they don't even know the name for sure yet... this is a rendering of what these people thought it **WOULD** look like... notice how there's NOTHING ELSE on the screen? Why would they put ONLY a bar on the screen when it's open?

And it's a signal/battery bar... you're going to drop vzw because you don't like the battery bar?!

verizon has come out with some attractive devices that are straying away from their rather boring and monopolistic UI, or are at least adding options to it for customization... and if you're THAT 1337, maybe you should just stop whining and get a smartphone... like I did.. then you can do whatever you want with it.
---------------------------------------------

and to be more on topic, this phone looks awesome.. I guess it'll just come down to the features that verizon decides to include and if that 2mp camera (shame it's not the 3mp on the f700 it's based on) is actually autofocus and whether or not it's too thick. the voyager got me excited.. now TWO awesome touch screen phones with a qwerty and at least semi-decent camera? /falls over]]>Oct 31st 2007 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Oct 31st 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Oct 31st 2007 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/

That's a sammy internal name, just like all of the sprint phones (only sprint doesn't come out with a snappy name to cover it up).]]>Oct 31st 2007 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/
SCH for CDMA, SGH for GSM then a dash, then the model of the phone.

And Samsung _does_ name their phones, eg. the SCH-i760 is called the Robin.]]>Nov 1st 2007 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Oct 31st 2007 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/
And the iPhone hardly has the best web browsing, not like you can use it on EDGE. Check out Mobile Opera and Picasa.

Wait, am I confusing Picasa for something else? It's that browser that starts with a P that everyone likes.]]>Nov 1st 2007 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Nov 1st 2007 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Nov 1st 2007 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/
enough with the questions...anyways hopefully it will lower the price if they do go with 2mp and all. and hopefully they send a gsm one stateside too.]]>Nov 1st 2007 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/
Its called Picsel Browser and i have it on my ppc6700 sprint.

and that's just you. I've used an iphone and I've owned a SideKick II, "V", XV6700, and (what I currently own) a treo 700w... I have to tell you, MY opinion is that the iphone keyboard (or lack-there-of) is total crap. The treo is good for me (small hands) and the "V" was too spaced out, the 6700 had an AWESOME keyboard, but that phone was plagued with problems (too-quiet earpiece, sluggish). The sidekicks are some of the best keyboards I've ever used...

but this one looks awesome. at least it doesn't have those BS space bars on the sides... if it says "QWERTY" it should BE a qwerty keyboard... space bar in the middle. not to mention punctuation where it belongs, not hidden behinds several taps on a fingerprint-loving screen.... ;) ]]>Nov 1st 2007 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/
See here's the thing. I'd like to respond to respond to your message I really would. But you lost all credibility of knowing anything about cell phones after the first sentence ("...a non-crap (i.e. GSM att) phone").

Here's the other thing, how long have you used the iPhone's keyboard for? I guarantee you it was less than 2 or 3 days total.]]>Nov 1st 2007 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/
Less than 2 or 3 days? If it doesn't feel right within the first hour then the phone is flawed. Be gone iphone fanboy!]]>Nov 1st 2007 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Nov 1st 2007 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Nov 5th 2007 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/31/samsungs-f700-to-arrive-on-verizon-as-sch-u940/Nov 23rd 2007 2:23PM
