Speaking of phones

Can anyone tell me why Verizon can't (or won't) put out a smartphone for around $200.00. I don't want a PDA but I would like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar from me e-mail client. Cingular has 2 smartphones for $199.00, hell Nextel even has a windows smartphone. Verizon had a Samsung but discontinued it without a replacement. Does anyone have any information or rumors of a smartphone coming out anytime soon for Verizon wireless?

I really want a new phone but...

I really want a new cell phone (preferably the nokia 6236i) but I'm not eligible for the NE2 until next fall. I am also poor so I cannot afford to pay full retail value. Are there any websites I could check out that may offer the phones at a discount (besides ebay) or does anyone have any advice?

Retail Customer Support Rep

I was just wondering what type of position this is under Verizon? I know some companies use this as the person that meets and greets the customer but doesn't get commisions on sales. Is this what this position is? And what would be the title of the technicians in the back of the stores?

Analog From An "All-Digital" Phone?

Well, sounds like a dumb question to me, but...
Let me first say that I am not ready to give up analog capability on whatever phone I carry (which is currently a StarTac).

A couple of years ago I was "this" close to a new Samsung, then realized it was listed as "All-Digital". I haven't gotten too serious about it since, until a couple of weeks ago. I had heard about the RAZR, and asked about it while at the Verizon store paying my bill. The saleslady said the RAZR should be in within a week, and she thought it would be Tri-Mode.

I went back in after a few days, and they had gotten it that day. I was kind of excited until I looked at the info card. Instead of "Tri-Mode", it said "All-Digital". Dang. So I got to talking to a saleslady (...

Razr OS

Whats up wit hthe new OS of the Razor, Did they stop using Motorolas interface and go with LG? It is far from user friendly.
I will switch back to my e815 that still utilizes motorola software.
Why did they make this change? You cant change the soft keys, its not at all a good move.
Anybody want to buy a 2 day old razr?

Aim for Verizon??

I know that when you use AIM, each message is charged as a text message. Can anyone tell me if you have VCast is it still the same, or is it unlimited like the Web 2.0?? And also for anyone that has VCast, is it worth getting at $15/mo?? What do you really get out of it?? Thanks!

Military To Take Over Analog?

This question kind of goes along with the other message I just posted. I think it was the same saleslady who said that some "All-Digital" phones will do analog who said that analog will be going away soon for consumer use, to make way for the military to use that band.
Is this true?
Why would the military want the crappy analog stuff?
When will this happen, if true? If not true, when do you experts think analog will truly be fully a thing of the past? Over two years ago I heard analog would be gone "by the end of the year". Obviously it is still around. I assume the digital replacement program is moving along, but how fast? Don't analog towers cover a much broader area? So to cover the same area, they must put in several digital towers (t...

Motorola Hollywood looks tight..

The Moto Hollywood is an all-black E815.. looks NIZE. I love my Nokia 6256, but if this phone had been available for Verizon when I was phone-buyin', I woulda been very tempted.

Unfortunately, seems like only Amp'd Mobile is gettin' it. If you wanna see what it looks like:

How is everyone surviving Christmas this year?

It hasn't been overly busy in my store. However we are expecting it to be VERY busy today. Everyone got paid on the 15th so it should be busy today, lets hope.
