Does anyone know when Verizon Wireless is getting the Kyocera SE47/V5 Slider??? The phone scoop info shows the phone as being tentative. No one at my local Verizon store knows anything about it.

Thanks,

If your waiting for a slider phone from verizon, your in for a long wait! Seriously they cant even catch up to the technology of their competitors, how in the hell would they be able to surpass them when it comes to handsets!!!! It is bitter sweet w/ verizon, you get great service but you have to suffer w/ the behind the times handsets.

Hell i wouldnt even be surprised if they tried to reintroduce the mobile phone's that you had to carry a battery pack on you and that were soooo big they looked like a shoebox!

Woah, harsh!!!

One thing I have learned is Verizon does test the phones for a loooong time before they are released. That's why they only have 2 camera phones..... both not very old. I have heard that they do this to reduce the number of defective crappy phone returns. For example sprint had 10000's of the camera phones returned when they 1st released their camera phone (junk!)

I don't mind waiting, as long as it is a good phone and it will not need numerous software upgrades to fix minor overlooked problems due to not fully testing the phone before release.

Has anyone else heard when (or if) VZW will be getting this?

No we have no idea. None of the employees do.. this has been asked so many times it is ridiculous.. Verizon Employees do not get any relase date information on new phone untill at least 1 week prior to the release.. And I have already stated numerous time, That Since I am frequently on this site, I will post a message when I get the info...

Verizon is having a Kick Off Quarterly meeting on 01/20 that I will be attending.. Some of the phone Vendors usually show up showing off up and coming phones.. If the Kyocera rep shows up again I will try to find out more information..

I have found out however there is a BLUE Slider coming out, For who I don't know, maybe Verizon. I saw this on the FCC website. Phonescoop has an FCC link to the Gre...
