Not sure if this has already been posted but here's a YouTube video I found (posted April 6). The audio and visual are subpar. **sidenote** I noticed it had Word Mole as a game--great game to play when you're trying to kill time. Enjoy

🤤 When will the Bold come to verizon?

From page 19 of the April 5, 2009 NY Times Sunday Magazine:

I Hate My iPhone

The true story of a technological dissenter.

The iPhone was charging. Refined, introverted, mysteriously chilled, my new $200 tile of technology lay supine on a side table, gulping power from the wall.

Actually, the iPhone probably sips, like a lipsticky girl with a vodka drink. It usually does things in a cute way. Whatever. At 4 in the morning, I was in bed, fighting rage. I couldn’t stop thinking about that device’s tarty little face and those yapping “apps” you can download for it. The whole iPhone enterprise seemed to require so much attention, organization, explanation, praise, electricity. I know - I know: in th...

does this work off voip?

will the screen detach to be used as an Internet tablet?

any other info is appreciated

thanks

My ex-wife asked me to check to see if there are any new pink phones coming out in the near future on Verizon. Anybody know?

I hope the rumor that the moron at VZW who turned down the iPhone is "no longer with the company" is accurate. I've seen reports that AT&T is working on a major upgrade of its 3G network to get ready for a massive (some say 10 fold) increase in iPhone data traffic likely because of the ability of the next gen iPhone to video conference.

I'm not an Apple fanboy but video conferencing using a cellphone is absolutely amazing from a coolness perspective -- this may turn all the new iPhone users into AT&T walking commercials making others want to buy one.

Its a shame that VZW couldn't have been the first company to introduce cell/video calling. Do we have anything on the way which could also video conference?

I'm a little out of the cellular loop... I remember hearing a rumor in 2007 saying that by the end of 2009 all phones will be unlocked and you will be able to use any phone on any work. Has anyone heard any other details about that?

I am hoping something better comes along soon. I think after this smartphone, I may want to downgrade to a regular phone.

Is there a new curve coming out and when? I wonder which will be better . The new curve or the Niagara (bold).

Hey all thanks for reading.....

Basically when I am up for my NE2 I was seriously looking at the Storm 2 cause I was messing around with the whole clicking thing and its actually pretty cool. However recently I read that Verizon is coming out with something called the BB Niagra and its looks eerily familiar to the BB Bold....Now can someone kind of point me in a direction. The Storm felt really comfortable in my hands when I was messing with it, but am not too sure if the BB Niagra's buttons will be big enough for my pudgy fingers, (I had the BB Curve and was very uncomfortable with that)

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you all!!

Does anyone know why VZW does not offer a service to block unknown/restricted callers? I get at least 4-5 calls a week asking for this service, everybody I know subscribes to it on their landline.

Its not like this is some snazzy new feature requiring all kinds of complicated programming and cutting edge equipment (landlines have had this for decades). Since the ringback tone service can have caller id based customization it would seem to be an easy service to implement. It also must not be very expensive to run since I just saw it offered for no charge as part of a voicemail suite by a free site youmail.com.

Any ideas?

As of right now, the new Storm that will be out sometime in Sept. will have WiFi. This may be the first CDMA BlackBerry with WiFi unless the Pearl Flip has it.

Cool huh?

So I have a storm, never had an issue with mine(one of the few) I downloaded BB App World and my Storm is all JAMMED UP!!!!

I missed you. Because for a long time you kept it real for me and offered very informative info. I need some advice again. This July i am up for my new every 2. I am looking for something along the lines of the Voyager. I see 2 phones coming down the pike from Motorola that seems to do the job. They are the new Evoke and the A455 the "Rival" or might be called the rush2. Would you reccomend either 1 of those for me. Also do you know roughly what ea of these phones might go for price wise thanks again. If there is any other of my Phonescoop freinds that have helped me on here have any advice as well im all ears. Thanks again!!

Verizon is having a great sale on the Moto Krave; I see a lot of bad comments about it but it seems like a nice solid simple phone with the basics.

Can anyone please comment?

Also, it says you can download the latest software over the air; anyone know the latest update? Has the phone gotten better?

thanx

When will Verizon take over Alltel in SC? I live in Spartanburg/Greenville area. Once the two are merged, will my phone still show Alltel on the screen when I turn it on, and will the web still be Alltel, or will an OTA update change it all to Verizon software? Also, what if I owe Verizon a bill that I have disputed for the last year that isn't correct? Is that going to close my Verizon service when they do merge?

When and if this comes out on the 10th will this be the first PDA introduced with GPS built in that Verizon did not disable?

Does anyone know if Verizon has a PTT BlackBerry in the works?? I would be a fan for sure!

A friend of mine heard an ad on the radio for a phone for Verizon much like the IPHONE. Any ideas on what it is?
