Non-ptt v60 model for Verizon?

Happy Holidays!
I am getting ready to port my Sprint PCS number to Verizon. My goal is to
cut the cord on my home wired phone and go completely wireless.

To accomplish this, I want to get one of the Cellsocket's
(www.cellsocket.com) so that I can use my home phones via the cell.
Currently, the Cellsocket is only available for Motorola and Nokia phones.
It appears that the Nokia models that Verizon offers are not compatible with
the Cellsocket so I'm looking at the Motorola phones instead.

The T720 and T730 work with the CellSocket but you lose the capability of
using Call waiting and the ability to check your v-mail. The V60 is the
only phone that has all the capabilities.

The problem is that Verizon will ONLY sell the phone to a client who
includes the Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature on the phone.

I've heard some rumors about another Motorola v60 model which will not
include the PTT feature.

Does anyone know what this model is called and when it may be available?

Thanks!

Your voicemail will still work and be retrievable with the cell phone
when not installed in the CellSocket.

The phone you heard about is the v60i, and it's been available for at
least a year, but no longer from Verizon company stores. The last
time I checked, it was still available from Motorola on their web
site, at a with-activation price. You could also buy it from many
Verizon dealers, with activation.

In fact, I promoted two co-workers who needed new phones to do just
that, about three months ago. Then two weeks ago, when my StarTac
gave up, I replaced it with a T-730! I too have ordered a CellSocket
to use with it at home. Sure hope it works!

I'm sure by now you know Verizon now sells the v60s (s=Speakerphone) as
little as $20 for new customers.
