Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !

Pocketnow is reporting that the long awaited Verizon HTC Trophy has showed up on Best Buy's website, though not available/in stock. Usually this would be an indication of a near-launch. When we looked though, we were unable to find the device on the site, meaning the URL may still be hidden (or we're consistently spelling 'Trophy' wrong).
The price, out of contract, is listed as $600, but that's probably just a placeholder figure and nothing official. In addition, the model number MWP6985 is also confirmed for Verizon's first Windows Phone, which is as mythical as the unicorn at this point.
So, does this mean Verizon folk will be able to pick up their phone shortly? With this device's track record, we're going with 'no'. Still, hope spring eternal that Verizon will someday launch this device and complete the Windows Phone presence in the U.S. Seriously Verizon, this looks just sad now.

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !

I think that May 5th or May 12th will be the date of release. Somebody mentioned early in this thread that VZW announces phones on Tuesdays and releases them on the following Thursdays; it just happened with the Incredible 2. If the rep was telling the truth about the pre-order promotion and the release of the phone not being able to coincide, we will not hear anything about the phone on the 5th... if anything we will hear about it on the Tuesday before the release. If there is no news about the phone before the 5th, I wouldn't be surprised if the day we have all been waiting for goes by without any mention of it. Thursday is release day at VZW, not announcement day.
I may be wrong though... VZW has been handling MS like a cheap prostitute so who knows. Maybe they have a different release schedule for WP7 devices and will announce them on Thursdays and release them on Sundays or some stupid shit like that. Even the iPhone was released on a Thursday... im sticking to my original theory. Fingers crossed for an announcement on the 3rd.

Re: Verizon Wireless Windows Phone 7 status updates !

I have a quick question, not to throw the thread off, but...

Will the Trophy be able to stream Netflix movies like the Focus? That's going to be a big deal for me and I really hope it can.

My guess is that the 12th will be when it's released. I just hope it's going to be sooner rather than later because this is really getting old. VZW really needs to grow up and stop playing games.

I still have a claim open with Asuion for my cracked display on my TP2, I'll be calling them up when it's released to see if I can get a trade up.
