I am willing to bet that was NOT an i760 you saw. One, he wouldn't have got it from his "cousin". The only people that would have it on Verizon would be internal Verizon people, and they keep track of their testing modules, and sign a non-disclosure agreement, and generally don't show it off.
Next group that has it are FUT (friendly user testing) people. They generally won't pass it on to their cousins either since they are testing the device for feedback to Verizon, and that testing is done right before the launch of the device, and we would probably have some more information about the phone.
I am willing to bet he called it an i760, when in fact it was another device. Mistaken identity. The i760 is drastically different from the i730 in looks and feel from all of the photos we have already seen. It would not come close to the i730, and you would tell if it was different. Look at the photos linked to at Giz, and you will see.

More evidence that the screenshot in the first posting of this thread is legitimate: engadgetmobile just revealed some Verizon marketing documentation that suggets the AirCard 595 is about to be revealed. I believe the screenshot in this thread said that the 595 would be released this week. This somewhat substantiates the information on that screenshot. Let's hope it follows that the i760 will be released in early February.

You're such a pessimist, jpurv!  Unfortunately, an accurate pessimist!  __________________

I thought I was being optomistic. We are talking about Verizon, after all. __________________

So did anyone notice i760 screen protectors on ebay. Talk about someone jumping the gun offering accessories...

This will be my next phone provided Verizon releases it. Quote me on that one, unless of course something better comes along.... __________________

Well seeing that Verizon is sticking to their schedule that was posted, it would seem that the i760 might be coming. I have been calling my buddy ("Ethan" nicknamed here), and he won't pass along any i | | | |
