this phone is 10 dollars cheaper than the cu500 at NO contract price i saw it.
Is that price on a premier site or did you see it at a store? If so, what was the store price? I have made up my mind that this is the phone I am getting to hold me over until some high end 3G phones start appearing, but 500 no contract still seems pretty steep.

That is 3G, not EDGE speeds. It should get the same EDGE speeds as any other device of the same class. I have never seen a device that had significantly different data speeds than others in its EDGE class.

When you log onto the Premier site are you able to get access to all UMTS phones no matter where you live? My wifes company is a member and I can get on tonight and would like to grab a ZX20.

Does anyone know when this phone will hit the stores or the website? I know it is on the premier site, but I have not seen it on the Cinuglar website or in stores.
How is the reception on this phone, in both GSM and 3G modes, compared to the other phones out there with good antennas (Nokia, Motorola)
Still too early to tell, but it seems like it just may be slightly worse than my v635. (Which I think is a pretty good phone in terms of RF.) Coverage is pretty good in my area so it's been a little hard to compare them.
