I agree Eric - and Verizon's rather bulletproof cell phone insurance is
worth the wait anyway - it really IS the best in the business - All it will
take is one OOPS & dropping the 650 onto a hard surface to make the wait
worth it!

I WAS hoping that it was going to be released last week though - sure hope
the wait is not going to be like the long period of time after they
"Announced" the 600 though. . .
