Several years ago, if one dialed *228, option 2 while out of his home area, it screwed up the programing of the phone and you had to have your phone reflashed at the Verizon dealer. I know, I found this out the hard way. Does anyone know whether this is still the case, or can *228, option 2 now be dialed from outside your home area without screwing up the phone's programing?

From ZDNet today:

According to information released by Apple, the iPhone will not sync to Outlook or allow you to sync with other 3rd party PIM applications, will not allow you to view or edit Office documents, may not work as a modem for a MacBook or laptop, only responds to skin touch with no fingernail or stylus response, can only be used with Cingular (maybe for as long as 2 years), has a closed Mac OS X variant operating system, has no removable battery, has no memory expansion slot, has no GPS, and currently has no voice dialing capability.

I have had several Motorolas and they have all had great reception and call quality...(I am aware alot of people think they are POS and have a plethora of quality control problem)

But I am going to be in the market for a new phone soon and I was wondering what each manufacturer is known for? Example...Motorolas have great reception and no so great battery life....and supposedly Samsungs do not have that great of reception....just wondered what people have experienced.

Does anyone have a date when it will be in stores?

Please help!! I'm trying to decide between the two. They both do what I want. I've read the reviews, but is there anything else; good or bad that I need to know? Thanks in advance!!

I might be canceling my service sometime in the next few weeks. I'm still in contract so I would be paying an ETF. I can't remember how to calculate the ETF prorations. Is it -$5 per month since the contract started? I'm drawing a blank.

I went into a Best Buy store, made my purchase and showed my employee badge to get a discount (figuring that since Best Buy emp's get a discount on our service, I would get something on their's) well the clerk said she couldn't take my badge and then the manager said we (vzw emps) don't get any discounts with Best Buy! WTF?! 👿 I then researched and found that vzw emps don't get any discounts with Circuit City either!

Thanks

I am really itching to get a new phone. Let me rephrase that - I'm really itching to get the Touch, but I'm tired of waiting for what appears to be "vaporware". Everyone only has rumors to go by. So, here's what I want to know:

1. Do you have to buy the phone with a data plan?

2. Does anyone have a real date for availability?

3. Is white going to be the only color available at launch?

4. Its now been established that the unit does GPS, but are we going to be forced to use VZW Navigator, or can we use one of the GPS programs made for Windows Mobile?

Heard a spot on the radio today for the new Sprint $99 Simply everything taking a shot at Verizon & ATT. It said they were stuck in 1997 if they think the only thing people use their cell phones for is talking. Then went on to list everything you get for $99 with Sprint. Was actually done very well. Got my attention. It did sound like this is a promotion that will run thru the end of May. Didn't know if anyone here knew if the Unlimited plans on VZW are for a limited time or not.

Have you heard anything about the Curve coming to Verizon? 😁

any nice sales coming up?

Its in the works

I'm am new to phone scoop. I have had my razr for 17 months. The charge on the phone wont charge and its hard for me to get a single to dial out. Took the phone to a vzw store. They wont help me. They said I needed to buy a new phone at retail price. I really don't want to do that since I have had the phone for so long. What can I do? I love the service but my phone is awful

i have the silver EnV (LG 9900) i was woundering if there is any way to use the flash function on this phone as a flash light.
in other words is there any way to get the flash to constantly stay on.

if anyone knows how to do this please tell me. thanks 😁

~JAKE~

Any word on when this phone will be released?

Thanks

That serves you right, newtothis30! 🤣

I was wondering if at&t would be releasing a phone like the LG enV or like the Samsung SGH-d307... Thanks
