Loyal Verizon customer here, but sick of waiting for new decent phones to appear at the stores!
How long are the customers going to have to wait for this one?! If Verizon does carry it!!!!
I see phones for other carriers approved about two to four months ago and they are already selling them! e.g. - Samsung MM-A700
I want a decent affordable Moto at this darn company!!!!

Its a fact the v265 is in testing at Verizon. This phone should be out before the end of the year. In fact, I will wager this phone is out in October.

The v810 -- the phone I really wanted -- is all but dead in terms of Verizon carrying it. Some have said its because the v810 failed gps testing but that's a bunch of bull since it passed gps testing with US Cellular. Its most likely a marketing decision at this point as to why Verizon is no longer interested in the v810. So what do we get in its place? The v265, which is appears to be a decent mid-tier phone, but its no v810!

I'm loyal to Verizon and Motorola too, but VZW has a lousy selection of Moto phones...what with the PTT v60 phones and the v710 (over-hyped), which ain't ready for...

The v810 was also the phone I was waiting for! In testing for over a year, give me a break. It is obvious Verizon does not really care what the savvy phone consumer is looking for..... I am a very loyal Moto user and will stick with Verizon because of the great network coverage, but they really need to get their heads out of their butts and start bringing in decent Moto phones....
Hopefully they will carry the v265 because my v60i is getting up there and I can only find replacement covers in red now....eeeewwwww
Just want an updated Moto phone that is decently priced, and if the v810 is not coming out, then the v265 is a great alternative!

1. How do you know it's a "fact?"

2. Any reason to believe this will be less buggy than
the v710? Motos record ain't good on this!

3. Any news on the v260?

1. I was told by several testers of the phone who work for Verizon. Each of them is done with the testing, which does not mean there won't be more testing but that current firmware's testing was done. Does this mean Verizon will, in fact, carry it? No, just look at the v810. But its likely Verizon will carry it since its no longer interested in the v810. So, its a fact Verizon has this phone in testing. When it comes out, you owe me a beer.

2. Less buggy? I have no idea. Probably not as buggy because it has a limited feature set compared to the v710. In fact, it will probably be a decent phone from the get-go.

3. I have no news on the v260.
