This helps see what we learned and how the information came to shape the device. Many of the previous release thread are over hundred pages, and over a few thousand posts, and yes, are hard to follow, but on a device like this with an active moderator, the important information is generally pulled out and posted, as it has been, as generally all LONG threads are.
Again, we are hearing the users comments on long threads, and looking at better ways to resolve this, and have some in the works, but if you are a new comer to this thread, know that the important information from here, is already pulled out and in the other threads in the this forum.

I love threads like this... Total speculation.. it brings out the true nature of online forums..everyone has an opinion, no one is wrong, everyone has passion for the subject! If you wanna see a speculation thread that took on a life of its own check out the old speculation thread in the Kyo 7135 forum when that device started getting delayed! Oh the black helicopters were flyin' there!

Hey, I was on those threads then (I think it was even a different site and then merged with pdaphonehome). That was unreal. The i730 was a good one also.

Regarding wireless device forum speculation/release threads, here's an interesting factoid:
PDAPhH's i760 Release/Rumor thread (this thread) currently reflects 1,122 posts and 98,598 views.
In comparison, consider stats for equivalent threads covering the forthcomng Lenovo ThinkPad T61/T61p (a new generation of what's arguably the industry's best-built/supported business-class notebook family). From two forums*, the threads reflect a total of 150 posts and 26,678 views.
Why the great disparity?
The simple answer is...frustration. The difference is the measure of just how much m-o-b-i-l-i-t-y matters and how hard it is to achieve. Given the sadly mediocre nature of current (and announced) devices and carriers' insufferably bad habits, it's apparent that the US wireless industry doesn't yet get mobility. In turn, post-count--a proxy for road warrior blood pressure--pops off the chart.

Be careful what you wish for. I'd like to think the device will be out before those numbers are reached, especially since my NE2 date is May 14. Seems a little bleak at this point for anything before the 2 year anniversary of the 7/2005 release date of the i730. Its starting to remind me of the wait for the WM5 upgrade.

MR,
At the rate at which the i760 isn't being released, we just may catch up!
Actually, the difference is probably twofold:
1) The i730 wasn't incrementally better than predecessors, it was dramatically better, and
2) There are many more PPC/smartphone choices today than two years ago; all carriers now have 802.11x-equipped devices and all but T-Mo offer broadband.
The justification for the i730 anticipation thread's being exceptional is that the product is still competitive after two years!
This distinction isn't likely to be repeated and will certainly not apply to the i760. With limited horsepower and RAM, and absent EvDO A, power users in major markets will soon be restless.
Wake up, Moto...

I was really holding out hope (as futile as it might seem) that the i760 would be released by my birthday (this Wednesday). However, in reading the past few days' posts, it sure doesn't seem like that's going to happen.  So now, I'm hoping that the i760 will be released for Father's Day so when my wife asks me what I want, I can tell her the i760.  __________________

Well crap!
"The i760 is not due to launch in the near future. We have no date at this time we can publish."

Hmmm I could be wrong but I seem to remember someone saying it would be June...Where is he I can't find him..  Looks in mirror, oh there here is I still say its June or July. June is I believe not only the anniversary month of the i730, the summer also symbolizes warmth, vibrancy, new life in bloom, it's the 6th month being the number of man, and its when some other phones are going to be coming out..but really, I just have a strong feeling it's most likely June. July the latest, as its the 7th month, a whole/holy number being good but not really representative of Verizon..so July the latest, they can do some 4th of July marketing junk, unless they really screw up or have set backs with the testing. I wonder how sturdy that device will be though.. __________________
Samsung i730 (LOVE IT! I always use it as the main PPC)

-SCH-i760- The new replacements I got work well, but I prefer the one handed vertical qwerty in my i730 over any horizontal sliding qwerty keyboards.
NEXT? Maybe i770..?..Omnia?..Innov8? Chuck Verizon all together for an SGH-i760? iPhone? I don't know yet but I still thoroughly enjoy my i730!
