Yes, it's finally shipping! Given some of the disclaimers on the site, it does look like some features I saw have been turned off -- or something. I'll have to get one to see for sure.

About getting one... apparently, it's online only. At least for now. It's got a price of $299 with a $50 online discount with a new, 2 year contract or $399 for one year or $469 with no contract. I have to figure out if I can get the "new every two" $100 bucks off of it, too. And I'll have to decide if I should sell off a VX7000, a V710, or the 8940... (and perhaps some other phones ... and maybe an arm, to finish off paying for it).

Well, it's a bit more expensive than I think it should be. However, it does come in at the same price that the V710 come in at when it first launched, so it's not all bad. But I'm not going to wait over a year to be able to pay a hundred bucks for it...

If anyone picks one up, let me know what you think! I will post a more complete review when I can. I might even try to find all the undocumented bits. ;)
