UI, menu appearances now same on all phones?

I am in the painful process of trying to choose a "new-every-two" upgrade to my Audiovox 9900. Don't want music buttons because I'll never use my phone for downloading songs off Verizon's network. Want something mid-level that has excellent durability and reception.

But it seems with all the phones they offer now, you cannot change the menu appearance out of the standard Verizon setup. How is this that they all, regardless of manufacturer, share the same look? My 9900 has lists, which I much prefer to the gawky, child-like cartoons you have to scroll horizontally through.

I'm very surprised just how fantastic the network really is, I've heard similar comments like yours but I haven't experienced any problems while traveling. I haven't looked on the 8400 yet but with my Blade I can force my phone onto roam and pick up a verizon tower anytime I want, but Sprints footprint has been more than adequate for me. I have clearer calls and no commie UI. I'm happy

Well I'm on the family plan same price as verizon 89.99 for two lines but my nights start at 7.00 🙂 Sprints call clarity is amazing it being all digital. They're going through a few growing pains with their merge but that's to be expected, IMO they have the most promising future with everything they offer, and their data lead on the industry.
