Huh, I'm the one that took the picture and I never said anything about a date. The San Francisco dealer just said they don't have the phones in and no ETA on it yet.

What I meant was that the flyer on the window is newer than the one in the San Francisco Advertiser which is published once a week and covers Thursday to Wednesday.

Heh, I used to goto UCLA 10 years ago and on June 17, 1994 as I and my friends were heading to LAX down 405, it was O.J. Simpson on the other side in that famous chase! 😈
Is there actually any Verizon stores anywhere near the Westwood area?

Oh well, heh. It seems easier buying electronics in SoCal than NorCal since there is affordable portables. 🤣

I was checking out A-Mighty's picture of the Future Wireless flyer. I live in San Francisco and occasionally pick up the Advertiser newspaper which usually features advertisements from several local Verizon resellers (Future included). A few years back I picked up a copy (it is free) and saw the as yet unreleased Motorola V60c listed in one of the dealer's ads. I had been waiting for that phone for a while so I gave them a call (don't remember if it was Future or not) and he said that it was not in yet but would be soon. Sure enough, later that week the V60c showed up at the Pine St. store in San Francisco completely unannounced to the surprise of the VZW sales people. Perhaps the V710's release will pan out similarly.

Considering how secretive VZW is being about this phone...it will most likely be a similar release

I am starting to think so. I just spoke the the salesguy at the Pine St. store in S.F. that sold me V60c (and every Verizon product that I have purchased since). Asked him what's the latest on the V710? He said that he wasn't sure. I mentioned that I had heard that it might be available this week. He mentioned that he had heard some mention of that, but since no demo kit had arrived at the store he doubted it. I reminded him of the surprise V60c release. He thought about it for a second and said that was a possibility because the demo kits and the phones all showed up at once in that case (so it is not an unheard of scenario). He said that he will call me on Wednesday to let me know if they are available. We shall see...

Hmm, what is the first name of the guy there? Does his name start with a D? When I asked him last Monday - he said the Motorola might be months away...

Negative. First name starts with a "P". He has been there for a long time. This is not surprising as I have heard widely disparate release date estimates. Some reps say August and some say December while others say they have no idea. I was out at Serramonte Center about a week ago and asked the kid in the VZW kiosk if he had heard anything. I almost fell over when he said "About two weeks".

Heh, Is the second letter an A? If it is, I know who you're talking about since I've been a customer of that store before it was located on Pine Street. It used to be at 5th and Harrison and known as Cellular Communications Corporation since their original number was 243-9797 until it was changed 2 years ago. The D guy has been there a long time too.

Yep, San Francisco Advertiser only publishes once a week and it's always from Thursday to Wednesday so some of the stuff might be outdated. It's their window flyer I'm talking about. There are really only four dealers who advertises Verizon Wireless....

Citicomm Wireless which does AT&T Wireless/Nextel/T-Mobile/Verizon Wireless/MetroPCS

Easyfinders which does AT&T Wireless/T-Mobile/Verizon Wireless/Cingular Wireless

FreeComm which does AT&T Wireless/T-Mobile/Verizon Wireless/Cingular Wireless/MetroPCS

Future Wireless which does Verizon Wireless/MetroPCS
