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, ). 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 that must be it

I've been a Verizon customer for many years now, I've had at least 4-5 phones where Verizon thought it was ok to disable or downgrade features because it fit them. Last one is my current Touch Pro 2 and the FM radio (still sore about that one).

If there is one thing disabled on the first WP7 phone, even the CPU by 5%, I don't care, bye bye Verizon for good. This is someting that pisses me off, we pay full retail for a phone (without a contract or comparable versions for GSM models), but, the company desides to disable somethig because they think they can make more money off it.

It's almost like you buying a New Car with built in GPS but, the dealer disables the GPS system because they want to sell you an external model.

I don't think we have to worry about the Trophy, if you look in the Trophy area on XDA, there is a poster who claims he is a tester with it. HE also claims, 16gb and the FM radio.

It's the 24th....Nothing yet...oh, well disapointed again...Thanks Verizon...

dont do it--just to spite them stick around were obviously gonna need you; someone is going to have to reverse engineer verizons red meddling tile of costing... but hardware wise they cant change anything...thats the Microsoft rule on this one.(iphone unity verses android fracturing im guessing as the role model on this one) Im sure thats one of the reasons vzw are not pushing it- they didnt get their way...if you look at that fcc ruling the trophy only passed the second set of testing on the 23rd obviosly that puts vzw behind for the 24th...it was however passed before after its original november application ..so even if the original application was pre nodo...the second application could mean nodo plus verizons touch(poo finger). Sprints arrive (the other phone depending on nodo) started testing at fcc.. looks like the 11th feb; passed on feb 24th a whole month earlier as far as i can tell.(..FCC site difficult to navigate)
didnt see anything about november tho!!!?! unless vzw's first application was based on the world phone end of it which means verizon have been testing gsmshit since nov??( without nodo..)and writing tiles. Sprints arrive is not world phone.. It has a smaller screen too; im ok with that.(them having it)

Anyway if it just passed its gonna take a week or 2 to ship and stock...so april 7th for ms employees free phones extension, sounds like reality I dont think they would have pushed it out just one week unless it was firm..I bet it is widely available the week prior to that.. and regardless of any testing the nodo wasnt pushed... and its big red

This said valid through April 1st.. NOW it says April 7th !

WTF ? I have no idea what that means....

Nice find, that just tells me that Verizon WILL not be releasing it this week and possable not next week. Just because their offer expires, does not mean the phone is released, crap it could get released on the 15th, it does not matter.

Again, nothing new expect if your on Verizon your not getting a Windows Phone 7 model any time soon. Phuck Verizon !

Well, still waiting... As far as the tester has said, they have not disabled any features on the phone. They extended the date and I will start testing GSM networks a few days after the first if there is no annoucement or release date.

The release of the HD7s (HD7 with a SLCD display) makes AT&T look good. If I was to change, that is what I would be getting.

I have been waiting from the release of the first models, I am sick of waiting....Almost at the end of my rope here...

Only thing that is ok, IF they end up with it and I don't pay full price, it's only $70 extra for a 1 year contract with VZW.
