So is it 100% official its coming to Verizon? I heard that its not doing very good in other companies like cingular? i just want to know if i shud wait for it or not...

not sure if this has been posted - probably has but if you check out the fcc link on phonescoop for this phone there is a user manual. in that user manual on page 18 it says that one of the buttons is for getting "VCAST" music...

I'm hearing that it may not be out this year.

**fergus** · 11-06-2006, 07:26 AM

Any specific reason? Are they still having that EVDO issue?

Thanks

Like I said, Sprint will have a temporary exclusive... sorry folks. I want it on Verizon to replace my RAZR as much as you do.

**Sumint620** · 11-06-2006, 08:51 PM

well sprint has already confirmed this phone today for them. no word on release date or price but i sure hope that it will be on verizon by april when my contract is renewed.

Well it looks like Sprint is getting it very soon.

Sam, I'm surprised. You're late with that one.

I find it interesting Sprint does not reveal the launch date or pricing. Maybe that's how Sprint does it.

I wonder what shade of grey the VZW L7c will be? I really don't care but I lay odds it'll be grey.

**Hawkmoon** · 11-16-2006, 10:21 AM

internet grumblings point to January release now, which is fine w. me (new every two on 12/26). Pricing I would hope (imagine?) would be similar to the RAZR, but hopefully not up at KRZR levels.

Verizon's pre-production model is a bright silver, with almost blue-ish or purple-is reflection.

U.S. Cellular's pre-production model is black.

Can any testers or hands-on phone gurus tell us... Is this housing the traditional RAZR Moto-metal housing or is this a plastic version?

I think that will make or break the feel of this handset personally. Any ideas?
