Any estimated ETA on the Verizon Touch yet?

[DHarvey]

I just reprogrammed my Sprint Vogue using Qualcomm QPST so no I can activate my Sprint Touch on Verizon's network if they ever decide to release their Vogue. I personally am quite tired of Sprint and their Less than poor customer service so once I get the chance, I'm switching to Verizon.

Fortunately for me, as a Radioshack employee I am on a Sprint Unlimited Everything plan for only $20 a month with no contract so I can switch carriers whenever I please. Problem is, there is no Verizon OS that I can Flash to my Sprint Touch just yet. That's the only thing stopping me at this point...

EDIT:: I am also looking for the Verizon screen to put on my Sprint Touch.(see below) I don't like having a phone that is branded the wrong carrier.



This is the Sprint Touch:



Notice, I want to get rid of the Sprint logo and replace it with the Verizon logo.

hmm, i never had a problem with the sprint cs. every call has been a good one. though, some corporate sprint stores are pretty ruthless. but i found a very nice one closeby, which is where i go for any problems
for the money, if i were you i would stick with sprint. you will be spending 60 extra bucks a month just to carry the verizon name with a simmilar plan.
considering that sprint has a roaming agreement with over 90% of verizon, you get virtually identical coverage

ps: i was once a verizon customer. very friendly staff. they definately had their crap together unlike some sprint stores. but the one thing I absolutely DESPISED was their ugly red UI in all their phones (with the exception of WM phones at the time). it was slow, and they locked down the phones so badly that you had to do some major hex tweaks just to get your phone to play music that wasnt bought from them.

though that was over a year ago. i hope they changed

I think the latest rumor was end of March/Beginning of April. Who knows, though.

some ppl say march, some ppl say april, some ppl say june :-S. i wake up everyday and assume it's gonna be released "tomorrow"

I don't know what area you live in, but I would never give up my RS Employee Plan for Verizon. I used to have Verizon, and in my area (Eastern PA, NYC, North Jersey, ect.) Sprint and Verizon have the same coverage (dropped calls, ect.) I would even go as far as saying Sprint has better coverage in my imediate area. Where do you live?

Is the Verizon Touch actually going to be white? If so, that's UUUUGLY IMO lol.

I prefer the white one. I think the other one looks bland.

[bonabob]

I agree, the white looks ugly and very girlish!
