I heard a rumor yesterday that Rev A is going to launch on July 1st. Anyone know if this is true? That would be sweet because then the new PTT network will also launch! Great things happening in Verizon land!

Rev A hasn't been fully launched actually. If it had been then we would already see the new PTT phones. The new PTT phones are pertty sweet though. Also I hear that USCC is going bye bye on July 1st. 😈
