I'm with Verizon, I've gone that route to see if they can fix, about $120 and 2-3 weeks, I said forget it. No replacements are available from the insurance company or verizon. Unless I want the poor reviewed LG Fathom or a 4 year old phone, I have no choice but to wait.

I'm beyond tired now, it's getting old waiting for Verizon to get a phone. I've been with verizon for 12-15 year now, even from the flip phone days, GSM would get new models, a year later there would be a CDMA version.

Just wish GSM coverage was better (and AT&T had unlimited data), I would move and never look back.

I hear ya- Sprint/Verizon has better coverage where I am- At&t if they had even just a 5Gig cap I would already be signed up. I too am tired of seeing GSM phones a year later on CDMA, I don't know why if its a software/hardware issue(either way that why they get paid? so it shouldn't be hard?) still wondering why internet is buzzing about Feb 7...

No problem ! I kind of wish Verizon offered the service for around $35.

GSM gets new phones before CDMA because most of the world is GSM (about 85-90% of the world) if you are going to make a new phone, you want to make it towards the largest world wide market and GSM is it. Maybe this will balance itself out in 5-10 years with LTE (everyone seems to be going to it)but, intill that point, it will be this way.

Everything is saying that Feb 7th will be the next WP7 update, this will give features (copy and Paste, etc) and CDMA support. Once this is out, it "should" be just a short matter of time before devices hit the CDMA market. Or it could be a date when CDMA models will hit, no one know for sure.

We should know more tomorrow...

Now you will all HAVE to go.

Even if its just the Jan WP7 update(copy&paste one), this is big news for CDMA users, because with out this first update, CDMA support does not exist. So when you finally get a CDMA WP7, it will have copy and paste support built in.

All I hope is it's final and already in hands of OEMs who are building the phones as I post this(hope even more that it's in shipping or at the providers stock rooms).

The news I expect tomorrow Copy&paste/CDMA update and(or) CDMA release dates. People have waited long enough, they need to give us a bone here...

I think it would be worth attending this podcast, I know I'll be there...

They must have a real hold on the OEM's not to talk numbers, what they are shipping/making, and carriers not one word. I mean the info really might be simple stuff but with so much speculation over the last few months I wonder how people will take it...

CDMA is promised by the end of Quarter 2 of 2011.

Well, that is the latest news (posted on the homepage/news updates), The only other time we will see WMC on the Feb 12-14th. We should know SOMETHING by then.

If they are still talking the end of Quarter 2 (June), I will be going Android or something else depending on what my insurance is offering me.

If it isn't until June - chances are I'll be going iphone 5 or whatever Android will be by then. If it does take until June for WP7 on CDMA I would say MS is probably going to drop WP7 like they did Kin. It is a shame because WP7 is actually pretty good despite MS's best effort to kill it.
