I think everyone should be careful what the read in this forum about new phones. Just look at past threads about new phone rumors and look how many came true. Do some research for your self, cross reference information, etc. Who knows what generation these rumors are by the time they get to this forum, not to mention people wanting to act like professionals and whatnot. In any case thats my two cents.
Now for something thats not a rumor:
Metro is currently testing a samsung slider in my area which i believe to be the u420 (which coincidentally is currently available from alltel). I was playing with the phone myself for a little bit and it was so so and probably wont be as cheap as it should be - considering its price-point compared to...

It'd be nice to see some PDA phones running Windows Mobile 6.0 for those of us that use the phone as a business tool. I did notice there is no "data" plan or anything like that listed on the website so I am assuming that that is the reason for not offering an PDA type phones.

THE KYOCERA K312 IS OUT ALREADY IT CAME OUT YESTERDAY.

Yes i know, the k312 has been available for over a week in my area. I wasn't talking about that phone anywhere in my post. Its not a great phone anyhow, sam 870 is better for $10 more in my opinion (more memory, better screens, cant say much about the camera).

I'd love to see a new nokia slider, i miss the 6265i so... i'd even tolerate a RIZR, even tho i hate moto, i'm prolly gonna be forced to by a Slvr tell they come out with a better phone, i love to see some Sony ericsson models, and of course, a decent all-in-one PDA like the Blackjack, or UT-6700, that would be great, honestly, i want a good PDA, that can play MP3's(with stereo bluetooth of course) and have a 2mp camera, if they sold that, even if it were 500+ i'd buy it.

Yea. A nokia slider with full keyboard, at least QVGA screen, card slot, 2mp cam, huge battery, bluetooth.. maybe series 60, fm transmitter, heck throw in wifi... i would be fine even if it was a little brickish. Thats pretty much it. But on a side note i don't foresee them bringing out a smart phone (at least proper one with windows mobile or symbian) anytime soon due to complications and testing and what not. But who knows.
