also you named GSM carriers. Those phones you think are so good may only be avaialbe for GSM. Remember most phones are not made by american compaines except maybe moto and the rest of the world is mostly on the crappy GSM netowrk. So they tend to get more newer phones.

GSM phones are much less expensive to make. The mindset of many phone makers is simple. Try it out at a lower cost and if it is successful possibly convert it to CDMA. I'm predicting in the future we will see a lot more CDMA/GSM combined handsets. A few companies have enough resources to make the CDMA versions, hence the creation of proprietary equipment.

would love to see GSM/CDMA handsets if they change the way you can use it. For example if they allow you to use GSM while in the states. AS of now they do not!

I'm pretty sure we'll see it in the future. When, or if FCC makes manufactures unlock phones to use for all carriers.

Havent ordered any yet, cant afford to take the hundred and eighty dollar loss on each to match verizons pricing, have to wait till our cost drops a little, cant compete on that phone right now

have you had a chance to use it?

Sorry but not yet

I'm in the same situation. That, and I'm trying to get my old chocolates gone. I'm down to 2 left. We do have a $50 spiff on new activations for the new chocolate, so that helps us with the new acts once we get it.

Im done with my old chocolates, but no spiff on the new ones here, which sucks, we could actually loose money on selling the new chocolates at Verizons price.

Yeah, that sucks. I'm glad I'm where I am in the country. It seems like we usually have spiffs on things like this and you don't. That would make it really tough.

Yeah, you get all the good spiffs, we get, well, nothing. 😢

Uh, what about the other 10 or so that I mentioned?

bye, hopefully it works and you will go away

🤣 😳 🤣

Mean, but understandable.

Oh well, if Plat has 'strike two' with Sprint (strike one was ATT) there's always T(een)-Mobile.

I know and I usually am not like that but get sick of seeing plat complain about everything verizon.

😢 poor baby free country ace deal with it, hopefully sprint will work well. cya homo

good one there calling me a homo. thats like me saying your mom as a comeback. but you did make me chuckle a little.

Plat does b*tch on and on, doesn't he? Oh well.

Still, if he finds another carrier that works well for him, he's gone, and if he strikes out everywhere else, he should finally develop an appreciation for how good the VZW network is.

Should be a win-win, either way, unless he's a stark raving dumbass.

Thanks for support Shock!! 🤣 If sprint doesn't work out, I will have no choice but to appreciate verizon.

No prob. 😎

And like I said, there's always T(een)-Mobile.

ets hope so

All these are VZW exclusives or were "first" to Verizon

🤣 🤣 Ugly Clones! I just signed up for SERO hopefully it works well so I can get away from these disgusting phones.

If you think phones like the LG 8700 or New Chocolate are ugly, you need glasses or lasik or something. 😲

Good luck with Sprint, though. Check the indoors reception with them very carefully... that's been their main issue in my experience. Hope it works out fo...

Enjoy. I'll send you some sites for free TeleNav, streaming local radio, satalite music stations, tv stations, and a lot of other free apps.

I have to disagree. I think sprints network is on par wtih verizon. I think they provide much more as terms of data on theirs. However sprint sucks in CS and Advertisment. I am not a srpint fanboy as I am pissed at them and droped them for billing reasons. I have had both sprint and verizon and have neither now. This is jsut my un bias opionion!

I hope so I have a phone coming in the mail, Sprint is my last chance to get away from verizon phones 🙂

Like I said I hate sprint right now. I wouldn't have them if they gave me free service but that is NOT because of their network or the services they provide. That I can say out of all the carriers I have had and I have had them ALL was top of the list. Its the way they do business and treat their customers! But it all depends on were you live. Also. But that is with every carrier. But no one can prove to me that verizon's network is untouchable when it comes down to facts. And sorry 61 million users does not prove it to me. It proves they have an awsome advertising dept. And a respectable name that people conect with!

I think infomgr is an internal program for verizon, I dont think consumers have access to it.

aok! thanks for the reply!
