I see many posts here from Verizon customers complaining that the phone selection stinks at Verizon and the lack of new phone introductions.

Why does Verizon not listen to their customers and speed the pace of with new phone releases?

I see phones released by other carriers only weeks after FCC approval.

I have asked this several times with no good explanation.

Is Verizon taking too much from their customer with the lack of return?

Does anyone realize just how much VZW loses money wise, "Millions". These phone are not cheap, non of them. All these huge demands for the latest techno goodies, does anybody also realize that the more techno goodies crammed into the phone the less the signal, and sound quaility is going to be. I would think that would be priority #1 is the sound & signal. These pda, camera, video clip, game, color screen, musical ringtones, what a lot of extra un-needed crap.

Yes.... I can see by the numbers that VZW must be operating in the RED... Loosing $'s big time... On the brink of Bankruptcy...

Oh, I see another whiner boo, who 😢 No VZWay not be on the brink of Bankruptcy, but I'm sure if they were I would be the last to hear about it anyways. The fact of the matter is that all the Wireless providers lose a crap load of money, they pay large chunks of change and sell them for dirt cheap, or for nothing at all.

I direct you to the equipment forums of any other carrier so you can see the reasons why.

Verizon has its stringent requirements because it wants to make sure you don't exchange a phone four times. Does that mean they catch all of the bad ones? Nope. We do have a lower overall replacement rate on equipment than any other provider though.

When was the last time you ever heard of VZW doing a recall on a entire line of phones though? Last I remember was the Audiovox 8900 when it first came out because there was an issue with the first batch sent to us with the batteries being bad from the manufacturer. Since then the phone has performed fantasitcally(other than the low volume speakerphone 😕 ).

We are talking about actual phone lines, not just features. Everytime I see someone complain about this or that phone not having this or VZW having crappy phones I think of that Alltel commercial where the guy is out on a date and he is using the fork on his phone to eat with and then uses the cheese grater part of it to spice up his spaghetti.

Seriously, it is a phone. The mass ...
