LG VX-7000
VX7000 successor
I talked to a retail store manager who I always known to be on top of things and knows what he is doing, and he said that the VX8000 should be out in a matter of weeks! (He also said the price point could be pretty scary 😡 )

I unfortunately do not think your store manager is right. It has been rumored that the 8000 is going to be one of the flagship phones for when Verizon Launches their nationwide EV-DO network. And that is much further away than a few weeks.

Verizon is announcing plans to spend $1B US in the next two years to develop a wireless broadband network that will offer 300-- 500K speeds at $79.99 a month, starting this summer.
The network, which will use third-generation or "3G" technology provided by Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO), will be fast enough to allow consumers to download video and music as well as send video messages. The high-speed network, called BroadbandAccess, will be available to businesses and individual customers beginning in the summer of 2004. Since 2003, Verizon has operated wireless broadband networks in Washington, D.C., in a partnership with Lucent Technologies, and in San Diego with Nortel Networks.

I did not clarify: This store is in Raleigh, where VZW is losing customers to the Nextel Broadband service, which is available only in Raleigh. Raleigh is going to be one of the first cities besides DC and San Diego that launches EV-DO, and will need equipment that can highlight that network.
