THOUGH will this effect the price of the phone like it did the v9m? Where the better the materials the higher in price the phone was?

I think they learned there lesson on the v9m so I doubt it but you never know.

Speaking for myself tho I'd be more then happy to pay a few extra bucks just like I did for the v9m just so it is metal versus plastic.

I'm more interested in the final product. Photos being leaked are most likely not what the product will look like. But I guess it is nice to see the prototypes.

I don't...YMMV.

Why would it not be a good idea? People want to see them.... And what do you mean My mileage may vary?

That people want to see them is self evident but immaterial.

I don't know about your friends, but mine we're told not to post such pics.

I like my friends and want to keep them...

I agree. I haven't seen a phone built like the v9m in a long time. After having it you can really see/feel just how cheaply other phones are made.

I just wish the USB cover was better. I wonder if that is a problem with motos. Seeing as my v9ms was about to come off and the one on my Krave is really loose.

I think they are talking about your buddy who gave you the photos. I think it's fine. As long as you smear out any number that can be traced back to the holder and you have the ok from your bud.

Wnrussle was going to post them the last I talked to him but it was hard since he was on the road and hard for him to do it, he asked if I would and I said I was on the road also.... Maybe we are not ALL understanding each other.... I'll wait for Wnrussle to call me before I post any Photos, I could of misunderstood him or him me....

I did a google search earlier and he's all over the interwebs with that name. Seems like a buddy of the guy that originally posted that pic. It's also the subtitle under your name, so it could be..... YOU!
