Logic of a release date.....

Ok so i may not be an employee of verizon but i think i know about some marketing logic maybe.... Lets look at release of Lg's 3 hottest and tech advanced phones the 7000, 8000, and soon to be 8100. The 7000 was released in the heart of the summer. It was the best phone you could get for verizon, (until that damned moto came out), That was on July first right before a big holiday when people want to spend money. The 8000 i feel was a rushed phone, as by the MP3 buttons being there, but no MP3. The 8000 was out there so LG could get their share of the new market of EV-DO for verizon. This phone wasnt anything special or diff from the 7000 except better camera and speaker phone as well as EVDO. So i feel this 8100 will be released hopefully in...

It makes no sense to even try and speculate.

The phone will come out when it comes out, the only "logic" is when VZW decides it is ready and testing is complete.

While the marketing suits might want to rush the release based on demand, I think VZW learned their lesson in the past, and the tech people will decide when the phone is ready to be released, and we'll just have to wait until then.

Agreed.....to a point. There is some logic to releasing, but Verizon RARELY launches something before it's really ready. They may sit on a model for a month or two just to have it in their arsenal for a holiday, but I don't think they will rush it out. I agree with you when you say that they will release it when the testing is complete. They did learn their lesson, not like other carriers. I used to sell both Cingular and T-Mobile and I can't tell you how many piece of $h!t phones they released because they did half-assed testing. I'm so glad that Verizon only has the occasional garbage phone, not an every day occurance like T-Mobile and Cingy!
