Motorola V710

i know this is the v710 forum (ive been watching since page 60 something) and there seem to be a lot of knowledgable folks here, so i thought i would ask why verizon is the only provider not on amazon. is it just company desicion to be exclusive or what? there are a lot of great deals on there, but none for verizon....oh well, at least new every 2 is coming up in sept...thanks in advace for any info.
