Retard...oh sorry Sammo, The reps at Verizon are not allowed to give out information that is not already public. Also many time dates that you find on web sites are not correct, but I guess you believe everything you read on the web. Love Batman yes really Im batman.....god damn moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 6900 and love it...unfortunately the case is showing some hairline cracks!!!. FYI The phone links with outlook thru activesync and is free. The cracking is not a good thing, though.

and i'm not a fanboy or anything but it just seems that the minute vzw comes out with a device there are alot of people already ready to slander it, but when sprint comes out with something, even if it looks crappy..people are all over it. what we kinda fail to realize is that the cdma version of the touch..all cdma carriers have pretty much the same thing..vzw prolly added a couple of things, and i'm pretty sure it will include gps eventually..hopefully at least..i havent played with one yet..but from the videos on youtube..they seem like a great device to try..

I'll be the first to admitt that the weakest area in VZW is the cell phones, but #11 I would take it out on the store reps, often times companys dont like to disclose info about new phones especially when it comes to release dates. Simply cause if a rep tells a customer this and that about an unknow phone and it doesnt pan out the wayi t should. You have now create a possibily bad situation

Thats why I am waiting for Verizon to go Open Network, that way I can pick my own phone(Wi-Fi capable). My new every two is up in January though, which I think is too soon...

as far as verizon goes, they do have an open network,. problem with activating other carriers equipmnt on their network is that no warr is issues, and it takes about a month to go without a phone so they can activate it on their service. it has actually been around for a while now, its just not public common knowledge. Also verizon prides themselves on having the in house techicians, and if you activate other carrier equipment yet have verizon service and something happens you bring it to a store to fix right? and when the techs tell you they cant do anything about it, you get mad. its a catch 22. I just think its rediculas how you people are so quick to expect things without thinking about them at all. Go work for the company for a day, and maybe you'll have just the slightest idea of how it actually works. You cant have your cake and eat it too....

I work for Verizon, and there is no way to activate another carriers phone (such as GSM network phones) on verizons CDMA network. They haven't and won't be opening up the network in such a way. Verizon takes pride in their CDMA technology and wouldn't want to demote it to the GSM network. So for those of you looking forward to getting your Iphone or Sprint Touch, don't plan on being able to have the reliable service that Verizon offers.

Hey....I work for Verizon Wireless in technical support and yes as of January 2008 you are able to activate devies from others carriers to the vzw network the catch is you have to take your device to the store to a technican to ensure that device has been added to the slim list of devices that are able to be activated fro other carriers...I can tell you the iphone is not on the list and more than likely never will being that it is an apple product and the technical support process of the device...

sammo it's their job to not tell you the device is coming out, who cares what an internet board tells you, until that device is on the shelf it can ALWAYS be pushed back. this has happened before with different companies launching devices. peopled called in, reps said "yep it's the XYZ date" that date came...and went, and no device. the fans got pissed, the company said they never intended to launch then. that company was sprint, EVERY company has learned from that experience to play dumb till the day it hits shelves. as to the GPS, there is not ONE GPS enabled windows mobile phone in the Verizon lineup. come to think of it...is there a GPS enabled windows mobile CDMA device in other carrier's lineup? not just the touch...but like...at all? the answer is NO and there is a reason for that, but that is for another day, and when Verizon/sprint announce it...I bet there will be some losers here complaining about it then as well. The beauty of Phone arena is that any idiot with a keyboard can post here...as perfectly shown in a LOT of these kinds of posts.

Its hard enoough to make a call on Sprints network, why would I even try to use GPS. They (Sprint) better hope T-Mobile buys them!

Sprint...you are using sprint as an example. you mean the company hemorrhaging cash like it is no big deal. the company slashing price plans and closing stores because they are not capitalizing on how to make money? Good example. That aside, the Q9c is a windows mobile for smart phones device, and for some time have been able to lock those down. the mogul is not locked down though, and sprint is losing out on potential earning because they are idiots. But absolutely, those are AMAZING examples of bad choices, and why Verizon has not fully unlocked GPS on windows mobile devices. Less you simple minded myopic children remember, this is a business...and they are out there to make money. shocker...I know, especially if you are a sprint backer. And no, I don't work for verizon,I do work for another carrier, but not verizon.

Uhhh, you asked "is there a GPS enabled windows mobile CDMA device in other carrier's lineup?" and you get an answer that Sprint has two...and then you dimiss Sprint as an example? Sprint? The ONLY OTHER major CDMA carrier in the US besides Verizon? Who exactly do you want to use as a US CDMA example then? Alltel? Brilliant argument you got there man, just brilliant. You sure you "work" for a carrier and not just "interning"?
