Was there this much anticipation for the T720?

Just wondering if the T720 had this much following. I found out and bought it a few months after the release and before I saw everyone and there kids had one. At least after launch I know the T720 was slow to catch on. Any one that knows thanks for the info.

You can have your phone by Wednesday!!!!

Anybody want to know how? Of course you do. Ok, here's the deal...... it's kinda complicated so read carefully. Radioshack has these phones in their DC's right now! What that means is you can go to your local RS store and order the phone ( 17-1971 ) through the "Direct2U" service. And if you want you can pay $80 more for next day shipping. So, here's the catch. In order to order your phone now you would have to come up with all $520 right now. The good news is, once you get the phone, you go back to that RS store and say "I would like to return this phone and I would like to buy it again, but I want to do it as an upgrade this time." This means that you get your $520 back and pay either $320 or $350 depending on the length of your c...

***Official Launch Dates Communicated to Verizon Wireless***

๐Ÿ˜ Finally, an answer! The following is an excerpt from an e-mail I received from our Motorola rep for the main VZW sales office:


We passed phase 4 testing (friendly user trial) and received the approval to launch the V710, three days ago. The phone is being shipped to your DC's as we speak.

As far as a launch date goes, if you figure a week to ship to the DC's and have the get everything in order, then another week to seed the stores, receive their launch kits and so on, I would predict that the phone will launch between Tuesday Aug. 3, and Tuesday Aug. 10th. Please feel free to tell everyone!

*** And there you have it, straight from the source! I, for one, am looking forward to the opportunity to sell this piece of equipmen...

Available for Sale at RadioShack NOW!!! @ 519.99 only!

Hello,

First of all this method has not been tried, but here is some goodies to chew on.

First as most of us know the sku is 170-1971

Today I ran the number into the inventory system and it shows that it went active 7/23/04

Under a product inventory search for my region it showed that none are in stock, but then I tried to see if it is available thru direct fuffilment. The computer indicated that it is in stock and available for sale through Gift Express.

So again, I have not tried it, but If you are in contract and will not be able to qualify for discounted pricing, you should be able to get it drop shipped for 519.99

If anyone tries this letme know how it works, I want this phone BAAAAD just as much as you all.


PS....

Real Full Retail Price--to put all rumors to rest

I'm sure that many of you know already but just so that everyone is on the same page:

The pricing for full retail will be 519.99

If you look at the ad. you will notice "with out 2 year contract-- 519.99" its small so get your glasses out ๐Ÿ˜‰ :

http://willsisti.net/images/rsv710.jpg ยป

This post is just to show concrete proof of the full retail price.

Hope this helps!

for People paying full price

Looks like a valid V710 auction at ebay. It claims it is for pre ordering and will ship week of august 2nd. Price set at $449 buy it now and a quantity of 186 right now. They accept paypal so there is a level of security there. the link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem &category=64355&item=5710995118&rd=1
I personally have to wait for my NE2. Just thought I would mention it. Started 2 days ago so sorry if this is a repeat.

SAW THE V710 TODAY

hey guys, i was upstae today with a few friends and one of my friend's brother had the v710. i asked how he got it and he told me he knew a guy that worked at motorola and he payed $800 to get it a few months early. anyway, he let me play with it and it was great and everything but the screen was very hard to see in the bright sun. right now i have a suky lg vx4400 but i could see the screen on that perfectly in the sun. i just wanted to know if this could just be a problem on the preapproved phones and is it possible they fixed this? i mean you could BARELY make out what was on the screen during the day. anyone have any info on this?

No Joke guys, This is form a very reliable source.

The mention last week about a 2 month delay was true and could still happen but the marketing guys have pushed the phone out even with some technical problems. Too much at risk to not launch is what I am hearing.

18 days and counting..

You will all say I was right !
