The good news is it is very close to release. We can share this bit of info regarding big red's first Windows Phone:

• Testing is going well
• The device is being evaluated for standards certification right now
• Still waiting to announce a launch date but "it will be very soon"

We can say with confidence that the above information is from Verizon internal and very recent. So while folk will have to wait just a little while longer, Verizon looks to be dotting the i's and crossing the t's for launch, meaning we're in the final lap.

Well.. at least the support pages are back now.. LOL...

Like I said... they have til the end of the week.. then I'm shopping elsewhere...

If its this difficult to release a phone that is basically a repackage of a GSM phone.. imagine what it will be like trying to get Mango ? Hmm... this brings more to light than just VZW's ineptness in releasing a phone...

You KNOW they will be pushing users to buy a new phone.. so.. hmm.. things that make you go hmm... makes me wanna go brandless if I could...

I love how they say "We can say with confidence" because what they said was true, the phone would of been release over a month ago. So take this with a grain of salt. CTIA is still going on and Verizon has not talked yet, from what I have heard (Please correct me if I am wrong). It's all up in the air.

If this is true, How much testing do they need to do ? It's not a new model, it's a GSM phone converted over to CDMA (just like 1/2 the phones in Verizon). Gee wiz, verizon has had the Trophy from FCC aproval (Jan 7th I think), plenty of time... Look at the Arrive, it's out

More WTF from Verizon.....

but in reality testing to them means they are reverse-optomizing it like they always do..wp7 cant appear to upstage vzws premiere partners-verizon doesn,t get the sweetest phones first by not playing-ball suckers. WP's got built in xbox,zune, access to cloud services, etc ,etc,thats all powerful stuff ... remember when the touch pro came out;-they crippled it (removed ram and underclocked it by 25% -they forced to buy sprint tps and change the_esn,8-[ ). Seriously guys google -( verizon + crippled ). Im guessing there r gonna f with the sd card..what else can they do..I bet they try to force us to use one that is slower and small (8g max ) .douchebags.and it wont be removable ...I dont think they can f@$k with anything else(Its almost like MS knew).cant wait to see what stupid verizon live tile i have to look at.

maybee they are taking their time because they are finalising a huge viral wp7/vzw ad campaign:wink: that must be it
