Touchscreen Watchphone will it sell...?

Will this come to the US? will it sell? is it an innovation? or a waste of time?

quad-band GSM while packing a 1.5-inch touchscreen with itty bitty, built-in stylus; Bluetooth 2.0; and all the 120 x 160 pixel MP4 video (or MP3/AAC audio) you can pack into its 128MB of storage. The watch weights just 60-grams and should hold-up to about 200 minutes of talk or 80 hours standby before needing a USB recharge

Had to restrain myself the other day

I was in my local VZW corporate store the other day with my parents and sister upgrading our family plan (I'm the primary line). There was another customer there that was having problems with a Treo (not sure which model). From what I gathered, he wanted the rep (his tag said "Manager" on it) to not only replace his Treo with another but he also wanted a different device (there was a Blackberry box on the counter) as he was not satisfied with the quality of the Treo. The rep, correctly IMO, told him that he just couldn't do that. The guy was trying to bitch enough to get what he wanted but the rep stood firm and would not let him out of the store with more than one device.

I had to hold myself back from trying to jump in and help the ...

NE2 Expiration

Hi everyone,
I read on the VZW website:
Information for Existing Customers
If you enrolled in the program on or after 11/25/02, you must take advantage of the New Every Two offer within six months of becoming eligible; otherwise, you may be charged full retail price to upgrade your current handset.

So does this mean that if I was eligible on Jan 1, if I don't use my NE2 it expires on June 1? Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Thanks!

exchanging a phone

does it cost verizon money when a customer exchanges a phone several times within the 30 day test drive period? or does the phone company (LG, Motorola etc....) eat the cost....sorry if this is a stupid question 🙂

Phones for Great Reception on Military Base

Hi, I have not posted on this forum before although I read the forum quite a bit for information. I am about to renew my contract for myself and my husband. I would like to know what phones have the best reception on Ft. Benning GA military base? We are looking at the EnV and the Casio Gzone type V. How good is the reception for the Gzone? It seems like it would suit the needs of my military husband...any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you

Backup assistant clarification

I'm the primary line on my account and have had BA for a while for free (I use My Account online). We recently were in the local corporate store to upgrade the 4 lines on the plan and the associate told us that all lines qualified for BA for free, not just the primary. Is this correct? It certainly was cheaper than paying the tech $10 per phone to transfer phone numbers even if we do end up paying for BA, though it didn't work on one of the old phones.

Just a quick (random) question..

Did Verizon retail ever carry the Nokia 2285 or 2275? Or was it like a 6305i deal where certain indirects could have it but VZW corp wouldn't sell 'em?

Just curious.

Any new treos or blackberrys

i was wondering if verizon was going to be coming out with the treo 755p anytime soon and if they was going to be releasing a blackberry with a camera on it. i like the pearl and the curve from cingular but dont care too much about the blackberry phone 8830 that verizon just released. i was also wondering if verizon was going to be doing any other promotions. they just had on in my area where if you joined you would get 2000 bonus minutes. thanks for all the input 🙂
