Motorola V710

9900 is in the stores, the demo right now at least, that means that 3 weeks at most. The V710 just finished the testing, they haven't even finished making the demo. It will not be in stores until early-mid May

Verizon Wireless does not create competition within its own brand by releasing more than one phone at a time. VZW provides a wireless telecommunications service that is useless without a mobile phone. VZW does not manufacture the phones you need in order to consume its service.

Thank you so much for clearing this up.

This makes a lot of sense. In my opinion VZW would want to release as many phones as possible, regardless of how many in a certain period of time. The more phones they have, and the better phones they have, the more people will go to Verizon and pay for their service. They don't care if more people buy a Motorola over an Audiovox, as it doesn't effect them.

Also, Verizon is generally known for not having the best phones, the better the phones they have the more they change that image.

God I can't wait for this phone! There's going to be a mad rush to buy this phone once it's released.

Yes, I agree. Verizon's reputation (at least in Boston) is great service but poor phones. Which to me doesn't make sense as it seems it would be easier to get thes phones and harder to get the service.

I think over the summer VZW will be a good company to invest in.
