EV-DO Commercial
Thought I'd mention.....
I just saw an EV-DO commercial for verizon wireless on tv. I can't remember who said this, but they said that we would see a slew of EVDO commercials right before the release of the vx8100. Everything seems to be lining up for the release of the phone next Monday...June 27.

I'm gonna wait til at least monday....not sure if I'll give it til July...
Thanks.

these posts made me smile. ill admit, im psyched for the 8100 to come out because im a fan of LG and this has bluetooth. but still people are going way to far out on this and trying to photoshop pictures of the 8100? i thought that was a bit nuts. its nice to know that there are a few sane ones left on phone scoop. 😉
