Phone is coming out in...

You can expect to see this phone within the next 14 days. It's almost a definite guarantee. The rebate slips have arrived at the stores and they are dated for 10-22...and they expire 11-26. Sooooooo...umm ya....and a vice president apparently sent an underground email to someone stating that the phone would DEFINITELY be out within the next two weeks.

Me personally, I'm thinking that it will be out either this Saturday, Sunday, or next Tuesday. Will be able to pinpoint release date a little better once we see whether or not the stores get the shipment of the phones this Friday.

I dont think this phone is coming out anytime soon. If you read some of the forums on Howardforums, it looks like there may be some sort of tiff between LG and Verizon since they put out the Krzr already. Who knows if it's true, hopefully not, I would like to possibly get this phone. I just got the Razr the other day and not real thrilled with it, but I still have over a week left to decide to return it

I saw a picture of it in a display ad at Best Buy yesterday so it must be coming out soon.

No, you saw a picture of the KRZR which is already out. I don't see the 8600 coming out anytime soon since the KRZR resembles it on the front face (even on the MP3 Playback buttons.)

Sorry buddy. I saw the 8600 in the picture it was unmistakable with 8600 right below it. The KRZR was in the same display picture.

I'll back him up here. A guy on HowardForums works for Best Buy and he said they are advertising the 8600.

I know Best Buy likes to street date their phones on Sunday (when the beginning of the new ad opens.) Every single one of my co-workers are excited for this phone plus they're bringing back front-face text reading.

Does anyone know if the front of the 8600 is going to be made from a material similar to the Krzr, a glass like product that will attract many fingerprints / smudges? Or are the photos that have been leaked out accurate? Just curious. Some of the photos I've seen of the overseas version appear to be that glass material.

I think it's gonna be better than the krzr for 2 reasons. 1. Motorola phones suck in general 2. the KRZR does not support buetooth stereo unlike this phone. I have been waiting for a couple of months for this phone to finally come out. It looks like it will be the same price as the chocolate- $129.99 after $50 MIR. Nov 15 christmas comes early for me 😎

Hey bro, if you actually read the other messages then you would know that we all know when it's coming out. Its stated several times that it's coming out on Nov 15. That is the date you cant say. I found out this past tuesday from infomanager

No it isn't. The official launch date is 11/15. If you got it at the store they shouldn't have given you one. That pisses me off cuz I want this phone and have been waiting for awhile. I can't get mine at the store unless I want to pay retail cuz I have to wait for it to be on the employee phone program. Dammit, I'm jealous if ur tellin the truth 👿

I just called my local store and I got the standard "We do not know when it will be released." "It should be the begging of next month".

The store is being stupid. They know when it's coming out. I work for VZW and I know it's definitely coming out on the 15th of this month for $129.99 after $50 rebate on a 2yr contract. This phone is sweet. Just go into your store on that date and they will have it 😎
