Wonder no more. It appears Verizon has (very quietly) launched the unit, and you can now get it via online (chat) or over the phone. It's not in retail yet, and I don't have any data on when it will be, but the following (blurry, as no one seems to know how to use macro) <a href="http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252323&page=100&pp=15">from the HowardForums thread</a> seems to prove it is indeed available.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20071127-XV6800.jpg" /><br /><br />More details are on Engadget; hit the link above. If any of you decide to try and order it, report back here and let us know if you were successful.<br /><br /><b>Update:</b> PPCT member blazingwolf reports that Verizon will start selling the unit at retail on 12/5.

FINALLY!

Why the no fanfair? They are pimping the LG Voyager like crazy but nothing on this yet - could it be that they are waiting for the 12/5 date?

I'm calling them now - geez talk about taking forever...

FINALLY

I got to play with one in my local store today.

They would not sell it to me today but confirmed the 12/5 retail date.
