Rumor has it (on howardforums) that they discovered a firmware bug (leading
to the phone freezing) bad enough that they decided to pull it, fix it,
and re-launch it (along with VZNavigator). One would imagine it'll have a
bit splashier launch this time, given that last time it was launched in
the clutter of the razr launch. I have not heard a timeframe on the
re-launch.
All that being said, I have one (bought online the day it became available),
love it, and have had no issues with it. Once when in the contacts list
it appeared to freeze momentarily, but cycled itself *very* quickly and
was back to where I'd been before I'd really noticed anything happening.
I'm sure I'll get the firmware flash when it's released, but I can easily
and very highly recommend this phone. It holds a signal wonderfully,
connects quickly (my LG 4400 took *ages*), and is a great size and shape.
