C'mon, giving the year old u740 a new color scheme is lame. Beef up the specs on that thing already! Anyways, thanks again for the details Phonearena!

ok, the 740 in general sucks. Then to tyop it off, go ahead and rename it to the Alais. How retarded is that? Samsung phones arent the best quality. Only the LG brand.

The VX8610, which will probably replace the VX8550 Chocolate, those things are not really precise ... in the future, when there is more information, we will see which is the actually successor and so on ...

a question that has been bugging me is whether the glyde is actually a 3g phone? does it have wireless? is it a smartphone? let me know?

the glyde isn't a smartphone, its called a "phone with features" the touchscreen is unresponsive so if your gonna get a touch screen phone get the dare or the voyager

The U940 is NOT a PDA, very similar to voyager except it has a slide out keyboard and it does have HTML browsing. Samsung Doesn't change there phones often, and the U740 is a decent seller. The only reason it didn't sell good in the beginning is because of the champagne color that was only offered. Recent Samsung phones have be awesome phones. No more complaints on signal issues. Good solid phone (which everyone thought the hinges would break), and has been more reliable than my VX9900, and my VX8550. I think I'm going to go back to my samsung, till the U940 comes out. I haven't seen any pictures of the Maroon VX9100, but I saw a huge software list, and noticed the VX9100 on there and then I saw VX9100M sku, and in brackets (Maroon) was there. Which I'm thinking is the same burgundy/red that's currently on the VX8350, and the Chocolate. Since those looked more maroon looks like LG finally isn't color blind anymore and named it appropriately. I'm glad I was able to give Phonearena some tips. I don't always know ahead of time but sometimes I stumble on things :)

Pretty nice line up, but I don't ge tthe point of the ZCx...just get the one w/ the camera. And the 8610 is kinda ugly...not chocolate like. They need another replacement. Their color choices are also boring and dull. They shouldn't have distontinued the champaign color for the u740. Also, the new touch phones will be a nice addition.

decent line up...pretty good. But with the ZCx versus the ZC, I checked and both cost the same, so why would anyone get it without the camera? just a quick point.

The 8560 is the Chocolate Replacement. Chocolates series are music centric phone. The 8610 is not a music phone... just a phone with a built in mono bluetooth

ALso look for the Q9c coming soon as well...its a world edition

for those that were inquiring about the curve coming to Verizon, in the corperate office the ceo's are already using them and it was announced it's on the way. No release date tho. They also hinted towards a blackberry with camera and touch screen exclusive to Verizon. Uber Berry is what we call it over here.

@ #15 The Q9c is the same phone that Sprint has... it's not Global just no Music UI

I dont see the Curve on that list. I hope it is coming soon! What about the BB 9000 I've been hearing about?
