I don't believe the phone is still being tested. I think it will be out in two weeks. Verizon is not stupid. I think the vx6000 is a piece of crap. Its outdated and has no features. Not to mention it looks retarded. I am going to flip out if I have to wait till after christmas for the phone. No doubt it will be worth the wait. I work for Verizon but would choose AT&T over them in a heartbeat. MMODe seems like its gonna take off. They dont make rebates to just throw them away. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out tomorrow.
PEACE

WHATS UP MIKE? I HOPE THE PHONE DOES COME OUT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD..THE VERIZON WIRELESS EMPLOYEE I COMMUNICATED WITH VIA EMAIL STATED THAT SHE SPOKE TO HER PRODUCT ENGINEER OF THE CENTRAL TEXAS MARKET AND HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE, SOMETHING ABOUT "ETA", WHATEVER THAT MEANS AND THEY DONT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM...I ALSO ASKED HER HOW CAN THEY HAVE REBATES ON THE PHONE THAT EXPIRE BY 12/31/03 WITHOUT RELEASING THE PHONE. SHE STATED THAT VERIZON AND EVEN SAMSUNG ANTICIPATED THE RELEASE TO BE AROUND NOW BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY HAS TO BE RESCHEDULED....
...
I know it's the wrong forum, but you guys seem to have good info, soo... đ
Do you know about a release date for the Audiovox 8900 camera phone? I've heard December 12th or 18th, but I can't be sure. i've been waiting a while, and really don't want to get the VX6000.
Thanks a lot!
...
ITS SUPPOSE TO COME OUT ON THE 12TH..
...
have the dummy in MD and it blows. Samsung homie jus wait and be patient...LIKE MEEE!!!!! doh
...
Well... That is good becuase.... I am going to switch over at the beginning of the year and hopefully I will know more about this phone and mabey they will have a better servic plan also..
...
WHATS UP MIKE? WHICH STORE IS THE DUMMY PHONE IN, CAN YOU POST THE ADDRESS? TOWN ETC... AND IS IT A VERIZON DIRECT STORE OR AN AUTHORIZED RETAILER...IF THERE IS A DUMMY PHONE IN THE STORE THIS IS GREAT NEWS BECAUSE THAT MEANS THE PHONE SHOULD BE OUT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.....
...
so when is the a610 coming out and also does anybody know any details about the samsung e700- it looks so phat but samsung.com doesn't give any info- not even who the carrier will be?!?!
...
I just called Verizon and they said that since they havent heard anything about the a610 yet- it will probably come out sometime next year!!! Someone give me better news please âšī¸
...
hey,,, it will come sometime in january
...
I HOPE IT WILL COME IN JANUARY, BUT WHAT MAKES YOU THINK SO??????
...
MD....I am a Verizon rep in a direct store and I guess all I can say is that we aren't being told when the release of the phone is. We HAD mail in rebates for them which got tossed so it's not coming out anytime soon. We don't even have the dummy model yet so I'm guessing that it won't come out until sometime early in 2004 unfortunately, and I'm not sure on the month as well. Those of you who have a 6000, there are software updates for it which you need to go to the store to get it "flash" updated. It actually makes the phone a lot better with the ability to do group distribution in terms of text messages and picture messages... plus a few small other details
...
This phone is already in Verizon's final testing, as I know it's scheduled to be finished late this week. Its best luck is released before Christmas... well, maybe new year...
...
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE PHONE IS IN VERIZON'S FINAL TESTING AND THAT IT SHOULD BE FINISHED LATE THIS WEEK? I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE THAT IS WHY IS WASNT RELEASED IN LATE NOV, EARLY DECEMBER. DO YOU HAVE A RELIABLE SOURCE, IF SO WHEN DO YOU THINK IT WILL COME OUT? THX ALSO, CAN YOU CLARIFY YOUR LAST SENTENCE IN YOUR POSTING.IT READ, ITS BEST LUCK IS RELEASED BEFORE CHRISTMAS, WELL MAYBE NEW YEARS....WHAT DID YOU MEAN??? THX
...
hey guys, do any of you know if this phone comes with an OUTTER DISPLAY????????????????????????????????????? it would really piss me off if it didn't, reply to me pls,
...
The phone has a flash on the outside instead of a dual LCD. The screen rotates around and can be kept flipped so you can see it like an external LCD. The problem is it is prone to damage flipped around like that so insurance is a must with this phone!!!It won't be that ugly feminine blue either it will match the rest in a silver color.
...
I work for a 71 location authorized dealer. I talked to some direct Verizon reps and no one has a clue to when this will come out. I have the rebates and spec sheets. My assumption is they are going to release it after they get rid of all the VX6000's. They didn't have to drop the price like so. I think they are trying to discontinue this model and fall back on the Samsung and Audiovox. They figure they can cut the decision making by limiting the choices to 2 phones through the holidays. Not many Verizon customers are going to pay top dollar for a upscale camera phone. This is my opinion, but I have a good grasp on cellular. 4 years experience. I will keep you all updated, I have some good sources keeping tabs on things.
...
have you heard anything about the motorola v810??
...
I'm not with Verizon, so I don't know exactly when they want to put this phone in the market. But I do know this phone is almost done; it's the in the final final final stage. Samsung is trying to fix the last couple bugs. Hopefully, all of them will be fixed by the end of this week. If not, we should see it next year... Though I really hope to see this phone coming into the market before Christmas.
...
EVEN IF THEY DID FINISH UP THE TESTING THIS WEEK THERE IS NO WAY I THINK THAT THEY WOULD PUT IT OUT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THOUGH I HOPE I'M WRONG.
...
I called Verizon Corporate HQ and they said that the phone will be out the first week of january, but they do not know the price yet. No other phones are scheduled to come out untill late march/april
...
THAT NEWS SOUNDS GOOD, I HOPE IT'S TRUE...BY THE WAY I FOUND OUT WHY THE AUDIOVOX 8900 IS OFF VERIZON'S WEBSITE...I EMAIL THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THIS. The Audiovox 8900 and is experiencing data issues (Mobile Web, Get It Now over 3g, and unable to send/receive PIX Messages) with mismatched MDN/MIN, the issue will not be resolved by exchanging for
another Audiovox 8900 handset. The customer must exchange for a different make/model (the LG VX6000 is recommended for the camera feature). Follow standard return/exchange procedures without
referencing the original order number.
...
oops, sorry ya'll i got the new CDMA utio-cox fon dummy...lol haaa sike???Samsung stalkers!!!!
