Anyone have any phones....
Does anyone have a way to get a phone from Korea or any other CDMA country and have it work for Verizon's network? I don't care about get it now or anything like that...I just want a new device that has a better cam and everything. I have a 9800 and I want something that is more advanced. I have to have something new all the time....Thanks in advance.

damn... okay, realisticaly, no. Now then, how it MIGHT be done:
plan a, the long scam> buddy up with someone working at a vzw store. anyone who can change an esn. get them to enter the esn, then manually change the product code to a similar phone (ie, any camera/flip phone or whatever by the same manufacture) this can sometimes confuse the system and allow it to go through.
plan b, call assult> keep calling customer service until someone can make the esn go through.
now before anyone comments on how improbable either of these options are, remember, my first line was "realisticaly, no"

its a scam because its not honest. verizon only wants authorized poop phones on their network. it would not be honest to try to fool the system.

Its not dishonest! How is it now honest if I want something that has more features than my 9800? I want something that is better....not a bad thing at all.

The fact that you want something superior to verizons ugly lifeless phones is not the dishonest part, believe me I feel your horrendous pain there. The dishonest part would be trying to fool the system and letting an unauthorized phone onto the network. If you want to get away from the ugly ui, or obtain a phone with better features then the 9800, your only choice will be another carrier. I know it sucks 😢 😢

Ok the UI I could care less about. I think it was a good move on Verizon's part. I dont get why people bi$Ch about the UI. The 9800 is the one of the most feature packed phones with out going to a PDA. I am waiting for the Q for that reason. I just played with it today. Its ...

How is it that you have so much time on your hands to monitor this forum all day everyday and do nothing but talk down VZW? Do yo have a job, not a slam just asking? Hell I wish I did not have to work.
All you ever say is that the standard UI is a bad thing, well if you had everyday interaction with customers, as I do, you would know that a very large majority of customers think that the standard UI is great. Most will tell you that they like that better than all of the extra add on features such as cameras and vcast. People like simplicity.
Why do you think that Windows became so popular? It was simple and straight forward. The vast majority of computers sold in the US run a windows operating system, and guess what windows has...

Agreed. I personally think it wont be long before the other carriers start doing it. It is a good idea, simplifies things a lot. My wife just got the razr, and it is the same menu as my LG, I love the fact I dont have to go in and figure out how to run the new phone, it is the same.
Just wait, this is coming to other carriers in the future. I know how much I like this, I cant imagine how much a rep will like this when they are walking customers thru phone issues.
