Ok guys. For those that dont know why some places had the phone and some didnt here is why...The phone of course was scheduled for today as well as video messaging. Well when some manangers activated their demo phones there was a problem with the video messaging feature. When VZW headquarters found out about this problem they haulted the date until July 1st but unforunately some store had already had their brochures out as well as advertisements for the phone out.

FWIW, I'm a store technician for Verizon in Texas and our VX7000s didn't come in yesterday. We'll have them on the first, though.

North Eastern Pennsylvania has it. I held a demo yesterday. I wasn't impressed. They couldn't show me a working model. It has a camera and an assist light. They added a ton more size for not many more features. Meh. I'll pass.
