LG VX-8700
Color?
It'll be in the store soon if you want to wait until then to feel it hands on. I wasn't expecting this phone so soon after it's intro at CTIA and I'm pretty psyched. The phone will actually match my Jawbone Bluetooth headset, I'll be Johnny BlingTone. 😉
And Verizon doesn't dictate what the manufacturer produces to that extent. They may have some influence on features and direction for requests around Music phone, Video, etc., but not to the level you are describing. I could b!tch to Sears all I want about how I don't like Frigidaire's doors on their freezers, they'll just tell me buddy, it's not made by us.
