yeah, the X should just essentially be the Verizon UI, just with touch-functionality. Unfortunately, this probably means it'll make very limited use of the touch ability, and will just be like every other phone, but bigger 👿 (feature wise, minus the keyboard)

meant to ask this earlier, but any idea on price?

Pretty much all the leaked info is over at HoFo, and there was nothing over there about price, sorry.

If we're guessing, I'd expect the 10k to be priced a bit above the V9m.

oh i'm looking at the 8800 - any guesses there?

The original poster (POS_user) has friends with the two phones. They _speculate_ Dec for the 88, and Spring 08 for the X, which upsets me. However, no one really knows, and you'd imagine the phone should be ready soon considering the models are already in a usable form, and people are using them on a daily basis. But honestly, who knows...
