We can only hope

PS-

I'm also aware that LG issued a press release 3 days after the RCR News article saying January. So apparently they are getting more confident in their ability to release sometime in January. Still I agree with their original line-of-thought, which was to be conservative so that ppl don't cry about it if the phones are a little late.

I little late? This phone has been approved for over a year. Give me a break. Verizon sure is slow.

Verizon isn't slow, find a company that employs US CDMA and BREW based services as well as deploying EV-DO, not like I give a damn, but still find one that does it faster and mroe efficient than Verizon and i'll be inclined to believe you. If you ever check the FCC database there are very few phones that eventually make it to verizon before a year from that approval date. These type things do take time especially when deploying new services that you want to make sure work. Weigh the outcomes, people gripe and complain about a phone release that Verizon never set in concrete or have them gripe and ...

"Mmm... no, "by February" means simply, "as late as February, but hopefully sooner.""

mm mm..no, "by Febuary" means simply, not later than Febuary, as defined by webster, implying January. So we will see the vx-8000 this month. Can't wait

Actually "not later than February" simply means, "not later than February." 😁

Hope you do see the 8k this month... but don't get mad if you have to wait 'till Feb. 1.

Ohh I won't be mad because we will see the vx-8000 in January. As you heard from the 1000 test subjects, they're are already video clips and games available for phones on the ev-do network. This enhanced media service will be replacing the already existant service. We will get our phones in January and an enhanced media service Febuary 1st.

Aaaaand... its sure starting to look like Feb. 1st really is the release date.

I love it when ppl just won't listen. 🙂

wow, you were right!! But I just can't belive you waited three weeks for me to post another thread to show me so. It must have felt good to see my thread so finally you can rub it in my face. well your wait has come to an end, time to discover a new hobbie. Good Luck 😉

Yeah I know, thanks. But why the 'wow'? I'm often right. 😁

Far as the rest goes... nope, sorry, didn't wait for you to post- I hit this forum only once in awhile and yesterday happened to be the day. In fact I haven't read anything of yours 'cept for the posts where you try to tell me what Webster's dictionary really implies by "by February". I think you may want to consider a new dictionary. 😉

n e ways, my original post was simply to keep ppl from being overly hopeful and then annoyed if the phone didn't show up in January, which I was pretty sure it wouldn't. But the 8K is (finally) almost here, so it's all good. Enjoy.
