BB Vs. Windows

I’m thinking of getting the Storm but I’m also thinking of maybe getting the HTC Touch Pro if Verizon gets it. Why do people like the Window base phones?? What do they do over a BB?? Can you open outlook on a BB?? I though I would ask all you ppl so I can hear the pro and cons

Thanks 😁

New Rebates...new phones

New rebates have been posted effective 11-16-08 to 01-31-09. New phones listed include LG VX9600, Nokia 2605 Mirage, Nokia 7205 Intrigue (and there are two UPC numbers for this phone so I suspect we'll get two different colors), Samsung Renown, Verizon Wireless CDM7076, Verizon Wireless CDM8975, Verizon Wireless CDM8950, and...the XV6850 is offically listed as the HTC Touch Pro.

Sirius Satellite Radio Coming To Verizon? Live MP3 Streams Possible?

I heard from someone that works for Verizon Wireless; that the company is looking into the idea of offering Sirius Satellite Radio in the near future. Does anyone know if this is really going to happen? If Verizon does start offering this feature, it could possibly also allow for Free MP3 Streaming radio as well. Alltel currently offers Streaming Radio and they are about ready to be bought-out by Verizon. So once Verizon owns Alltel; they also own Alltel's agreements with other companies.

I have never used an Alltel phone; so I don't know how the streaming fully works. But I know when I had Sprint, that I could stream pretty much any MP3 stream using a Standard-Media-Phone.

So I just want to see if Verizon is really thinking about off...

Question about Blackberry plans

Hi

I plan on getting the BB Storm when it comes out. I have never had a blackberry before and i am currently on a family voice plan.

I notice that there are two choices to add a blackberry data plan to my current plan. One is called "blackberry email and web" for 29.99 a month and the other is "blackberry solution" for 45.99 a month.

I plan to use my new phone for email as well as a lot of web and also i want to tether it to my laptop.

Which plan should i get?

What is the difference between them?

Are there data limits?

(I couldnt find these answers on the VZW site haha)

Thanks

Storm GPS

Storm will have VZNavigator GPS AND Blackberry Maps w/ GPS service.

Verizon will label one as an assisted GPS system and the other as a standalone GPS system.

So, yes, the Storm will have a fully-functional Blackberry Maps program.

No, this is not conjecture. I had a very long sit-down with the device today.

Storm "Plans"

Like many current Verizon customers, the Storm potential has me interested. Any idea on plan costs?

On the Vodaphone UK website the presentation is 'better' than their US cousin's and plan pricing is listed.

Examples:

Phone is "Free"- 18 month Contract
1500 mins and unlimited texts
Unlimited Mobile Internet and BlackBerry email
55 pounds = $84.00

Phone is "Free" - 18 month Contract
600 mins and Unlimited texts
Unlimited Mobile Internet and BlackBerry email
40 pounds= $61.00

Question about Verizon (Help Reps!!)

Ok, so I've been hyped for about 5 months now waitin on the Bold from ATT, only to find out that with the STEEP price tag and my renewal not up until Feb, it's just out of my reach. So with news of the Storm being only a week away from release, and the great price they're launching, I need some help deciding on whether to switch.
I've tried going through their site, but can't really get a true estimate of what my motnhly plan would cost for a Family Plan on the Blackberrys.
I currently have 2 lines with ATT one is a blackberry, my hubby has the Iphone, we both have data plans. We get 1400 shared min a month, nights and weekends (9pm), and 1500 texts each. I pay around $175 month for all this plus we have tons of rollover minutes because...

So.......is that it?

I'm all for the next "it" phone for the holidays. It seems for Verizon, at least, the "it" phone of the season is the Storm. Can anyone hint as to whether there are other Verizon iphone competitors coming out this year? Unfortunately, I'm not a Blackberry fan.

Thanks in advance to those in the know.

Moto Q9M

Just wondering...
Do you have to have a Data plan to for the Q9M to work. I have the Dare currently and i have the 15.00 data package on that. Can that act as my data plan?

I just got a really good deal on this phone, but wasnt sure if i had to have the Data package of 29.99 or 49.99. and if i do i'll prolly just end up selling it.

Just thought i'd ask.

Thanks!

BB Storm Marketing Blitz finally! And yes it will be out this weekend!!!

The Storm is definitely coming out by this weekend. It doesnt take a rocket scientist genius to figure this out. So disregard any bs that anyome here says its delayed cause of this or that, or that Best buy hasnt officialy confirmed 11/16 or that Grandma got run over by a reindeer so it wont be out til Black Friday, blah blah blah....

The plain and simple fact of all the marketing hype going in this week is a definite indicator youy will see the Storm in best Buy this Sunday and VZ stores on Monday.

Marketing:
1) All this week there is a treasure hunt in NYC to find their Storm stuff and win a storm.

2) This Thursday there will be a giant booth setup in the middle of Times Square allowing streetgoers to see and touch the new Storm....

AT&T v. Verizon Wireless

The long time rivals from opposite ends of town go head to head. Who wins this Homecoming matchup? Its the orange and blue versus the red and black. Who has ultimately the better service? Thread posted on both AT&T and Verizon forums. Fight!

Signal strength on LG Dare

Why are the signal meters on the LG Dare not consistant with each other? The EV signal always seems stronger than the 1X signal. Shouldn't this be consistant?
