It can happen, it has happened, and they did destroy the inventory. Less we forget the Samsung SCH-i630 that was suppose to be the successor to the SCH-i600. It was near this same stage in the game that the i760 is now when the i630 was scrapped.

That being said, I don't expect this to happen, nor do I want this to happen, but the fact is that it has happened

The secret password is....VZWREPISABONER

Once you tell that password to the VZW rep on 611, you'll get access to all the new phones that noboday has.

I just picked myself up two i760's which I threw in the trash after finding out I could pick up i930's.

Now I'm rolling gold plated i930's w/ 20's.

yes, that's right....20's.

Thank You. Please.

I spoke with my B2B rep yesterday, I told him that if he can order the phone now I would line up a bunch of orders for him. He is supposed to get back to me before the end of the week.

If you are interested please let me know. I will post as soon as I hear back from him.

I went in to my local Verizon store and the manager was there. He asked if I needed some help. I said sure, know anything about the Samsung I760?

Without blinking he said the release date is between the 15th and 18th of this month. I asked is that date for here in the store and he said yes.

A few weeks prior I asked this same guy the same question and he did not know what the I760 was then. So maybe it is finally happening!

ya know when I first read the post about a possible successor to the sch i760 i was pretty annoyed...thinking that might be a possibility and it would be my luck that as soon as i got the i760 a new replacement would show up on the horizon....but then i thought about it.....I have nothing to worry about...Its been a year since there was any rumor of the i760.. no rumor of any new phone yet....so by the time this i760 comes out and i get it...My NE2 will be up and woooohooooo..so i can live with it...


~ the not so annoyed anymore ryno

I know, I know...I SUCK

Believe me I am not going to jump on the i760 the first day it comes out. (maybe the second day lol)I have a strong feeling that VZW will release another nice PDA within 6 months for the summer push.

Yeah, I hear ya, in 6 months, my i760 will be old already!

I have been following this thread for a while now, but actually have something to contribute now.

I just checked Samsung's web site and the i760 is now listed.

Enjoy!

SAMSUNG SCH-I760 Verizon Wireless-mobile phones

it is amazing that someone hasn't posted thier i760 on ebay. i betcha that would selling for more than a grand or 2.

There's been a couple on ebay already.
Samsung SCH-i760 Verizon Smartphone WM6 PDA WiFi BT - (eBay item 160162477333 end time Sep-27-07 21:52:08 PDT)

crapola where was i when i was searching ebay... still a little pricey but hey like i said its a hot item

You have to search the completed items.

I am amazed that this thing is listed without having to do any crazy search.

You go to Sammy site and got to the verizon mobile phones and it is staring you in the face!

I am getting excited again!

BTW I read a post on Gizmodo last night that reviewed the tilt and they complained about it being sluggish and less responsive than the 8525.

My B2b JUST GOT BACK TO ME...

"Well man, I just got the call that I will not be able to order the device until the 19th. I tried man. Hang in there just a little longer.

Thank you,"

Not good news. What happened to June?

Verizon is rapidly making me think of switching.

wow....this thread moves fast!

My comment on latency was something I had read a a while back....before RevA was even lit up... It was a Verizon engineer on an evdo panel, talking about the network viability for voip & video...there was a lot there in the topic of bandwidth/latency/packet loss/jitter/etc....thought it was interesting...

I personally don't have experience with either RevA or hsdpa....unfortunately....

Please wait for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience!
A Verizon Wireless online pre-sales specialist has joined the chat. You are now chatting with Tonya
Tonya: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
XXXX: Hi Tonya: I am on the Samsung site and it is listing a phone carried by Verizon. the i760, I can not find it on your site, when will be released? the link on samsung is: SAMSUNG SCH-I760 Verizon Wireless-mobile phones
Tonya: I do not see that device offered on the site at this time, but I would check with our Telesales Department at 800-256-4646.
XXXX: Would the telesales dept. be able to see inventory that you would not?
Tonya: Right, we have access to the devices as they are offered online to help choose one to order with new or upgrading customers, I am sorry about that.


That was a conversation with online sales rep....
I figured I would try... LOL!!

Man, at this rate Apple will have the Exchange connector out of beta before the i760 hits.

Anyone else notice that one the samsung website, it shows the i760 as only supporting the old micro sd's (not HC's) meaning a limit of 2gb? I was under the impression it would support the new Micro SDHC's meaning a limit of up to 32 gigs when the cards finally reach that point. That may be a breaking point. This phone already has enough "old" technology in it, if this is truly the case, I'm done waiting for this one and moving on.
