A way of helping to explain AvgJoe

Have you all seen the AT&T forum? It's deader than a passenger in a car driven by Ted Kennedy. Halfway down the page there are threads that were last updated in March. He can't help it, peoples. He gets soooo bored waiting for people to join him in his mockery of the iPhone that he has to come over here and try and direct people into iPhone related conversations that allow him to mock it some more. Some AT&T fans please help him out by posting over there! It would be greatly appreciated.

I should also point out here that he does have one good point: aside from the phones Verizon has that AT&T users want, Verizon doesn't have any phones that AT&T users want.

one truth you should know about vzw before you switch to them.

so its a fact now; if you are a new or old customer and want to try out verizon service for 30days and for some reason you need to exchange the phone for a different phone vzw will charge you $20.00. I mean this company keeps on becoming greedy and greedy.. at&t gives you the real 30 day refund policy and they dont charge you for exchanging phones.

What phone do customers wish to see from AT&T in the VZW line up (for VZW employees)

Other than the iPhone, when speaking to customers ... they say things like "oh I wish VZW carried that AT&T phone" and etc. What are some of the phones that you (and VZW customers - potential and current) wish to see in the VZW phone line up that is available for AT&T?

Curve Reception

For years, I have had to keep phones with AT&T and Verizon, because Verizon had no coverage in my town but AT&T had no coverage where my daughter lives. Last weekend, Verizon finally got coverage in my town. Although I know you can't directly compare bars on phones for signal strenth, nonetheless Verizon's signal is not quite as strong as AT&T's in my house (it is fine everywhere else). With a 3 year old Motorola flip phone, I go between 0 and 1 bar with some static in some parts of the house. I want to ditch AT&T and go with Verizon and have considered getting the Curve. Would it have as good reception as the Motorola? If not, do you have any other PDA phone suggestions?

Verizon Wireless

SERVICE REVIEW: VERIZON WIRELESS
I have decided to review a favorite service that I take advantage of and so should everyone else. My cellular phone service carrier is Verizon Wireless and I have been a loyal customer since 2003. Since I first hesitantly signed the contract until today I have not been disappointed, not even once. I am not saying that Verizon Wireless is perfect but they are a company designed with the customer at the top. It has met beyond all my expectations.
First of all, they have the greatest national service in America and I know this from personal experience. I travel quite often because of the varying locations of where people in my family live. Whether I am in Boston with my girlfriend visiting her parents, v...

I Escaped From The Big Red Matrix

It's time for the big red apple skin to be peeled off and expose that it's beginning to rot.

It's absolutely nothing wrong with the network, or the phones. The problem is the incompetent leadership which goes all the way to the top. A befuddling disregard for employees personal lives, and a disgustingly haughty attitude will be what lumps them together with massive corporations who they claim to battle against. "Fighting beauracracy". Please...

If you have hit a glass ceiling get out right now because you are not going anywhere. Did you enjoy our 29% paycut this year? How about your new quota? Look how they rewarded you for making money for them and yourself. Now it's impossible to reach your goals. Oh look you hit a decelerator, no mo...

Issue with the Flip Shot

I am having an issue with my Flip shot where the raised part of the keypad is leaving scratches on the inner screen, its like you can see all the buttons engraved into the inner screen. just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue. Talked with someone in tech support and they had never heard of this issue before, just wondering what this might be from.

Blackberry Thunder

So VZW is getting this new BB first (hopefully exclusively) and VZW folks are really happy. This is going to be a pretty cool phone and i would think most BB fans would be pretty excited about it too (except for the FEW that truly object to the touch screen). Here is what I find interesting, since it is launched on VZW most people who don't like VZW are hating on this phone, if it was for AT&T I'm sure they would be excited and rubbing it in our faces. 🙄

Can't we all just get along? 🤣

Anything wrong with selling upgrade phone on eBay?

I just got an upgraded phone on new-every-two, but I'm perfectly happy with my old one. So I thought I'd sell the new one on eBay. I haven't activated it yet.
Are there any gotchas? Like is the new phone somehow tied to my account and when the new buyer activates it, they have my phone number or something? Or I will get billed for their calls?
When I bought it from verizonwireless.com, I had to say which cellular number went with that phone. (I bought for the whole family at once.)
Thanks!

HELP!!!.....Frustrated with my BB8830

Hello.

I am wondering if anyone can help me with this. Very frustrated with my BB8830. Basically, I am having problem with the "Loose" charging port. I am on my 3rd or 4th BB8830 and after a while the charging ports get very loose from daily loose. One time, they gave me a phone with messed up lcd screen. I take good care of my blackberry and keep it out of harms way but this seems to be a repeating problem for me. I also signed a 2 year contract last june along with the phone and I do not want the 8830 anymore and my warranty is running out so I am looking to get into the new Curve...

Can someone tell my what my options are??? Would really appreciate your help.

Signal Notification on the EnV 9900

How do you stop the signal notification (the audible notification) that says "lost service". I need to know how to turn this notification off.

Thanks I hope this has not been posted before I really did not feel like looking through all the post.

Wall Street Journal Confirms BlackBerry Thunder
Posted In: News & Rumors | By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: 16 May 2008 | 0 comments

BlackBerry Thunder?!Disclaimer: YES that is a Photoshop. :-)

Earlier this week we brought details from the BG on the rumored BlackBerry Thunder touchscreen smartphone.

After reading those rumors, it seems the Wall Street Journal has gone on to do some investigatory journalism and has confirmed some of the details earlier reported.

WSJ has confirmed the BlackBerry Thunder will launch as a Verizon and Vodafone exclusive, but unlike BG did not confirm that this would be a life-time exclusive. And while the WSJ confirms the Thunder will have a touchscreen, they did not confirm that the Thunder would be compl...
