WOW. I can't believe Bigger and Better has personally attacked my spelling. I guess now I am going to have to carefully check what I post. I used "sowy" in a baby way to butter up those who want the Prada name in this new LG phone. I appologize for being nice.... Now for the answer to #23's question; the Touch should be coming by the end of this month as per HTC's internal information.... P.s. Bigger and Better, I only had one word misspelled, on the other hand you had three. Thank you very much illerate person.

OK, i'm confused. Dom you're saying the 9700 is like the Env but slimmer and with bigger external and internal screens? I thought the 9700 was like the Prada and has no internal screen or qwerty?

The 9700 is like the prada and the qwerty keyboard can be changed on the touchscreen to normal.

i've head news of a slimmer enV coming but have done further research that it may be the lg vx9100, so indeed the 9700 may be a viewty variant, we're all stumped by rumors and speculations, also and update chocolate is coming with a detachable bluetooth on the back. Also not to mention the best pic of the Glyde i've seen so far is right here. http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/03/12/verizons-samsung-glyde-gets-even-clearer/ I'm currently a voyager and don't mind it's larger size because of my larger hands. i think it's a great phone and does everthing the ways it should. i'm curious to see how and if the 9700 can improve on this and also the Glyde.

verizon is pretty gay but sometimes they do come out with good phones ... but the voyager was never really intended for competing wth the iphone it was jsut another phone which was created for the people who like spending alot of money for the latest stuff but in actuality they jus created it to stall for the real thing

So maybe the real thing is the 9700.

Hey there again, i know i might have stired some confusion. Sorry about that, but the good news is that i did mess up the 9100 (enV2) with the 9700. So my appolgies to you and here is a link to the 9100 photo shoot. For anyone curious and who loves the candybar/clamshell form factor. http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/lg-env2-motorola-w755-in-glorious-detail/699029/ I don't know about anyone else but i'm not digging the non-5-way directional pad. Well that's all fow now.

I really doubt that the 9700 will come out in April. Some state that most phones that hit FCC take 3+ months to come to market. This will be more of a June 08 phone. The speculation has gone crazy here. There hasnt been any leaked pics yet, there hasn't been any official pics yet like we see with the 9100, and there hasn't been a rep that says they see it in their screens that give a release date.

the glyde will be cheaper than the voyager. it doesnt have the extra TV functionality. Im guessin probably like 20-30 cheaper, 50 at most. The "prada" like phone, depending on the type of touch screeen it uses (voyager like, or iphone like) could be like 50 cheaper up to the same price. pay a premium for the thinness.

@ 53 - I have to agree. If this phone makes it out before June I will be totally shocked! I am guessing for a JUN - AUG launch
