jtalker1965 - i9

Motorola has come out with a touch screen! It is with Verizon and it is the Krave. A buddy of mine has it and it is cool with a clear flip. A touch screen phone with a flip to end calls, what a combination of a cool phone. They should come out with the Krave with the 2-way for Sprint/Nextel and Boost. That would be a cool phone!

Motorola just doesn't get it

When are they ever going to come out with a real touch screen like the Dare and others? That's what people are looking for.

Love it, guys ...

... but when can we expect an in-depth review? Do you have to wait until it's officially released by the carrier, or is that a production version you've got there? Seems like it's a finished unit (branded and all).

Also, is the DC button LED flashing at the beginning because of the missed DC call that's shown at the beginning of the demo?

A request for a future video tour of this device: can we see the DC feature in action? That is, after all, the primary function of an iDEN device. Would love to see how some of the PTX functions (push to send event, etc.) work.
