The samsung i760 and 6800 are both ancient by now -- and they haven't even been released! Unfortunately, we're stuck since Verizon doesn't believe in bringing new tech to market -- just check out the cool phones on the htc release! Verizon won't see those babies for a couple years I bet.

all i see on these sights complaining that Verizon waits to long to bring new stuff to the market. its funny cuz i usually hear people complain when a phone first comes out how bad it sucks, and all the problems they have. most of the time when another cell provider beats them to the punch or if a phone seems to take forever to come out is..... testing. lots and lots of testing. yeah you may wait longer for a phone to come out, but you can be pretty sure its going to be good quality becuase they make sure they acctually work before they sell them. thats the mistake Cinuglar(AT&T) made when they first introduced the RZR. it sucked, they were junk, becuase they had to be first. I dont Verizon cares about being first, just quality. so stop complaining, and get a life instead of sitting at home searching the internet looking for something to gripe over.

I can't believe how much hate has been cast down from so many people in regards to these phones. These phones are cool and they will sell. Who cares if they are not like the Iphone? I personally would like something different. yeah the Iphone is a great phone and I will admit that, and I like apple products, but enough already. It's time for other carriers to step up to the game. And Verizon has done that...where is Sprint/Nextel and T-Mobile at? At least someone stepped up to the plate to challenge Apple first...Gosh, give me a break people. Competition is healthy. By the way, not everyone wants a PDA/WM phone, so these phones are great alternatives for people like me.

It is true that Verizon does extensive testing when they release a product. VZW #1

From what I've read, so long as the device actually passes testing it would be the 2nd half of October 2007 for the i760 release. "rumors" of course

I personally think that the Venus is going to be the phone for me as soon as it comes out. I admit that the Voyager is cool with the touch screen and everything, but the phone looks too wide. And I'm not a big fan on enVs.

Wow..I truly cannot believe all the anger and frustration people gather over these devices. Sometimes I wonder if people do this with new car models..hmm..(NO THEY DONT)..it seems that we in this wireless driven society are ourselves to blame just like some of these carriers. People are demanding so much of these devices and they are not meant to be your life partner, they are just meant to make things easier. We are all just gettin' a lil too dependent on this stuff and look at this we are slaming on a really nice phone that I'm sure ALOT of people will like. Trust me this phone will sell like hot cakes. The Iphone is a great and so is the Voyager. Now for those who maybe were scared to get an iPhone they have choices and I'm sure Sprint and T-Mob will have their own devices soon too. We should really be glad that finally our wireless technological movement is getting a kick. The iPhone may have started it, but we'll see who finishes it. This phone is awesome and it has it's good and bad like any man made product. Jeez..people get a grip..it's really not that serious.and for the people who are tired of waiting for the 6800 and/or i760 then you are free to gripe cuz I feel your pain. But that whole UI, and crippled nonsense has to stop. Trust and believe Verizon has been raking in dough for a couple years now and guess what?? No merger of AT&Cingluar or CingulAT&T has changed the face of wireless is Verizon. Point and period. The iPhoners are just mad cuz Verizon got a phone that accents on the very things you guys don't got. But don't be worried. Jobs will create another iPhone and Verizon will upgrade their Voyager and the world will keep on movin.

The hatred is spurred by the monopoly these carriers have on consumer choice. They pick the phones we can have, we they are released, how we use them, what features they want us to have, etc. That being said, I hate it. The Europeans have it right I think judging by the fact that nearly 99.9% of new phones are released there first. They have a free market system where you buy the phone you want and use it with whatever carrier will support the technology. End result -- consumer is happy and no complaints.

Verizon is actually suiing the FCC because the FCC wants to open the 700mzh band to greater consumer choice. Basically, picking up a device and using it with alternative carriers without the carriers being able to cripple the devices beforehand. Verizon calls the idea "unconstitutional" Since when do the corporations own the airwaves? Verizon is the worst of the lot when it comes to limiting consumer choice.
