Digital Leash information

Ladies and Gents

I am new to this whole phone thing, and wish to gather some information from those more skilled: my employer is wanting me to sell this form of insurance, rather than the corporate insurance. I haven't seen it before, and don't know much about it. Any experience in the selling market with how it's been, and what feedback has been given by the customer?

Their main selling point is that they will never drop an individual's coverage; the deductible just goes up $75 with each claim on certain plans; if the phone is lost or water damaged, add and additional $40 to that $75. The start-up fee is between 50 and 100 aside from that. I do get a portion of the initial fee, but am wondering who sells this already that has ha...

RAZR MAXX siting!

Saw someone with the Razr Maxxx today. It looks like a really nice phone. Unfortunately, it was on a soap opera . Sure do wish that Verizon would make up its mind if it's getting it or not and when. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Solectron

Whelp bad news, just a heads up. Get your resume in order guys/gals. Within the next few months, Solectron will no longer be a contracted by VZW. They knew it was coming but just found out last week. I work in HR and in my region, we are putting together packages now that will be offered to the field employee's and management.

I don't check these forums but felt the urge to pass the word because of the slimey way they are handling the situation. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

A question for any Verizon Tech reps.

So I activated an unlcoked/unbranded SLVR L7C on my verizon account. And the strange thing is that with this phone I can actually receive picture messages, but I can't send them. I have had other unlocked phones in the past, and the only thing that worked was text messages. Is there a setting I can change to send as well since receiving them works??? I turned off EV-DO, does that have anything to do with it? Thanks for any help...

P.S. Just for kicks I went to my local Verizon agent in the mall to ask this question and showed him the phone. After he almost fainted when he saw the phone, he was very quick to say he couldn't help me and that I had to go see a Cingular or T-Mobile rep because they were the ones selling those phones. ...

Blackberry Service????

I currently am the owner of a Moto Q. My current job calls for my e-mail use. Thought I would accomplish this through my PDA. Am I better off to use my Moto Q over say a blackberry 8703? Also what is the cost for using my Q for e-mail, as opposed to using a 8703 blackberry?? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Good stuff, Sprint! Yes, I know they're struggling and need something big like this, but it seems we're getting closer to a perfect wireless world! Check out the RCR article...

Mobile phones boost brain tumor risk by up to 270 percent

http://www.newstarget.com/021634.html#conventional »

(NewsTarget) Using a cell phone regularly โ€“ even a modern one โ€“ raises the risk of developing a brain tumor for many users, a new Finnish study published online in the International Journal of Cancer. The study, done by a collection of researchers from many universities and led by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found firm corollary evidence that using a cell phone causes the risk of getting a brain tumor called a glioma to rise by 40 to 270 percent on the side of the head preferred for using the phone.

What you need to know - Conventional View
โ€ยข The study compared 1,521 cellular phone users who received a glioma to 3,301 control participants wi...

Mobile TV coverage area!?!?

Well since Mobile TV is soon to launch I have been over flowed with information. Recently I receive maps of coverage and didnโ€™t see Chicago and any areas around it under the new coverage nor did I see it coming soon section I am wondering if anyone also got this information and didnโ€™t see their City.

samsung i730 or i830

Are these 2 phones still being offered in stores? I would assume the 830 would be the newer of the two but Verizon's website only has the 730 listed and it's while supplies last. Looks like a nice device but wasn't sure if I could even get one without ordering online or what is going on with the 830.

Treo in testing for Verizon according to sales rep at store

Hi everyone, I am new here and am itching to get a new smart phone. I have a Treo 650, love the PDA/cellphone combo and don't use email or Internet on it.
I was at a Verizon store Thursday of last week and the sales rep tells me to wait on upgrading because there is a new Treo being tested. He claims it will be without an antenna and will be a bit thinner. Due sometime mid-to-late 2007.
Has anyone else heard such a thing?

Time for another FRU?

๐Ÿ˜ข
Ok I am on my second RAZR. I had my original for less than a year and then it died and I got a free FRU replacement. I got the first one on Dec 24th 2005 on a 2 year agreement and I have had uninterrupted Teca 5 insurance on it.

Now the number 6 button and the send button work 25% of the time so needless to say I need a replacement.
Will It be a free replacement or will I have to pay 50 dollars for the FRU?
Just curious.

Verizon ready to snatch up Alltel?
Posted Feb 25th 2007 4:30PM by Michael Caputo
Filed under: Alltel, Verizon Wireless

Ahh, the sweet, sweet comfort of the rumor mill. Remember not too long ago when we heard that a certain regional carrier was the talk of a possible buyout? As that rumor is taking shape, it appears that Verizon Wireless as its eyes squarely on ol' Number Five, Alltel. If everything turns out to be on the up-and-up and Big Brother gives the merger a thumbs-up, the happy union will make Big Red the l...

More than 3.2 megapixel phones...

I'll admit that I've paid almost no attention to cell phone technology until recently. As a matter of fact, I've only owned a cell phone for about two years, as my job always provided me with cell phones before that. Now, it's about time to get my next Verizon phone (my "new every two" kicks in at the end of March.) I've found that, despite having lots of training in photography and fancy equipment to boot, many of the best and most-cherished photos that I take are with my cell phone because it's always there when I need a camera. The downside is the fact that these photos are basically worthless as anything other than an image on the 3" phone screen (its top resolution is 640x480...pretty crappy.) So I'll be buying the best camera phone tha...
