havent seen one yet but seems to be in the same line as the dare or at least thats what LG has hinted at.
I am just basing it off the Dare. FCC in March, release in late June, July. So I assume it will be more like early next year maybe Q1. Wouldn't this seriously compete with the Voyager?

depends on the device and features. it could be a low-end dare, with same form-factor but smaller/less features. like how the env2 and voyager are similar form-factors focused on different price points based on hardware and software features.

I suppose. But it seems awfully like the Glyde if it will be lower-end. I guess we won't know until we see a picture.

Hmmm. Maybe it would be more like the Vu, with MediaFLO and a crappy 2MP camera
I was also thinking 2 MP, but would it have Mobile TV. It wouldn't make too much sense to have a Voyager 2 (more high end) and another touchscreen, slide-out keyboard Mobile TV phone. It is just way too similar. Unless Verizon plans on selling and marketing lower end touchscreen phones, of which there a few (only that Philips Xenium X800 with no EDGE or anything sounds like that).

Ditto. Haven't been able to find any real info with Google either.

Does anyone have any early info on this device? touchscreen? keyboard?
I almost fell out of my chair when i read Dole asking if a phone was coming out.LOL. It's like Verizon's CEO asking us when the next Verizon phone is coming out. Nice BLACKOPS, Dole.
