Dec 2, 2007, 9:06 AM
Oh, sorry... I actually went an' counted, and VZW has actually released 16 new phones since late August, i.e. in the last three months.

I just miss all the "Verizon never ever releazes anyee new fones!!!" dumbass posts. ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah, but are any of these new phones "cool"?

That's the important distinction, y'know.

We can still safely say that no new "cool" phones are being released.

Maybe if Verizon had Henry Winkler promoting them, they would be "cool".

Nah, forget that. He probably can't fit in his leather jacket anymore.

Just because they release a bunch of handsets doesn't make their phones any more appealing.

The Venus and the Voyager are not off the chain cool to me, nothing but a rehashed chocolate and env, big whoop! For those interested in rehashed phones its been quite exciting quarter though.

I wouldn't use that "Verizon continues to mop the floor with AT&T" clause, because it's far from the truth.
First, I'm sorry if you haven't heard of Business Travel. Try to find out about them with the help of GOOGLE. There's reading material that doesn't always evolve around the wireless industry; much less verizon.

Second, to say that Vz mopped AT&T is ridiculously funny. Did you even read their quarter results? Both companies posted very similar total revenues. Here, let me help you.

AT&T = $10.9 billion
Vz = $11.3 billion

I could go on about net adds and all, but I refuse to drop to your level. It's obvious you love your Vz service, but do not underestimate AT&T, because you come across (to me) as an immature fanboy.

This is what I said:

So then you try to refute it by changing the subject to revenues, and how ATT is only losing to VZW by a little there? C'mon.

And yeah, no one's ever heard of Business Traveller magazine, Google or not. I can Google up the the mating habits of African fruit flies, doesn't make it front page news. ๐Ÿคฃ

But hey, who knows, maybe Cat Fancy magazine will take a shine to ATT and you can brag about that. That will TOTALLY show up Consumer Reports and JD Power, LOL.

And you trust more the survey which was put together by some mag, than the actual performance of the companies?
Well, I guess it's easier for you to do what you do. I really don't get it, but if it works for you... Btw, the survey praises Tmobile. However, they continue to have one of the highest churn levels in the industry. This is something I have never been able to understand, because as a former Tmobile user I had a great experience on their network in FL.

Revenue is only one aspect of performance. There's also customer churn, ARPU (avg revenue per user), data ARPU, profits, capex, etc.

Oh, and that survey that was put together by 'some mag' was a compilation of over 47,000 user responses... statistically, MORE than good enough to get an accurate snapshot of how the carriers were doing. So why would you put Consumer Reports down? Only because ATT didn't do well in the survey?

Maybe ATT flunkies should stop complaining about Consumer Reports, and instead focus on improving ATT's service? Fix the cause and stop comp...

Can you name one phone on any US carrier that isnt based on some previous phone?

Every phone is based on some previous design, no phone is original. Its just a matter of what features were put on it...

New phones with added features is what people are wanting, and that is what is coming out.. So I am not sure what point you are trying to make. You are trying to point out that you arent interested in phones?

No one at VZW is begging you to stay... the rep giving you offers to keep the line is a requirement for them to pass the call. Marketing might send you some new offers in the mail, but those arent begging either, they are calculated risks made by people in the finance department that just crunch numbers and have probably never spoke to a customer.

Those offers are designed for customers that are leaving because of something small where they might not know VZW policies and for customers leaving on a whim just to try another carrier as it is a waste of money to have customers leave and then come back.
