Verizons mobile tv has been out for a good while now. Sprints tv is not the same as mobile tv it is more like vcast. Know yer facts. Mobile tv is live and simul or multicast. It wont be on the thunder either. Figure out your priorities when it comes to a phone.

yeah i have used sprint TV, it's not nearly as good as MediaFlow!

Nope...sorry bro. First off, I've been with Verizon for years. I dont want to switch. So I'm avoiding that at all costs. But my sister has a pink Centro and her Sprint TV is 100% live TV. There is about a 5 second delay from whats on the actual TV. We tested it out and there was live streaming TV for almost 20 channels like Spike, MTV, ESPN, Fox, CNN, Disney, Discovery, Comedy Central, E, VH1, Fox Sports, etc. But I can assure you that the Centro has live TV as on regular cable.

I like watching TV on my 50 inch Sony, but really guy the answer is a no go, can't see any reason to discuss it further. good luck.

When you start traveling and you're on the road for your career without access to a TV...50 inch is good enough

the Thunder will not have TV...look go to the provider that meets your needs..you can't say i NEED but then be unwilling to switch. Just hit up Sprint and get your TV...no biggie.

Peace out and enjoy your TV!

It's not easy to switch when you've been with a company for so long. You try to stay loyal and find what you need within that company. Customer care had no clue...thats why I'm here asking.

i understand and now you know the answer. 😉

I still didnt get any phone models that have TV.

The Voyager is going be the closest thing to a PDA that gets TV, it has a full HTML browser and you have 3 plans to choose from for the Mobile TV package. We do have several phones that have Mobile TV, but none on the PDA's, sorry.

CS doesn't have the info because they have not had the training on the Centro that has not been released yet. I am sorry, that you can't get the answer you need, but training should be this week and the release should be next week, so if can be patient, I am sure your can get answers.
BTW if you are only looking for TV and Internet, have you looked at the Voyager? This is just a suggestion and I know there are people who love or hate the Voyager, but if you don't need the rest of the PDA/Blackberry features, you can still have HTML and TV- that is if you live a mobile TV service area.
Good luck in your quest! 😉

Awesome. Thanks. Someone just told me about the Voyager. I wasn't aware it had full HTML. I'm not looking to sync up email or anything. Just web and TV as I will be on the road a lot without computer or TV. Guess I need some sort of entertainment.

One thing- since you are on the road - be aware that you will not get TV service in all locations. You can check the coverage map on the VZW website. Have a great day.

Be sure to carefully check out the HTML experience of the Voyager to make sure it meets your needs, because i think it sucks.

Verizon launched tv service about two years ago in a Venture w/ MediaFlo. It has been in relatively limited markets.

No pda's to my knowledge currently support Vcast Tv, so you would be stuck with those that can play You Tube and Windows Media Files. The BB Curve did a pretty good job of playing video, from what I saw, and I imagine the VX6800 would, as well.

You can get a third party app for the PDAs so you can watch TV on them via internet. It won't be broadcasted like MediaFLO devices though because that requires additional hardware.

I forgot about that app. The last I heard about it was from a palm rep about a year and a half ago, and at the time it was considered a prohibited service on our network.

Based on those wants then you should get the voyager. Qwerty internet and tv. More phones dont have mediaflo for tv because the market isnt really there. There isnt a big selection on there for mediaflo on vzw or att yet. Not until qualcomm gets more licensing agreements. You have to decide what is a want and what is a need.

Ah...the Voyager has TV?? Nice! Thanks bro. I will check that one out. I'm going to be in town with a major strip of stores so I'm sure I can find a Verizon store. I appreciate your help.

Thank you! We're trying to be nice but it's difficult!

Its just BB2709 or average joe. The tone is the same.

yeah so is this one

yeah, its a shame to see this forum go down the tubes.

I guess the mods value free speech at the expense of losing all control of their website/forums

I'd say they value their time more than anything else. Forums are a pita.

"forums are a pita"---what does that mean.

And they could spend 10 min a day cleaning up this forum (closing threads, deleting troll post, etc)

It could be done--they just have to do it.

P.I.T.A. Pain in the a$$. And it takes a lot more than 10 mintues to moderate a forum. This isn't the only forum with trolls, which is plain when you visit the ATT forum and find the Verizon guys playing in there. Everytime you moderate a post you get at least one or two guys who try to waste your time by demanding to know why it is moderated- usually by opening yet another thread.

Can you have effective moderation? Absolutely, but to do so would require a full time mod or two, above and beyond the administration that Rich does.

Fair enough. You're prolly right about the 10 minutes thing. but when a large portion of your website is built around a variety of user forums you would think they would put the time and effort into some of your more higly active forums.

The better the forums are, the better this website will become. which ultimately equals more hits and revenue for the owners.

I don't disagree with you there, and I think Rich will eventually swing that way. It may take awhile though, as most of your successful review sites are front page/content driven and the forums are relative loss leaders for them. Necessary to the health and popularity of the site, but still a loss.

Lets hope they do swing...until then, I guess its just more troll accts 🙄
