Anyone know if they kept the FM radio on it or are we doing the Touch Pro/TP2 over again with this phone ?

I sure hope Verizon offers something soon. My choice is to stick with Sprint and get pounded in the ass as they move me to the new $110 everything plan event though I've been with them a decade for an antiquated phone with a nice OS. I can move to a $90 plan with Verizon that is more suited for my needs - either way I'll be paying a lot more than I pay now on my old Sprint F&C plan with my WM phone.

ATT and Tmobile coverage sucks where I travel, work and live so unfortunately while they have some great phone choices, I couldn't use them for my business cell phone.

After looking at it, it's a little much. $299.99- $100 mail in rebate, final cost $199.99. $300 out of pocket for the phone. Every WP7 on AT&T is $99 with a 2 year contract, no rebates BUT, if you want a Sprint WP7 phone, your going to pay for it.

Yeah I agree that the price sucks, it should be priced around $100-$150. Hell the LG Quantoum that has 16Gigs and a keyboard (although crappy) is only priced at $50.

It better still have the FM radio, as far as I recall this was a minimum spec requirement from Microsoft.

No offense taken.

I agree Verizon doesn't seem to be in a hurry but I hope they hurry anyways. The WP7 pro is nothing I would want. Something like the Focus or HD7 would be much more to my liking.

I use my phone for business so 90% of my daytime calls are to land lines - unlimited mobile doesn't help me in the least. I typically have about 1250 plus daytime minutes used and about 1500 night and weekend on my current plan. I barely use text about 10 per month. I use only about 25MB per month on my Vogue even though I tether it and use it to browse the web when I'm at the airport.

I would have to go to the $100 plan plus $10 surcharge since smartphones use more data than the $100 unlimited data plan covers with Sprint. You have to have an everything plan with any new Sprint Smartphone and they charge you the extra $10 now 4G or not to 4G - there is no question.

yeah i understand that i don't agree with sprint on the $10 data charge i thought people using 4 g had to pay more am i wrong for assuming this ???
