Hopefully never, after their last CDMA release which went off with a bad fizz,, and this one which has obviously been "delayed" for reasons unknown, I hope it never hits the shelves!

Originally turned up in May, but then has been recalled due to software issues for Video I believe, not sure when it will be released though. Very cool phone though, had a play with one when they came out before they got recalled. micro sd, built in itrip for fm tuning, stereo bluetooth and interchangable faceplates. Hopefully it wont be too far away.

One of my team have been using it from day one, strange how there was some sort of video bug as since she has had it she has had no issues, it downloaded music fine, she could record or copy any of her own ring tones, she even had it connected to her stereo to play music at a party. There was some mention of the download speed being slow but that was not noticeable. Anyway pity its not for sale yet lots of poeple are interested.

Oh ew. Looks like Fisher price and Sonny collaborated. VX8600 is much nicer, what about a CDMA Chocolate?

Okay, I eat my words, Mate is over from states so I finally got a play with his US version.

Actually it's a rather nice phone, only major letdown is that the screen is cheap (interlaced LCD!) but I love the design and general usage of it. slim, good keypad to use and the EL glow looks brilliant and there is some X factor about this thing I have not seen in a phone for a while, some rather nifty gimmicks too like "hum a ringtone" and it prepares a MIDI score from your pitch which I had more than a good play with and of course the FM transmitter "itrip" feature.

I'll have a better look at the local version's LCD though as his might just be an early one. and i'll also upload some nice pictures I took of it in whole ipod-esque and with it.
