Its funny but I got the call from my companies Verizon Rep today about the I700. He told me to contact the local stores who were clueless and unhelpful. After a couple calls and a quick fax my I700 was ordered and should arrive Monday if they made the shipping cutoff otherwise Tuesday.

The pricing is simple: $599 w/ 2YR Contract or $629 with a 1YR Contrract (go for the 1YR Contract you won't regret it later).

As for the data plans and voice plans. Yes you can stack your family share plan and a data plan together. Others have had issue with Verizon on this, but it was no hassle on my end. I got Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Call ID, and 3 Way Conference Call to boot.

I took the unlimited data/email plan on the Express Network for $44.99 which is about $10 more than the 5MB plan. So you might as well go for it.

Hope this helps everyone out. It was also nice to see that the official date is May 19th posted on the internet since Verizon CS has no clue to the date and the stores don't know it exists (in some places).

I went to my local Verizon store and they still don't have it in stock, they claim that they will in a week. ARGH!!!

Though I have to say that it's a little pricey.

Does your company have a corp rep? If so call them and get one ordered on Monday.

Can someone Tell me if I can buy it without subscribing to any mobile operator, I want to use it in Japan and Ask my operator to turn it on here. This Unit is a CDMA ONE so it should work here on our CDMA ONE Network (What Qualcomm Japan Told me)

thanks

PS I will kill for this unit
