Samsung i760 May Finally Be Nearing Release

In January of this year, Samsung first began showing off the i760, a slim Windows Mobile smartphone. Nearly half a year later, there's good evidence that this model might finally be close to its release date.

When this model received its FCC approval in April, it was revealed that the i760 will run on CDMA networks, but not which carrier or carriers will be offering it. According to information that was just leaked to Engadget, Verizon Wireless will launch this device in the next few weeks.
