    If true, that'll be a pretty sweet deal. I can't wait for another round of massive whining from all the early adopters.

    It would be awesome if anything could happen without 90% of the world complaining about it, wouldn't it?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    What's to whine about? That's the choice you make when you just HAVE to be one of the first on the block to have a new gizmo! So pay through the nose or wait for prices to drop.

    You can get an unlocked iPhone now. I'm sure within 6 months of this one being released, you'll be able to buy one thats unlocked.

    If I could get it with Verizon, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

    I have the LG UX8600 for Verizon and love it. I make some phone calls and send an occasional text message. I have no desire for anything beyond that.
    No excuses!

    I was looking real hard at this phone today through Verizon but I figured the price would come down soon enough.

    That phone is meant to compete with the iPhone. I'm not saying its better, don't care, just stating a factoid.
