and this thing is a monster!!! its freaking huge. its also heavy. without counting the antenna, its the size closed of a 9800. then the antenna makes it bigger. the outside and internal displays are really nice. been throwing it around and its awesome. just put it in a filled sink for about 20 mins and no problems yet. speaker is pretty loud as well. gunny i cant find the digital compass you were talking about tho. any questions feel free to ask.

water risistant, do not submerge in water, hand wash with warm water and soap, dry promptly afterward for best performance. 😛

yeahright

the phone is shown as shock RESISTANT and WATER RESISTANT in all vzw literature I have seen, not waterproof. So I would say vzw will not say the phone is waterproof just to cover their buts. My guess is there is still a water marker somewhere on the inside and if it is triguered then they are not going to cover it.

made a call and it seems to be the same as the 8300. there is a water mark on the inside of the earpeice jack. the phone is water resistant for 30 minutes in 3 feet of water. havent tried to see if it still worked with the phone open.

dont really know why the internet launch was delayed, but full store launch is still the 23rd.
