This phone will not be released at all cause it failed all the testing. Next phone for verizon will be motorolla bar phone you can check it out under phones motorolla. Bad news guys, and guess what you probably heard of Sprint walkie talkie feature which is much better and they have now already 5 phones in stock for push to talk. Sprint came out with that feature only like 4 months ago and see how many phones they have already. So guys if verizon would want another push to talk phone they would already get one. They just dont need one since their push to talk having problems anyway. Dont wait for another phone like at least for 6 months more which will be motorolla model bar phone, colorless.Good luck all.

People like you shouldn't post on here. Obviously the A690 is NOT discontinued since it was just shown at the CTIA show. And the Phonescoop article said available Q2. It may be delayed but it is not canceled. Don't know where you got your info but it is incorrect. Or maybe you are just trying to disappoint people.
...
Agreed JJA, people should not post miscellaneous, and falsified b*llsh*t. It is simply bogus. If you are trying to make us all feel stupid for wanting it, try again, the joke is on you. Next time post some info that you can back up, not some concocted story.
...
The phone is delayed for long time and there will be another phone first Motorolla bar phone so people like u should not give falsely information ok and this other guy. By the way you should not tell people that phone is coming out soon because you been saying that for about last 4 months man. There is another message about the same thing that I have told you which is about the Motorolla phone that is going to come out first. By the way if you want to know my sources they are reliable and they are from a friend of mine who is working for verizon. And plus I spoke to verizon wirelles representative who does even know that the phone will come out with in six months because of the delay with the new system that verizon wirelles will soon launch...

Well first off you need to learn how to speak and spell. That message was so bad that it was hard to understand. Also you said the A690 was cancelled NOT delayed I see now you are changing your story. Just do us a favor don't post info unless it is accurate and not just pure rumors you wish to make up.
...
You are the absolute worst speaker or writer if you will, that i have ever seen. I have worked for Verizon for 4 years moron, and as far as the Push to Talk goes, there is no NEW system, there are some upgrades and advances in place to the existing service. The sammy will be out, it failed testing for the final time back in November. Sammy then basically redid the entire s/w structure and operations of the phone. Hence the re'release at CTIA. Testing can be complete by the end of April. What are you doing here any way? Obviously you know nothing at pull all the info out your ass. And one last thing, Motorola,(one L)
...
Thank you, I think thats what JJA and I were attempting to convey to the moron.

Ok so VZWagent when can i expect it cause i keep lookin at the nextel website more and more and everytime i look at i just say sh*t cell service,but great ptt...I need great cell service and great ptttttttttttttttttttttt...When is Verizon gonna wake up and smell the coffee and cure the ptt problem and like i said before is the samsung a690 gonna cure the problem or what? Let me know...By the way, how can something be discontinued when it hasn't even been out yet...That guy is idiot,discontinued, huh he should be discontinued.

😁 😁 😁 😁 😁
I just got 2 Samsung A690's today. The VZW store was just setting the display and I was able to aquire 2 of them.

😲
Yeah, this better not be an April fools joke buddy!!!!
👿
...
Well it is, ha ha ha 🤣
...
did you really get the phone? or is this a joke. I have been waiting on this phone for months. what state do you live in? Because I live in GA and they are not out yet
...
😢 😢 That is to bad. Should I even continue to wait on this phone?
...
I was on the phone with a very informative verizon tech today and he said it is due out any day. He also said that the delay issue is 2-3 seconds. Anyone using PTT verify that?
...
So you are saying that the SCH-A690 will be out soon. How soon would u say? I have a Motorola V60p the Verizon push-to-talk phone and the delay is about 2 seconds if that. 😁
