There is something I have been waiting for, eagerly anticipating you might say. Something that would make things better all around. Of course it’s a gadget, a cell phone to be specific. One that I have been tracking for the last 9 months. Watched the specs get released, then changed. Jumped on any early photos I could find. Saw the release scheduled then pushed back. Watched as members of the sprint family were handed their new toy, and our release was pushed back. Now, 11 months after the initial grumblings were made public. Verizon Wireless has released the xv6800

It’s an upgrade to the phone I currently have, the xv6700. Honestly I’m glad to see this phone be released. Will I buy it? Probably not. I do intend to ask a Verizon representative why they think they can release a phone 6 months late, after sprint has already released it, and still expect $400 for the device. We’ll see how things go. Amazon sells the sprint version for $250 by the way.
