now the rumor is that there will be a buy out of alltel by a large carrier...so the question is , will it be verizon?

Holy smokes, What a horror show..

So this is just for starters, I will write more later but talk about dissapointing..

The voice quality on the earpiece is muffled and low quality. The outside caller hears a very degraded voice modulation similiar to some of the cheap samsungs.. The bluetooth is more horrible than you can imagine..

Using the BH600 Nokia which is a nice baseline for quality, the outside caller could barely understand me.. This headsets works pretty well on the 8300,8600 and 8700 ( Not great on the 8600)..

It appears the echo problem with bluetooth is worse than ever. The outside caller hears themself back on their own ear constantly with bluetooth.

Great LG, another problematic phone that most likely will not b...

7.8.07 and no where to be seen. I know it's only 27 minutes after 12, But... When has VZW released a phone on sunday? The only phone coming out is the 8550 on monday. From a pretty reliable source, my guy says nothing is on the horizon except the 8550 for July. NO word on any pda phone anytime soon. He told me there hasn't even been any training on new phones coming soon. Oh well... I'll hang on to my env for a few more months.

I know this is probably a very repetitive question, but does anyone please know any release dates of new PDA's coming out?? If I'm not mistaken it has been well over a year since a new windows based phone has been released with Verizon.

I really hope that they canned several VzW VP's this week! What is going on Vz Wireless??????? I know that you employee's often comb through these forums. BUT ENOUGH already! I am embarrassed at your cheap 15 of one color plastic phones. Today, you even threw out another plastic piece of crap!!! Please learn from the lesson of the iPhone, and get off of the lame defending your excuse train!! You have the network, and corporate GREED prevented many of us from having a top notch phone with a top notch network!!!! YES, I am a loyal VzW customer that is VERY _ISSED!! I do not care who you all have allegiance with, VzW currently has the best network, but ATT/Cingular currently has the best phone. So VzW are you going to continue delay with t...

Any chance Verizon gets the Blackberry Curve ? I passed on going over to AT&T for the iphone but the Curve really interests me. Any word of if and when Verizon may be getting it ?

If we were waiting for a device, what is the absolute earliest a phone could come out without the general population knowing about it.

I would imagine that if the 6800 was coming out the next day, employees would find out at least a few days early? Is there any truth to this, or could VZW employees show up and be shocked the day of?

It's the WHOLE package. Good network, good coverage, good phones, good CS, good billing, decent pricing (though I personally would like to see better).

AT&T= good network, good phones, BAD billing and SLOW, though good CS, good pricing, decent coverage

T-Mobile= good network, good phones, good customer service and billing, good pricing, decent coverage

Sprint= Good phones, good network and coverage, BAD billing and CS, good pricing.

This friends, is it in a nutshell. The reason VZW STILL edges out T-Mobile is COVERAGE. The same reason they always beat the OLD Nextel in terms of a quality experience.

This is a non-biased opinion. I have Sprint (Nextel), so I feel I'm speaking honestly.

Could the verizon line up possibly get any more LAME!!!!!!! 👿 👿 I mean look at it how can anyone seriously defend their pathetic boring wanna stick a fork in my eye line-up!!!! basic clones phones one after another and anything that is promising for the future is just another CLONE!!!!!!! Look they released another piece of crap CLONE moto OMG WTF!!!! I have put up with LAME ass verizon so very long and their phones suck ass, and many don 't work well at all!!!!! I just gotta throw in the towel guys its just to much to bare verizon has lost it!! yeah yeah cheerleaders SAVE it all hard all about how great you are for years, churn, cs blah how give a fig 👿 👿 ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hey I just picked up a treo 700w in mint condition from a customer of mine for $120. I still have my enV but have activated the 700w on my account. I was wondering what are some of the fun stuff I can do on it like custom ringtones & how to maximize the usage on it. Any help would be much appreciated on this matter!

Hey I've got a question. I am on a mailing list from a Verizon agent not in my area. He mentioned in this week's newsletter that Verizon now had unlimited family minutes available for America's Choice, as an option instead of the 250 M2M per share. I checked Verizon's site, but there is no mention of it. Does anyone know if this is something new that will be available at some point, since for us, it would be of more use than the 250 M2M for each share?

Wow...Sprint is so much better than VZW.

At VZW i had the following phones: MOTO KRZR, MOTO e815, LG 8100, Samsung u540.

1. E815 - AWESOME PHONE!!! Best VZW phone of all time in my opinion. I love the speed and quality of Motorola UI. Battery life lasts forever and call quality is better than any VZW phone.

2. 8100 - WORST PHONE EVER!!! Speakers blew. Front screen went white. 2 keys stopped working. Bluetooth is choppy. Battery life sucks. VZW UI sucks. Signal bad.

3. u540 - BAD BAD Battery life. Gotta charge it half way through the day. Annoying speaker phone cuz u gotta reset it every time u use it. Bluetooth choppy. Signal is good though. VZW UI sucks once again. Samsung UI on Sprint and AT&T is bad ass. Too bad :/

So yeah...

Was able to e-mail cropped MP3 to U740 and save as ringtone yesterday (Sunday). Has VZW restored this ability, or was it a fluke?

What is with all the stupid trolls coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden? Is this just the same guy posting under multiple accounts or just the Iphone somehow triggered VZW haters to be dumbasses?

At first I was dissapointed by the feel of the black laminated keys, but the build is awesome, solid and does not need a case. The black rubberized case hasn't shown 1 scratch since April when I got it. The solid hinge with the autofucus is a first for RAZR.

Hold it next to a V3/c/m/xx and you will be comparing plastic against magnesium and hardened glass. I love my Maxx. The V9m has WAY too many tradeoffs to get 2 or 3mm thinner.

"Comprised of aluminium, magnesium and chemically hardened glass displays, the MOTORAZR maxx Ve does more than just reflect your sophisticated style. "

Of course Maxx Ve has full Bluetooth. Nice job, Verizon.

Last week I bought an LG VX8300 cell phone for Verizon, along with a 1 gig memory card for storing pictures and videos.

I then went to the Apple Store and bought a card reader with which I was told I could transfer pix from the card to my iMac without having to use the carrier supported Picture Page, which would charge me for my transfers.

Now I get an email from a Verizon person which is pasted below this text. My question to you is: Is that Verizon tech correct? Is it true that the LG VX8300 will not support my card reader? Because if this is true, then I will return the LG and activate my old Nokia that I was using. -Lorna

The letter from Verizon to me is below:


"Dear Lorna,

SAN JOSE, Calif. - A consumer advocacy group has expressed outrage over Apple Inc.'s battery replacement program for the iPhone, while developers and hackers are trying to figure out ways they could expand the capabilities of the hot new gadget.

The hybrid cell phone, iPod media player and wireless Web-browsing device launched to much fanfare on June 29.

On the same day, the Foundation for Consumer and Taxpayer Rights fired off a letter to Apple and AT&T Inc., the cell phone's exclusive carrier, complaining that customers were being left in the dark about the procedure and cost of replacing the gadget's battery.
