I posted the following to HoFo at lunch today ...

My company's VZW sales rep is here in the office today. He has a 755p mockup on the table. Identical to the image on the previous page (blue body, same January '08 date on the sticker, etc). Nice heft. Comfortable size. About the same thickness as my E815 when it's closed. He doesn't have a price for it yet, but expects to be able to start taking orders for with fulfillment in 2-3 weeks.

There were several questions afterwards, and I just posted the following follow up ...
Quote:
I can't provide any dates.  I was just surprised to see he had a mock up on the table with all the Chocolates and Razr's and all. The only other PDA/Smartphone's on the table were the two older BB's - 7130 & 8703. He didn't even have an 8830 with him, although he did last time he was in.
When I saw the 755p and caught his eye, I asked when it'd be available. He said he could take my order today, but it wouldn't be shipped for what he "figures to be" two to three weeks. I asked "How much with an NE2 renewal?" and that's when he discovered that the price for the 755p was not included on the price sheet's he had. His "guess" is that it'll be between $149 and $199 after the $100 NE2 renewal discount and the $100 new ADD discount.
This was our corporate sales rep (I work for a large company) so I am assuming (dangerous, I know) that this would be the "b2b channel". I didn't think to ask how soon it might show up in the stores after he could sell it to me.

So. Nothing firm, but ... a corporate sales rep making the rounds of his customers is showing off the mockup and offering to take orders (albeit with an unknown price  ). But it's more than anyone outside of VZW has seen of the XV6800 or SCH-i760.
