OK.. Here is the question... Why would Verizon have an August 11th release date when Radio Shack is now advertising (aggressively advertising) the phone as available now for $249.99.... It is in their flyer... On the Radio Shack Home Page, and as we have seen here... Selling like hotcakes...

Is there some defect that is in the phone that needs to still be resolved???

Is it all about the numbers???

It it the fact that the phone might work, and, as we know, Verizon doesn't like phones like that???

Any opinions from this opinionated crowd???

Just because Radio Shack advertises something doesn't mean they have it in stock.
Also remember that the phone is not exclusive to
Verizon. Motorola can sell there phones to anyone they want. Verizon may be an exclusive carrier but not reseller.

Is there something defect about the phones that needs be resolved? Yes. The phone has major operating system problems. There will be a soft wear upgrade next week and a firm wear update sometime in the next month or two. You won't see many of those problems here because A.) The phones are new and the operators/owners haven't come across the problems. B) The phones are a new toy and the owners are willing to overlook the problems out of ecitement of having there new toy. C) If you just spen...
