Motorola Unveils New CDMA Clams
Ugh. Why do they lie to us?!?
To be released in Q4 2004 my ass... It'll be middle of next year, I bet.
Sure, they make a few demo units and show them at times but it must be only to collect feedback from carriers and end users.
They can announce all they want, but if they announce, they must deliver!

It's great that Motorola is coming up with all these great new phones. But it is frustrating that they are announcing all these before we have seen the ones announced 6 months ago, like the V710.
Well... the V710 doesn't really compare to these new phones. The V710 is very high-end, while these are decidedly entry-level. It's normal for a company to announce phones on a staggered schedule at various price points.
But, ultimately you are right. The phone to compare it to, though, is the E310. That is the entry-level CDMA clamshell that Motorola announced well over a year ago, that we still haven't seen yet... 🙄

Guys the e310 is out. It has been out for months in latin america ...
I know, I was referring to the US.
... and just launched with Cricket in the US yesterday. 🙄
Really? Huh, well I stand corrected then. Thanks for the info!
Still, it sure took them long enough. And the V810 still isn't out in the U.S. - that was announced at the same time as the E310.

😁 What kind of cheese would you guys like to go with all of your whine? 😲 Sounds like a bunch of kindergarten kids. I suggest that you check out Motorola's web site for Korea (CDMA country) and see what IS working and you will see these and others coming to the US also. BTW how about the other manuf sending some of the cool phones they sell in Europe but not here! Are we (the US) not good enough? There now pass ME the cheese!
This seems to lend credibility to the rumor that the Europeans are way ahead of us.
Reality is that the entire European market with a small percentage using UMTS uses GSM. This gives manufacturers the ability to use economy of scale. Only a relatively few US carrie...
