UPDATE: Our internal sources say that the U940 will be Verizon's version of the F700 GSM phone. Like it will have side-sliding QWERTY keyboard and touch sensitive display ..

There, I said it, you're an idiot wolf. I would tell you to read the JD Powers and Associates to see who they rated #1 for the fewest dropped calls and nation wide coverage (verizon) but you would reply with some stupid shananigans about how jd is just another fortune 500 company that was bought out by verizon wireless to say that we are the best. But hey, I guess the fact that we have the least consumer cancellation percentage, least dropped calls and the most broadband coverage nationwide doesnt mean anything.

Ok, you know, I am absolutely tired of all these other morons in cell phone land who have AT&T which, by the way, stands for All Trash and Terrible who are bitching and moaning about how Verizon's technology and phones are so behind. Now granted, that might be true, but let me put an end to all the B.S that AT&T people are taking lately. I, work on an island, where literally, no AT&T, Sprint/Nextel, T-Mobile, Helio and whatever rinky dink company there is out there doesn't pick up any signal. They ONLY and I mean, ONLY service provider that works is Verizon with 2 bars wherever I go in the park. So while all my co-workers who have all that iphone crap, HTC Tilt this, and latest AT&T phone that, are wishing they can use their phones, I am actually using my phone. So add that up, AT&T. If your service is so great how come it doesn't work where I am at? Now as far as the Samsung U940 is concerned, I am torn between what phone I want now. It's between the Samsung, U940, the LG Voyager, and the HTC 6800. What is a man to do? All I know is that Verizon is rising and all the others can rest in peace. TESTIFY!

@ Sammo or Bolo. I am between the Samsung U940 and the Voyager. I really don't like the HTC 6800, I had a chance to play with it, it's blue, cheap feel, the sliding isn't very sturdy or smooth, very slow UI. I like the Voyager because of the TV feature, not sure if U940 has it, I like the U940 for the full touchscreen on the front. I guess we'll wait and see, good luck.

Hey 8lias, I completely agree with you. I was thinking about getting the Voyager. Thanks for the news about the 6800. Honestly, I am comtemplating on the Voyager more so. I have the LG VX9800 and I wanna chuck this thing in the Hudson River so bad. I haven't had a phone in nearly 2 and a half years. It's about time. Good luck on your search also.

I Have Been Waiting For The F700 And Have Been Following This Phone For Many Months Now.I Was Constantly Hoping that it would go on my network which is Verizon then a few days ago i saw this i was amazed but then i saw it's pretty much a dummed down version of the f700 only a 2mp camera and if i recall the f700"s is 5MP and if it's going to ve released on Verizon i'm sure that they're going to put their plain UI that's in all of their other phones and i'm just not sure if i'd even want that phone now.

Being a VZW customer myself, I truly do enjoy the service. Althought when Sprint was introduced in my Area in 1998 I had them for quite a while. Service was great in teh beginning but was horrible after about 5 years. Once I got VZW though I have to say the performance FAR exceeded waht I would up with at Sprint. VZW does take their sweet time introducing things to the market but I say quality vz. quantity! (Although for sprint, My Sanyo will ALWAYS be TOPS!!!!!) I've played with the Voyager up close and personal before consumer release and I have to admit is is nice. Hell, it't the first CDMA of its kind (offering such new services as MobileTV). But I prefer to wait for the 2nd iteration. I havea Samsung now and I know they will deliver an even better touchscren variant for Big Red. This U940 proves that. Funny though, I am seeing it as having (2) different keyboard setups. Wonder which will come to the states. Becase that LG with the spacebar on the bottom right of the keypad was the deal-breaker on the Voyager to me!

I don't know why you guys and/or girls think Verizon sucks. It has kick ass phones and great coverage. I live near Bradbury (in cali, near duarte) and i live almost at the top and i have to say i could call and text people and it always goes through. And face it Verizon has way better phones then any other company. It has the Voyager, Venus, and now the U940. AT&T has iPhone and blackjack which is the same thing as the Moto Q but crappier. T-Mobile has Sidekick. Face the facts you only think Verizon sucks b/c of the hype of the iPhone or blackjack or sidekick. Whichever way you look at it Verizon rocks.

Hey Quick question for you all, first a few comments; Seems like verizon has a really hard time providing WiFi capabilities on their phones, even many of their smart phones lack the feature, business is business, understood. I currently own the i760, I've been having issues with bluetooth, UI freeze, battery power consumption, and error messages. All did on this phone is add music files, that's all, and it has been going buck wild on me. All and all it's a great phone, but I would much rather have this one, because of the size of the touch screen, but the only feature I really want is Wifi for this phone to be a perfect buy. Does anyone have any information on this, or the release date, I would greatly appreciate it. Tx

Verizon is the best provider around, but I wouldn't go with a Samsung, I had one previously, and I had to go back three times to replace it, luckily, Verizon decided to give me my upgrade three months early, and let me get a newer phone. In which I chose the voyager. LG is a much better manufacter then Samsung.

the best network... and I am a verizon customer, but they piss me off with disabling features for the sake of gouging my pockets. Why should I have to pay for VZW Nav when my BB 8830 has GPS and BB maps preloaded. Every other network gets to use what was marketed to them but Vzw customers. I'm sure that even with this phone which is hot!, they;ll dumb it down by making us get stupid Vcast to get songs... its a love hate relationship!
