Release this phone already, Verizon!
I wish they would approve this phone so that I can pick two of them up. I am ready for some video messaging! 🤤
No more "...so what are you wearing?"
More like "...slower, slower...right there, right there!"
No Audio Jack ?

The entire wireless industry is messed up! These companies should be PHONE & INTERNET companies, and therefore provide a service, not devices!
It's been over 4yrs since I bought a phone from ATT, I pay for a signal, not phones. I want to buy a pho...

What a beast!
I hope there's a huge battery in there. Being able to function as a router is sweet...you can be your own walking hotspot with unlimited data for smartphones!
Windows Mobile devices have been able to utilize the router function for awhile. Nice to see you don't have to hack the phone to do it tho.
