LG VX-8100

Hey! so I just looked at pics of the samsung sch-A950. It looks like it's gonna have all the goodies of this lg (the design is almost the same) but it has an ipod type scroll wheel on front and an internal antenna. I saw the FCC reports, and the last date on anything there is 5/23/05. I assume that these take about 7 months from the FCC date until we see them in stores. Does this time frame seem correct? This would come out in Nov. My NE2 runs out in october, so I'll probably be getting the LG, but if anyone has any info on the a950 release date, please let me know. Thanks.
