Sorry, I wish I could tell you all what is happening with this phone at this point. I posted the last that I heard which was that it was still slated for tomorrow. However, my postings have resulted in much more trouble than I had thought ever possible. I was fired for violation of the nondisclosure agreement. I was told that if I post any more confidential information on this site I can be sued. I will still be here to talk about general issues, and I will be here tomorrow morning for everyone to attack me if the phone does not come out (hell, it's not like I have to go to work). Good luck everyone!

Nobody gets fired from a job and then volunteers to return to the forum that got him fired the very next day!!! These 12 year old kids are getting pretty good.

I'm glad somebody realizes what's going on. Some people on here are SO desperate to believe that they are getting inside information that their gullibility has reached enormous proportions. The question isn't really whether or not he was lying about the release date, or even getting fired for talking about it. The question is whether or not he even works for Verizon at all. Anyway, I'm an indirect dealer, and I predicted that this phone would be out in August. That was about April or May. Looks like I'm going to be the smart one, huh? By the way all... I have no inside information, just a working brain and the ability to detect bullshit. You should look into it.

Yep, people do get fired. If any of you guys have been longtime Verizon Wireless users, you will know there is a guy named JonManGo on the Verizon Wireless Usenet Newsgroups who used to give everyone the inside scoop on things and even when software updates were available. Well, he got fired because he can't speak for VZW officially. There are Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and it's no different than information being leaked to foreign nations as there are things known as corporate secrets that is meant to be kept inside the company only.

I am not surprised to hear that people are skeptical of my actions, returning to the forum after I have been fired. However, I felt that this would be a suitable action to avoid an unexplained absence here tomorrow if the phone is not released as I had anticipated. Now to answer the obligatory question:

How did they know who I was?
Well, maybe you will recall my first post on this forum. It was in response to a customer who had posted that he spoke with me about a potential release date in a store. He said, "He'll probably even read this post." My first line in response was that I did read this post. That seemed to disclose my identity to anyone who was present in the store when I was speaking with this customer. It seems as thoug...

I know that I have been pretty hard on you VZW, but I am truly sorry to hear that you lost your job. While not certain you ever worked for VZW, your posts clearly indicate that you are an educated person. If you are 12 please let me know where you go to school because I would like my kids to go there.

For the remainder of the posters, I had a problem with my phone, and needed to swap it this morning, so I went to the VZW store. Started to speak to the guy about the V710 to see what story I would get. He told me that the phone is ready to go, but they did not have enough units available to ship to stores for a national launch. He said that it was supposed to launch (get this) this Tuesday. He said that they would be getting more and ...

Hey guys. I know that this may be something that you will not like, or call me a liar for, but I don't want to give you the store that this happened. Let's just say that it is in the Northern Illinois area (would make sense that they may have them, since Moto is based in Chicago).

I'm not trying to be difficult. This store has been taking care of me personally for years and I know the manager there pretty well. I don't want to subject them to 1000 calls from forum members looking to verify my information. If you believe me, great. If you don't, I don't care. I am not, and have never been here to spread rumors. In fact, I'm here to debunk rumors!

Now I told him (in a very respectful way) that he had to be pulling my chain. He walked in the back and came out to the counter with a Moto phone box. What was inside? The V710. Me and the two other people in the store had an opportunity to look at it, but he did not want us messing with it for too long. He said they only received 5 units and that was much less than is needed for the launch........ Should be close peo

I am even more excited about Liebuster's (sorta) information now than i was before!

Liebuster, go back to the store and ask the guy to give you the phone NOW! Then make him sell it to all of us, then tell him the phonescoop made you do it.

Well I must say, I heavily doubted VZWsales' truthfullness and accurateness info and began to flame him slightly b4 when it was doubtful of the phone being released 2morrow the 6th.... on HoFo Almighty1 had posted a pic of an ad with the v710 right beside the 7000 and left a phone number for the store. I called the number and the man said that he received the phones but they were recalled and shipped back and wasn't sure when he would be getting them back. I'll call again in a few days to see if there are any updates from him (primary source right about now)... if anyone else would like to do the same the number is .....

Someone might want to ask him when he got them and when/why he had to send them back.. just a thought

Haha, I called 10 minutes ago and the guy said they were recalled for a problem with outgoing voice quality. He said that he did get the phones and had to shipped them back to the manufacturer. He never said when he got them but Future Wireless has 4 stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and they are a Verizon Wireless/MetroPCS indirect:

San Francisco - this is the head office
651 Kearny St

San Francisco - Clement
