While visiting my local VZW store to get some upgrades yesterday I again asked an RSC I work with and the Store Manager about the 6800 and the Sammy i760. They are well aware of my interest in the 6800. They said the Sammy rep had just been by a week before and told them the i760 was not going to be released as planned. It is going back into the shop to get Rev A in the hardware. Sammy apparently believes the i760 cannot sell for long against the 6800 and other PDA phones with no hope of a Rev A upgrade.

This is not the same info I got from another VZW store not long ago who had also been visitied by their Sammy rep. Perhaps the decision was made between the visits.

I hope the Sammy rep was not giving out good information, but the logic would make sense with Sammy having to worry about more than the 6800 having Rev A in hardware and upgradeable as needed. Perhaps someone can get confirmation or denial of this from another source.
