LG VX-8100
More release date speculation
A rep at a Verizon store told me today that due to trouble with its ability to receive an EVDO signal, the release date for the VX-8100 has been pushed back until December of this year, whereas the E-815 is to be released by the end of this month.
...
That is definitely not good news for those of us (you know who are!) waiting to get this phone the day it comes out. Think about it! There are people out there with phones whose batteries are connected by tape! I was in a store last night and the reps response to my release date question was "Well, we HAVE the 8000!". I want the 8100!!!
...
I don't beleive it, if they had the Evdo working in 8000 and this just added bluetooth. I don't think that is the problem. If they can't even tell us when the phone is coming out, why do you think they would tell you that it is being pushed back.

I hate to say this but the original post might be true. I'm on my second 8000 because the stupid thing would lose the EV signal (when I bought the phone it always picked it up easily). Verizon finally told me to swap it and this 8000 works great (I'm still waiting on the 8100).
It turns out my original had a software issue to the point where the Verizon tech rep couldn't swap out my phone book between the old phone and the new one.
