VZW is struggling to get a Windows Mobile 6 phone out (xv6800), how are they going to handle an alternate OS?! .. It just doesn't fit the standard VZW mold.
the samsung i760 has been available since 10/19 on "The Network" with WinMo6. However your point is accurate and true...they don't have a track record of advance device deployment...the i760 is nice, as samsung always makes a sweet product, but it's really a generation behind and should have been out a year ago, compared to the likes of the Tilt.
The thing is, verizon traditionally likes using it's "v-cast" menu system, and also likes to cripple phone-computer links like bluetooth and USB, and so I would assume that they would have to change both in using this new OS.
I acknowledge I might be wrong in the words stated above.
