<snip>It certainly doesn't appear so or you'd heed the repeated words of the mods and take it to the appropriate thread. As GadgetNut said, it's really a matter of courtesy. -I'd think the religious right would get that.
I don't want to offend you -I'm sure some people probably even find all your off topic posts interesting. I would just ask that you please take it to the right place.
This is an information based site. Nothing wrong with enjoying each other's company along the way, but if it is "social networking" you're after, I'm sure there are more than a few sites out there for ya. -Or just take it to Mark's humor thread.
Its just like when people post without searching. It just makes it much harder for everyone to find what they are looking for!
Hopefully the 760 will be here soon enough and we can get back to helping each other make these devices ROCK!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
I will gladly listen to and heed any direction given by our great moderators. I will not, however, pay a bit of attention to the directives given by someone with 95 posts and 100% attitude.
Just got out of a meeting with a national account manager. Got stonewalled on any release information and now I am under an NDA.
Sorry folks guess I will be relegated to observer status at this point and really didn't gain any useful information other than an obscure "Q4" reference post meeting.
Now that's funny! See what happens when you try to follow through official channels? You get your nose slapped with a rolled up NDA document!

Surely this is the kind of marketing that would disqualify the FCC exclusion thingy? yeah yeah I know different thread...
I hope this thread doesn't get closed... the bantar is like a reality show.. there is always something worth reading about. I like the suggestion to post an exclamation point on note worthy information instead of Idle chatter.

First Impressions:
I cannot believe that I wasted so much of my time in this forum. The i760 is NOT an iPhone killer period. If anyone thinks that it is then you are lying to yourself. What I was disappointed with the most was how the phone looked. This phone has very plain looks that will never get turned heads. The i730 is actually a much better looking phone but it is just too big. As far as software, it has the same tweaked buggy Windows Mobile operating system that most other new pda phones will have or already have. There will be no surprises in the software, except for the surprises that we may receive when we find out about all the features that Verizon crippled.
Even the Verizon employee that handed me the phone admitted that this phone is just plain and is far from an iPhone killer. I will probably have to say goodbye to this forum because I am going to be waiting for the 6800 to come out or will be switching carries. There will probably be people out there that will just love this phone when it comes out. My point is that this phone is definitely not worth the attention and the anticipation that it has been receiving. It’s just an okay plain Samsung phone with last year’s features. I hope this is not the best that Verizon can do. Verizon, you are NOT hiding a diamond here but rather expired milk that should have been drank three months ago. I hope nobody is offended by my post. I am just very disappointed and upset.

All of this opinion based on a cheap plastic dummy phone that you can't do anything with... and isn't even made with the same material as a normal phone...
I would hope that one would have known what they were getting into before hand with Windows Mobile 6 as well, with a nick like "mobilegeek"
I think you had to do this with the i730 and I think it's time for the i760 thread.
Just shut it down....
Lock the thread until real news appears. I know it seems harsh, but this is not worth reading anymore.

that seems kinda Harsh, yes, i had to read through 60 posts to get basically nothing, but at least there was something to read, and yes, some entertainment. Simply put, if You don't like the "Banter" then skip to the last post or just don't read it anymore. Shutting it down? is this communist controlled?
Simply put, if You don't like the "Banter" then skip to the last post or just don't read it anymore.
It is the "banter" that has kept me coming back for more. The "banter" is what has made me understand how deeply our mods and the "regulars" (those with more than single- or double-digit posts) care about having the best equipment, programs/hacks and forum out there! If you want no personality, go read the news clips, don't join the forum.
Do the posts get long winded. A little.
Do I enjoy reading the FCC legalese? Not so much.
Is there another forum besides PDAPH I read nearly as much? No way.
Take it or leave it, because we love it.
Leave our moderators alone.
Stop your sniping, sit back and enjoy.
I have a buggy 730 that needs to be replaced, so I am as desperate as all of you... I am just glad there are friends on this forum to lean on.

Are you saying that you were given a real phone, or a dummy phone? Your remark is ambiguous. By the way: Where was this store? I think that we still haven't seen any dummy/display phones east of the Mississippi.

If an 'iPhone killer' was your primary interest, then I do indeed suspect that you have wasted your time on this forum, at least on this particular thread. All that crap about an 'iPhone killer' was probably never anything more than VZW ad exec hyperbole, and I don't recall seeing anything that definitively named the i760 as the so-called 'iPhone killer'. I think that most of us here really don't give a hoot about comparing the i760 to the iPhone, and I think that you've gotten way off track in making the comparison between a truly business-oriented pda-phone and a beautifully executed union between a (not quite) smart phone and an iPod.

While most people do care about esthetics, I think that it's fair to say that substance matters more than fashion to most of this forum's participants. Yeah, you're probably in the wrong place if the most dissapointing thing was how the phone looked; perhaps you might be more comfy on a Prada forum.

Again... are these remarks based on playing with a real phone, or do they have nothing to do with your VZW visit? Certainly, there is a lot of info available on WM6, and not all of it is good, but I'm just trying to sort out whether you're speaking from experience (e.g. playing with the real phone), or simply expressing an opinion.

Bye... Good luck with the 6800; I may eventually opt for that route as well (even though it's not an 'iPhone killer', either )

Truth be told, I for one am not offended, but I can't for the life of me figure out why you're griping, now! There have been photos of the i760 available since at least January, but you're only just now realizing that you don't like how it looks? There have been lots of posts here and elsewhere about the phone's stats (although they have been largely uncomfirmed, to be sure), but you're only just now realizing that the phone isn't revolutionary?
You're right that some folks (hopefully myself included) will like the i760 when it finally arrives. But they won't be folks who are looking for an 'iPhone killer' or a revolutionary phone, or even a fashion phone.
I'm frustrated by all the waiting for VZW to release any new pda-phones, but your rant seems way off the mark to yours truly.
Good luck... I hope that you find what you're looking for.
You said: Just "for the record," you ain't talkin' 'bout me. Unless someone is dead, dying, or incapacitated, I'm not involved.
Based on overwhelming expert testimony, a preponderance of the evidence is that VZW is incapacitated. Thus, this court must conclude you are involved, counselor.
(Play .mp3 of gavel.)
--BAM
P.S. Should the required standard be "beyond a reasonable doubt," throngs of additional witnesses are waiting to testify.

On-Topic - I didn't have any luck with an earlier post linking to the Samsung i760 page prior to today re: getting any links to work. However, today I paid another visit and, although there is nothing on the i760, the other links work now (i.e. VZW specific info and other phones). Either I missed it before or the little elves are busy prepping the page for use soon! Again, sorry if I missed the working links before.

Im gunna jump on the off topic band wagon here for a moment...
this thread is awesome! it could easily be turned into a movie script... something a kin to a movie like "saw." Like we are all locked in a room and have to work together to get out and at the beginning everyone was cool and staying to the point and trying to figure out the situation, but as time draws on people start turning on each other and begin bashing one another...
So more than 30 posts of complaining about off-topic posts. Just stop, please, this is NOT the place to do this. Remember the old adage, "don't crap where you eat." well, that's what happening. Please, take the junk to the Humor thread, keep this to the SCH-i760 release and rumor, which is basically talking about the i760. Really, if someone does post something of interest, it's missed... It doesn't matter if you talked to a rep and they said something, post it up, that is what this thread is about, not fixing the problems with Verizon...

Here's the scoop (if anyone really cares): In Arizona, the term "incapacitated" is used to describe someone who is impaired to the extent he lacks sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning his person. If the court finds by "clear and convincing evidence" that a person is incapacitated, the court can appoint a guardian to make health care and other decisions for the person.
In contrast, if the court finds by a "preponderance of the evidence" that someone is unable to manage the person's estate and affairs effectively for reasons such as mental illnesss, mental deficiency, mental disorder, physical illness or disability, choice use of drugs, chronic intoxication, confinement, dentention by a foreign power, or disapperance, the court can appoint a conservator to manage the person's property and financial affairs for him.
So, KBAM, I really think you meant to say that VZW needs a conservator because it is not able to manage its business affairs effectively. In that case, yes, I might be of some service. Now I open up the debate on whether the VZW's inability to manage its estate and affairs effectively is due to which of the following: mental illnesss, mental deficiency, mental disorder, physical illness or disability, choice use of drugs, chronic intoxication, confinement, dentention by a foreign power, or disapperance.

im a bit concerned with the speed of the i760, i have a wm5 aku 3.5 xv6700, and honestly it is a piece of **** and is laggy and slow as hell.
however, i tried out my friends t mobile DASH with wm6 standard, and it was lightning quick!
does anyone know how the speed of say the moto q9, with wm6 standard, will compare to the speed of the i760 with wm6 pro???
is the smartphone edition generally quicker than the professional touchscreen phones? thats what it seems like
thanks
It remains to be seen. It is suppose to be better, and the Processor is suppose to be faster, even though it's a lower rated speed.
It's hard to compare a standard and pro version of WM, since they are different OS's. Also the Q has a slower Processor. Also since both aren't out, you can't compare them yet...
