In other words, flash your V3M with V3C firmware, and you've turned your V3M hardware into a V3C phone... UPDATE: (12/9/06) a Verizon V3M Monster Flash HAS BEEN LEAKED!!!

So we can't always count on this ever happening, nor can we have any expectations that a particular firmware will actually get leaked, or when it will be leaked.
