Motorola V-600 info

OK cell phone guys when is this phone hitting the market. I want to get a Samsung S307 but if this phone will be here soon I will wait. I use Cingular and they recently switched to GSM and I want to make the move myself

Thanks

Motorola is slow.
Verizon is slow.

Motorla + Verizon is very slow. Why? It's not easy to create and certify a CDMA handset. And Motorola does not have a lot of experience creating and certifying a CDMA handset.

Motorola has delayed phones so many times, and they get fined by not meeting deadlines...720 had alot of bugs because they rushed it cause they kept getting fined!!

Don't even worry about it, I doubt before christmas. Plus it's going to be buggy at first.

Ken, I don't think the V600 is coming out for CDMA, although I may be wrong, none of us really know.

Yeah those are auctions that just send you to a matrix scheme.

He ended the auction early to sell to the highest bidder btw.
