Saga Question

Will this phone play Youtube? What should I look for in the specifications to determine if a phone can do youtube?

Sure wish it had a 3.5 earphone jack.

Ouch...that's gonna hurt

From Best Buy website -

CORRECTION NOTICE

On page 20 of the November 16-22 weekly ad, we advertised the Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Storm as available on November 16. Due to factors outside our control, the release date has been delayed to November 23. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

I wonder if Best Buy got bagged for listing the Storm on their website early!?!?! They lose 2 days of sales to direct stores.

I wonder how this will affect that Storm release date bet cwcanty had?

New pricing packages effective 11/16/08

I read on another website about new pricing packages similar to those that Sprint offers are going into effect on 11/16/08. Can anyone who works for VZW elaborate? Do these pricing packages only work on non pda / smart phones?

Thanks in advance!

NEW CUSTOMER - MAYBE A LG DARE ISSUE?

I am a new customer. I have the lg dare. I was just wondering if the LG DARE is as good as any other phone for pulling in signal, I live in a garden apartment, and just left us cellular.

I noticed in general that Us Cellular got a better signal on MOTOROLA and BLACKBERRY but NOT LG. Is this the case with Verizon As Well. Because I'm really not that impressed with the signal quality of the dare, it will be sitting in one spot and go from EV 1x. TO 1x only to 4 bars EV and 1 bar 1x. back to just 1x.

Would the voyager be better?

Would the storm be better?

Would the SAGA be better?

I am trying to get a REALLY nice phone from the beggining, because I am an avid phone switcher lol and as money is tight, I would like to avoid th...

hands on with blackberry storm

so we had a blackberry training today, and the rep from rim had a storm, she passed it around and let us play for a few mins. i have to say im impressed and not. the phone is HEAVY! like 2 dares. the screen looks amazing, and the phone, imo, is a lot sexier then the iphone.

the screen is crisp and bright. the screen does click, like the keyboard or trackball of the curve. hers was pre-production (which is funny to me cause she told us some vz reps in texas had newer ones, and she works for rim lol). i pulled up the keyboard in a text message and it is actually cool to type on. it feels like a flat keyboard since you can click it. i think it will def be worth the wait, and she said 'sometime in november' so the best buy thing from boygeniu...

What can I do?

I currently have the EnV with a 59.99 plan and a USB Modem with the 5GB plan. I am spending about $140.00 a month. I want to get the Storm, but I still have another 16 months on my USB Modem. Is there anything I can do to get rid of my Modem without an ETF and then upgrade my Env to a Storm. I want to try to spend about 100 a month instead of 140. Please help?

Black Friday deals?

Does anyone know if Verizon is gonna have any Black Friday deals this year and, if so, what those deals will be?

I saw that Circuit City is gonna have the enV2 for $50 w/a new contract on Black Friday, which didn't seem that great to me, since Wirefly has it right now for free.

thoughts on buying phones online

Basically.. to keep the story short..

My girlfriends phone is starting to mess up, and she is going to need a new one soon. However, the line won't be eligible for an upgrade for almost a year since it's the secondary line on the fam share plan.

Even the basic phones bought outright from Verizon are expensive, so I was thinking about getting a phone off eBay. I see new Moto W755's going for around 150+ which seems like a pretty good deal considering they're $240 at VZW without a contract.

My first though was to just add insurance on the phones, and when it finally does break.. get another to replace it. But she doesn't like the phone much anyways, and is wanting one with a memory card slot(and maybe a megapixel camera too).

Is ...
