, drool

Verizon had their local EV launch event yesterday. The Samsung rep was set up so I started talking to her about how much I love my 730 and it's been two years now when are we getting something new. She starts talking about the 760 and when it's suppose to be released and all it's features. I start getting all giddy and the VP of my company standing next to me is just rolling his eyes. Then she pulls one out from under the table, fully functional and hands it to me. Don't wave this around the room, she says, I'm not suppose to show it off yet. First thing I did was jump to the device info to see if it's really got everything she says it does. Saw Wifi, BT 2.0, 1.3MP camera. She swears they are going to release it with the camera this time because of all the consumer flak they caught with the 730. I didn't look around much to see if all this info was already out there, just searched these forums. I'd say it felt about 2/3 as heavy as my 730 with the standard battery.

Sorry about the stupid post mrailing, why when I searched the forum for 760 did it return 0 results.

760 won't return anything, i760 will. The search engine here doesn't like 3 character searches... No biggie, just merged the posts to here...

I just wish I could remember the exact version of the OS I saw on it. I've been so busy the past few months I haven't had time to keep up with this forum. The rep really gave me the impression that it would be released in Feb or March.

It has Crossbow on it, which is essentially WM6...
