Samsung I760

[dirty tony]

pwned!! (unless me meant voip and data)

I know this is a CDMA device, but I am thinking about jumping ship from vzw for the kaiser. I am eligible for the NE2 but if Kaiser is that much sicker of a phone then I'll just buy it unlocked online and use it on ATT. Thoughts? I haven't really seen these two phones stacked up against each other yet.

Yea, wonder why the Samsung aint Rev A.

Can't wait to see more detail on the Treo 800w ...damn Qualcomm law suit, making life sucks for us waiting for those EVDO Rev A devices

Yeah it would be nice, but it's always possible that the i760 will be upgradeable to Rev A later on down the road.

Are you talking about a firmware upgrade, or a hardware upgrade? Is it even possible to go from Rev 0 to Rev A via a software change?

Thanks.

[Geckotek]

From what we know, it would require a hardware upgrade....so this is doubtful.

However, I don't think this is sent in stone since we haven't seen the FCC internal photos to see exactly which chipset is used.

But IIRC, reliable sources have said it's NOT upgradeable.

Thanks.

My understanding is that they would have to be built to be Rev A compatible, and then require a firmware upgrade later on down the road. Not sure if that's the case here, but it would be nice to at least know it could be Rev A later on.

the 8830 blackberry will be upgradable to rev a in the fall

[Geckotek]

the 8830 blackberry will be upgradable to rev a in the fall

Any why is that pertinent to this conversation? One has nothing to do with the other.

[flacopower]

because you guys are talking about upgrading to rev a.. the only device currently capable of it is the blackberry 8830. thanks for being a douche though!!

[Geckotek]

That still has no bearing on the topic of the i760. Neither does your childishly calling me a douche.

Back on topic...

If this phone doesn't release by the end of August under $180 with a combo of NE2, Advance Device Credit, and rebate?, or they release something that catches my eye, bye bye 10 yrs. with VZW...

[absolutic]

under $180? I think not. More like $299 if we are lucky, $399 probably. XV6800 even more

[ChrisRichey]

Flaco was just (I think) saying that the i760 may be upgradeable to Rev A in the future, just like the 8830 which is currently Rev 0.

Well they have moved it up a notch.
It appeared before and still does at

Well I'm glad that Engadget got it before VZW found out that HoFo people found it....

Engadget still has the picture but the vzw link is dead.

[absolutic]

the way vzw removed it, .... it's like they are toying with us. not cool at all.
