The Motorola Devour is coming to the Indirect channel on the 25th. We get them in stock tomorrow. It will be released in Corp stores and online on 3/15.

Nexus One or the Droid IMO.

Just remember, no NE2 on the Nexus One (most likely) and no discount on family plans (again most likely)

IMO In my opinion


Those (Droid Nexus) are the two strongest Android phones on the market imo (any carrier).

LOL 🤣

Im sorry i didnt understand internet lingo. The Nexus One looks sweet...I think thats going to be my next phone...I was salivating over the Storm 2 and then realized that its older technology inside the phone.....The Nexus One is all good.....Does it have the full HTML browser like the Droid by Motorola?

unless you are using a company blackberry server or have lots of friends to use blackberry messanger with, I would avoid blackberry.

as for the htlm browser, I am pretty sure all android phones will have full html browsers, it wouldnt make sense to make one without it.

Interesting.. I like the idea of the "just make it free, require more per month" idea, though Verizon's (and I'm assuming other companies) payouts to agents would have to change to compensate for the much larger hit up front (the rogue was a losing proposition when I left.. dont want to know what it is now).

I guess you could work something out on the flip for this too.. bring your device (or pay retail) and you can pick pretty much any plan (though something would have to be done about smartphone data.. maybe pay for it or get it blocked?)

So you would have a Either/Or Dichotomy which would actually be kinda nice, though I think family plans would also drastically change (maybe something where individual plans would be combined i...

I would prefer an unsubsidized market. But in a business where carriers feel warm and fuzzy because of contracts, this might be a good alternative. I've heard a lot about some of the European and African systems. They seem to have contracts in six month increments through three years, and the term you sign for dictates the monthly pricing you pay. In a world where the carrier's not likely to give up on contracts any time soon, this might be a workable alternative. You either pay more for an unsubsidized phone, or you pay a similar amount through higher monthly cost.
