Niagara VZW Release Date!!!
- Today I was able to schmooze the ladies at the VZW counter for the unofficially official Niagra release date: May 9th. They told me they had gotten that little bit of information handed down from corporate in some sort of pre-release information sheet they can access as an employee of Verizon.
This is a direct quote from the lady at the kiosk, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but May 9th."

- May 9th has been the tentative release date for a long time. It sounds like it's getting pushed back to mid summer.04-04-09 02:39 AMLike 0
- I actually think they will hit this date or at least get it out before June.

! may 9th would be great! i mean this could wor because the 9630 is going to be announced at WES right? and that starts the 5th of may correct? or am i mistaken on date. not much time between announcement and release(if this happens to be correct dates) but it could work!04-04-09 02:49 AMLike 0 - while the op has no real proof next time tape record convo or snap a screen shot of memo or her pc haha! but i really really really! hope this is the case

It's a possibility that it will get held back but as of now it's release date {time frame} is still set04-04-09 11:41 AMLike 0 - On Verizons "sheet" Can't remember what exactly it's called, it's supposed to be released early may. Idc who says what on howard forums unless they're the ones approving it for launch.

He was just using the latest he could get his hands on. I'm sure they have better OSes and in a month they will improve on those.04-04-09 12:05 PMLike 0
- I think the "sheet" they're talking about is only available to the employees. So it sounds pretty legit to me. But for the release date, I'm gonna say, close to the end of May/early June. That's my guess.04-04-09 12:26 PMLike 0
- Yea I think it's legit to but for some reason I feel like they have delayed it so we won't see a May release. Hopefully we do.04-04-09 12:30 PMLike 0
- I think the only reason they would delay it is for an newer OS. But it doesn't take that long to cook up an OS. I think the most lengthy part is loading em onto the devices.04-04-09 12:36 PMLike 0
- There isn't going to be a May release on the 9630 from what I am told... My cousin works for Verizon and she will be the first to demo the phone when it is released she said the boss told her late June early July as far as when she will get the phone... It would be nice if her boss is wrong though and it did come out sooner...

On one hand we have a significant portion of people calling a possible late May/June launch, while the very few, but reliable sources are saying August. My gut says to believe the Kevin Byrne type of source who says August (and is right almost all the time), but then I want to believe the May/June rumors as well.04-04-09 12:59 PMLike 0

~IT WILL BE AN AUGUST RELEASE~04-04-09 01:29 PMLike 0 - For those of you so firmly discount other release dates and assert your own, what source are you using that makes you so confident? And how do you justify that source outweighing other people's alleged sources?04-04-09 01:43 PMLike 0
