Is this thing the VX9900? And that one the VX8600?

We know Verizon's The V (formerly known as the VX9800) has its fair share of fans (and detractors), but we're hoping they nailed it on the second go with their rumored VX9900; though the image here may be craptastic, it definitely does look to be a bit of an improvement and even takes a few notes from the gone-but-not-forgotten Ixi Ogo. Oh, and supposedly that Chocolate flip U830 is pictured here as the VX8600, so it's all coming together.

Combine them, and then you have my money :P

Seriously tho, a thin dual hinge phone, ala that Samsung D307, that might be hot...

The V is funny...they have to have those two little soft key buttons for BREW compliance, and it's so awkward. Looks like the same deal on this one.

Fine fine... we see pics.. when the hell is it gonna come out?! And I hope the exterior is better than the original V. Also I hope you can use the speaker phone with the thing closed!! Verizon is so so slow in bringing out the products!
