Default Motorola V710 any info as to when??

Guys yesterday i was about to pull the trigger and go in on a two year plan with AT&T since they were offering the V600 at a great price, and their plan was also a pretty good deal. 700 anytime, unlimted nights and weekends with all the goodies for 39.99, which is what i pay now with t-mobile. My contract has been up and im in the market. Now all of a sudden i find out that the V710 is coming out, so i went to the motorola website to check it out, and what can i say.... WOW. So im in love with the V710 and it is said to come out at the end of this month per the friendly local Verizon store. So my question is, which other providers will carry this phone? Any info as to when its due out?

Thanks!

Strickly Verizon, and around July 4th maybe a week earlier.

If you need a phone now or cant wait or maybe dont like the phone or a better one comes out a month after that or... or.... or....go with Verizon (or maybe Sprint) because they allow you to trade in your phone (I know VZW does) and get a new one, as long as you re-sign a contract.

Meaning....
Get the V710 and sign 2 year agreement, if a better phone comes out, trade in (at the price you paid, but that depends on how long you have had it) and sign another 2 year agreement.
My friend does this all the time (he changes phones like its underwear).

From what I know ONLY Verizon will be carrying it, at least at the beginning

Nice pics dkhl. I'm not the type that changes phones like underwear but it's time for me to get a new one and the 710 looks a like a great candidate

probably not that cheap, but if you really want a camera phone (and hopefully dkhl can shed some light on the subject) the new LG-VX8000 is coming out some time...... no one has any idea when.

spoiler pic...


but the VX-7000 will come out first, so it looks like it will be a wait for this thing.

VX-8000

I doubt it. There are too many other phones more expensive with less features than this phone. I am ready to upgrade my phone, and I am looking at this phone as well, but I am hoping it costs less than $300 (w/2year plan).
