CG Exclusive: Samsung F700-variant coming to Verizon


Don’t ask us when or where or how we know this, but Samsung’s much-drooled-after F700 will be hitting Verizon (so, yes, a CDMA version, which is smaller we’ve been told), probably by year’s end.

As Peter Ha said so eloquently, I WANT THIS PHONE! It has a fullscreen touchscreen and fold-out QWERTY keyboard.

I assume that you mean a CDMA variant of the F700???

Maybe im taking crazy pills along with the morning cup o vodka, but I thought the F700 was an HDSPA phone, and verizon was an EVDO network. Then again, I probably missed the joke, due to the vodka.

I played with the Vodafone version the other night. It’s pretty darn nice. Only 3mp on the cam, though, not 5 as Samsung originally announced. Samsung wouldn’t flat-out confirm, but they def. made me think a version is coming to some US carrier pretty soon.

Good luck on ever seeing that phone in the future. Verizon is very slow to release new PDA phones

Mr.Biggs,

I certainly hope this rumor has not been made up, because it’s torture to me if it is. I certainly hope you’re certain about it coming to Verizon. The weird thing is, you say it’s coming out before year end, if so, why haven’t we seen a FCC filing or spy photos?, maybe because it’s quite secret maybe.

no disrespect ,but this is not coming out this year 07 on verizon.If it is slated
look for it late 08.Verizon is always slow on new tech phones.

darn! my daddy just got me the iphone!!! but im not sure if this would be as good, but the texting is better because you have actual keys, and its much easier to text when your holding it horizontally. oh well, but im happy with what i have!

VERIZON!!!!! Are you serious Verizon is the worst network it could possibly be released for!!!!! Verizon plain out sucks hope samsung rethinks its decision before releasing it in the U.S

eh...... (Who am I?)

its a cool phone, but on verizon it will probably have the smartphone data plan which costs like $50 a month fot unlimited data

 
you guys are dumb

This is not a PDA phone people, it is just like the Voyager and will have unlimited HTML web access with vCast for $15 a month. Also what kind of crack are you smoking just because you can’t get approved for a Verizon phone or something, I mean they have been the top rated carrier for the last 7 years in consumer reports, forbes mag and now JD Power and Ass. Yea you guys are correct and the research is wrong Sprint’s terrible coverage rules over all only because they will take anyone one as a customer for a mere $125 deposit
