I believe that the i770 will be VZWs version of the Samsung i620

I think that the i770 would most likely resemble the i780 not the i620. Samsung is generally good with keeping -like devices in the same product number.

The i770 could be one of the first phones that can be used on any network in the US and not be sold exclusively for any carrier. Maybe we can be like the rest of the world and pick our phone first then pick a carrier. :-)

This will most likely not be the case -- when VZW picks up a CDMA/GSM handset its only for VZW and its global users (i.e. BB8830, MotoZ6c). ATT or T-Mobile could have their own variant of the i770, but it would be GSM only.

Ya, I highly doubt it either, but it would make sense if it did include U.S. GSM frequencies.

well, they made special mention that not only is it cdma/euro GSM, its also American GSM compatible.. so its truely a whole world phone. Now unlocking is a diff story. It could be the first phone that has come to light to take advantage of that "any app, any device" stance verizon is getting ready to switch to.

I was at a VZ dealer fair yesterday. One of the phones they talked about was the i770. They didnt have pictures, but the samsung rep confirmed it would be of the "blackjack" veriety, with global roaming capabilities.
