Ok, since my Contact at VZW just told me both the 6800 and I760 are "Slated" for Q1 Delivery, i forsee the I760 being release on 2/15/07 or 2/16/07. Makes sense, if WM6 will be official on 2/14/07.

And the race is heating up... With a release of WM6, Microsoft might want to push the timetable on the i760 to get a device out, then again, it was months after the WM5 release before the first WM5 device was released...

As soon as WM 6.0 is released, I'm making a trip to the Samsung Experience store to play with the i760.

Don't kid yourself. Look at Verizon's track record. To quote a former fellow Austinite, the great wordsmith George W. Bush:
"...fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

This device will be out in May at the absolute earliest, more likely July.

I don't expect it out for another 60 days or so. I think they will want to make their usual "Expect this awesome device soon" marketing scheme to build expectency. I have been loyal since the i700, and bought each device as it was released since. Samsung tries maintain their reputation for building long-lasting devices.

Realistically, I think it will fall in their Summer release schedule; somewhere around June I suspect. I definately hope it releases sooner, but we all know how Verizon and Microsoft schedules can flip upside down.

But i am not the expert, or a Verizon Employee; I'm just a software engineer. So what do i know?

It was more like..
"...fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me....Duhhh".

"I Just Can't get Fooled Again, Hyuk Hyuk Hyuck".

Imagine though

Wm6 out on the 14th,

the i760 out on the 15th.

No iPhone Hype, "here it is, you can't have it for like 6 months" just delivery

I would HOPE they would want to get this out before
the iPhone gets out, I could even see MS wanting to have
a device flagship it in that way.

Okay I am returning now from Fantasy land ...

This will be the fist time that I am not excited about a new device being released. That's becuse I really like my current device i730. (I'm going on two years with this device)

I hope the i760 comes soon and I will grab it ASAP but I dont mind waiting. If MRailing posts his new iphone-ish skin I will be able to wait even longer.

I have to agree with Mark. It took me a month and a half to get my phone to where i want it. Even though i love new toys i need some more time with my i730.

Oh, Trust me. I've had my Phone since Friday in 2005 when it was release. Its taken me till about now to get it working almost to where I like it. Notice i said Almost. I can't Wait until i get the I760 (and Possibly the 6800). If the I730 Worked as it should, I wouldn't be on this forumn. but it doesn't so, he I am, as you are all, waiting, wanting, wishing it's /EDIT/ SUCCESSOR would show up already.

The only reason i went to the 730 is because the 700 Didn't and couldn't have BLUETOOTH.
