Verizon Imagio Pic/Specs - NEW PICS

[the7thson]

Yeah I want this so bad too.. The TP2 is a monster of a brick and I don't need that massive keyboard. The Hero is awesome, but doesn't run all my apps like WinMo does. Please please Sprint, release this soon..

I set this up btw in case anyone wants to compare sizes:

That's awesome!

But they mentioned in the video that the imagio uses Flo TV instead of EVDO to get television... and from looking on Verizon's site, coverage is extremely limited. But does this mean that there's yet another radio in the thing?

Not that I'm going to pay for the service anyway, but it makes me wonder if it could be repurposed for anything else...

No there's no extra radio! It's using flo's service instead of verizon's Vcast, but it still goes Verizon's EVDO data network.

I think he was more interested in the coverage rather than it running EVDO. it does use mediaFlo tech so yeah its not available everywhere i.e. (Upstate South Carolina) for instance but its still great to have if your in the areas that do have it. The only thing I worry about is this phones kickstand...im sry but I see alot of people breaking this like the broke the old style thin antennas on phones and naturally wasn't covered under warranty for it. Other than that great phone virtually the touch pro 2 without a keyboard and bigger camera...with the inclusion of 6.5 on launch it gives hope to the touch pro 2's receiving there updates much sooner then later(only time will tell though).

From the video:

Of course, the big deal about the Imagio compared to all of the other phones that we make is that it's got mediaflo flo tv, which verizon brands as vcast mobile tv. We put a little kickstand on the back, so if you point this out, this actually doubles as an antenna...

When asked if it uses wifi:

no no no, this uses the flo network... so that's separate, and we've been having trouble with the signal here"

It's a bit hard to understand because of all of the background noise, but that's what I could understand.

From the Wikipedia article:

The MediaFLO system transmits data on a frequency separate from the frequencies used by current cellular networks. In the United States, the MediaFLO system uses frequency spectrum 716-722 MHz, which was previously allocated to UHF TV channel 55.

So hopefully you can understand my confusion here... lol I wish someone would write a full, all-out review... Doesn't matter much to me though because I'm already set on buying the phone
