The link in the text says U740 instead of U470.

The big, big question on the form factor is this: How long is the phone when it's open? Without anything to compare it to, it's hard to tell. I'm guessing it looks about the size of the chocolate; so open, it'll be huge. If that's the case, I would never buy this phone.

Well, knowing Verizon, this uninspiring device can be expected in mid-2008.

you mean 2009 right! haha wait or maybe 2010

yeah really...I don't understand what Verizon's problem is. What the hell is the hold up? Maybe if they'd just let the manufacturer keep their (superior) interface the phones would come out faster.
In case Verizon didn't get that: Stop putting AOL-esque kiddie user interfaces on your phones. And stop crippling the abilities!

Another thing that isn't mentioned is the fact that the phone comes in 3 colors:
Blue
Red
Teal
And due to it being in Infomanager you can expect it relatively soon.

i like this phone, the swivel factor is impressive, and hopefuly its not that long when open. i dont like that bump behind/on top of the front screen, it makes it look accured but the swivel thing out rules that, and hopeful this phone will be able to use our music not vcast.

"and hopeful this phone will be able to use our music not vcast."
You mean like on every VZW music capable phone?

This form factor is completely stupid! Who would want a phone that would be a 6 inches long when its open?!?!
Plus, how big is the display? From the pictures that i've seen, it looks tiny!
They better give this phone away free!!!!!!!!!!

You're right. Motorola is trying to sell that razr-thing, which is like 6" when opened, too! Nobody buys those things...

people complain way to much
why the hell would you spend your day looking at phones you hate and then tell people why you hate them
NO ONE GIVES A F*CK!!!

Daniel S., the only time you ever COMMENT is when people complain, and that's to COMPLAIN. The hypocrisy is so prevalent it glows like a rave stick. Unless, of course, you're trying to start a flame war, which in that case you are just a douche.
Daniel S. @ Sep 27th 2007 6:30AM
you stupid sh*t i'm not complaining about phones now am i
so how the f*ck am i hippocrite, if i was going around complaining, and wrigning lick a paragraph on why i don't like a phone then maybe you can call me a hippocrite until then you can go shove that rave stick up your ASS!!!!
sgt_easton @ Sep 27th 2007 7:21AM
Dude, you need some serious help. I'm not joking, you need to see a psychiatrist.
Also, try reading the story. The last line was "How's everyone feeling about the form factor?" That's open invitation from the author to start a conversation about the phone.
That's all I have time for. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to searching for phones to post negative comments about. Because, you know, that's what I do all day.
Josh @ Sep 27th 2007 2:44PM
And you are wasting your day complaining about people complaining.
It looks like you give a F%$@, seeing that you took the time out to call us out.
