    I've seen Lowell lay the hammer down on a store manager before. He is an intimidating dude.

    The android phone will be an LG.

    I hope the CEO of Verizon bringing up the Tour is sufficient enough for everyone. That's pretty much Official.

    we always knew that it was an official device thanks to you buddy! ... but its nice to hear them publicly speak of the device. Hopefully the marketing team at vzw gets the ball rolling to get this phone out already. My annual upgrade has been available since feb and im not a very patient person! i need a new phone.. 8330 is great, but its very last year.. haha

    Oh yeah, they definitely will my friend. Definitely. This is a big step up for hundreds of thousands of corporate Verizon users. The 9630 will most certainly get it's fair share of the spotlight.

    Fair share of the spotlight meaning there will be a major marketing campaign for the phone?

    Yep, this is just as big a deal as the 9000 was for GSM carriers. It is launching in Canada first, but will still get plenty of airtime in the states.

    I'm gonna guess we'll see it by that June 22nd date in Canada. Then July will roll around and I'll be digging through my account for an upgrade!

    CX, you think this is coming out in Canada first? That's good news because I'm on TELUS. Do you know if it's launching on Bell or Telus first?
