Samsung I760

Talked to a friend that works at a Verizon Wireless store, he said the XV6800 is coming out the 18th and forget about the i760 dropping this month.

what about the HTC libra (xv5800)?

I asked the VZW corporate store here in Fairfax, VA if the i760 was coming out soon and he said "is that a cool new Nextel phone?"

Is that the Tysons store? That's right down the road from my office (.6 miles, to be exact).

"Cool new Nextel phone" is oxymoronic.

And now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Actually, there is (or was) a Motorola i760 for Sprint/Nextel. Not a pda phone.

No, it was in the Fair Oaks Mall... the "Verizon Experience," which is a combined landline/wireless corp store... and full of reps that have absolutely no damn clue... I watched a rep talking to a customer about his data plan, and she had to pull out the book to see what the 900 minute plan was....

Isn't it a possibility that these new phones are on hold because of the Broadcom patent suit against Qualcomm? It is my understanding that a company can not import any NEW phone with the Qualcomm chip. Verizon can continue selling its current offering because they are not new. I saw that Broadcom offered to end the suit if Qualcomm pays $6.00 per phone, which Qualcomm rejected. I don’t think we will see these new phones any time soon.

No, that argument was settled long ago. These phones have already been imported and going through testing long before the judgement was handed down.

Uhh, no they have not settled ANYTHING!!!!
Unless the phone Was imported before the Ban date (June ??), than it is not coming out anytime soon.

[Geckotek]

I didn't say the ban was settled. The debate on whether or not the i760 was affected was settled.

As I said earlier, the phone was imported long before the ban date and was in the labs being tested.

Good Evening (or morning for my East Coast HoFo buddies),

Anyway, enough w/the greetings & salutations - I went in to Circuit City earlier today to purchase a Chocolate (I was just fed up w/waiting on the I760 - I know there's no comparison but I want a new phone, and at this point anything will do), but I digress.

I told the Rep that I was just sick of waiting on the phone I really want, he asked which one is that, and I told him the I760, and I kid you not - he lit up like a Christmas Tree. He stated that if the I760 is what I want, I should wait because it'll be out "very shortly". I asked him to elaborate and he said that a Rep had come in w/the actual device to train them - I'm sorry everybody, he was extremely vague w/ any info on a release date, but said that I definitely did not want to buy the Chocolate and to just hold out a bit longer. He also said the I760 is a great device and that he loved it too.

Additionally, I inquired about the price for the I760, he indicated $299/2yr! Now as I do in each my posts, and at the risk of sounding redundant I'll say as I always do: Unfortunately I can't vouch for the validity and/or credibility of what was told to me, but I do try to share any new information on this device that I receive; perhaps others of you in the community can determine whether it has the ring of truth or not.

Finally, because of his ambiguity on the acutual release date, I still wanted to get the Chocolate (obviously becaused I've heard this "soon" stuff before) and the Rep all but refused to sell it to me because he insisted that I wait for the I760 and that I wouldn't be waiting much longer - Let's all hope that this info provided on 07/07/07 is accurate!

Peace
