If you know how to click on a URL... AND if you know how to look up specs on cell phones, then you will see that on August, note that this is a pre-release date, that Mobiledia.com states that the Form Factor is "Clamshell / Linux OS". The second URL from Phonescoop.com states that the V9 uses Synergy platform. I posted both URLs for somparison so that people who might know more information would give an answer. I actually own the V9 now because my 2 year contract was up on my old ATT phone. And guess what, the insurance is not offered on it because my first one crapped out on me. You get one replacement via the warranty program & after that you are only covered for 90 more days. I believe the tech support lady told me that the insurance was sub-contracted out too. None the less I will more than likely purchase the Ming when it comes out anyways & ask ahead of time if it can be insured. Oh yeah, I did use some sources to back up what I wrote, where were yours before the phone was released ? Do you own either phone ? And what does "If is good" mean ? I only wanted more info from other intelligent people who might read these posts... obviously you do not qualify ! Hey cash…. or should it be cashless ?

If is good to see more people hopping on the failboat every day. Well Rob W mainly the reason ATT is able to use the juix platform in the razr 2 v9 is that you are an idiot.

But I am puzzled as to why Motorola is going to the Windows Mobile platform because of people stating that the Linux/JUIX platform will not support 3G ? If this is true then why is ATT able to use the Linux/JUIX platform in the Motorola RAZR2 V9 ? It also has 3G. Here us a URL or 2 to back this up, look @ the specs on these pages.... http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/motorola/razr2-v9.html & near the bottom here... http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/moto_razr2/ I have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Moto Ming for quite a few months now, whether it be EGDE or 3G enabled.

It's linux based. It's nice phone, but the PDA functions are not that great. The Business card scanner is a very nifty feature that I would love to see for my Blackjack. @chris

But please, Motorola, make it tri-band UMTS/HSDPA *and* enable EDGE by default! Am I begging for much? A 3G version would be a welcome addition to Ming.

By the time this phone is released their will others that are even more powerful. In addition we will have others with a more stable version of mobile linux already out. So BG this corner is too small for Ming. While cute and again nice use of the Neutrons I don’t see why they decided to finally release a phone that is in a way somewhat old.
