Verizon Wireless is expected to launch a streaming television service early next year using a network being deployed by tower company Crown Castle International Corp. Verizon Wireless currently offers a streaming service through its CDMA2000 1x EV-DO powered Vcast service that provides continually updated video clips to select handsets.
Zachary Research analyst Patrick Comack noted in a research report that the Crown Castle-powered service is set to launch during the first quarter of next year. The service will use Crown Castle's digital video broadcast-handheld television service, which Crown Castle told RCR Wireless News earlier this year it planned to offer in between 20 markets and 30 markets by the end of 2007.

Could someone explain to me why cdma still uses the extending ant.? but not just cdma, because iden uses it too? Does it have advantages? If so, why doesn't gsm use them?

Is this the best Verizon entry-level phone that has no camera but with good battery life and speaker phone?

why are the cdma phones the uglier phones? honestly, the gsm nokia flips look way better, as well as the motorola's and samsungs. why is this?

This isnt bashing or anything, i'm jsut realy curious as to why the antenna's are cheaper, the phones are bigger, and they dont have cool styling?

check out the nokia 6155i, the moto e815, a840, the ugly lg's, and a few sammy's. they really arent as cool as the comparable gsm phones. why is that? do cdma phones require more hardware or somethin?

How can you get (if its possible) to get a tracking number for online orders placed via the VZW website?

A few weeks ago there was a long thread regarding the $.40 admin charge and getting out of your ETF. I told you that the charge didnt actually violate the T&C, even though vzw was letting people out of their contract due to the new charge.

Well today, vzw's corporate legal department has decided that vzw is no longer going to waive the ETF if you want to cancel due to the charge. So for thoes who havent canceled yet, its too late. 😛 😛

Just wondering, I've heard that Verizon purchased LEAP communications (AKA CRICKET), is this true??? and if it is.. what will cricket customers expect

I am not even one-year into a two year contract and my Samsung 610 broke.

I want a phone that has bluetooth and speaker phone and I'll be happy. Verizon Stores want $400 for a phone with those features! I found some online, on ebay, etc. that are around $200, but I don't know if they'll work.

They all say that they will work with the Verizon Network, but how do I know for sure? Also, what's the difference b/t a locked and an unlocked phone? How do I get on that is locked, unlocked?

Finally, if I buy one from OTHER than Verizon, how do I activate it?

Thanks for all of your help!

Though I have used Blackberry's for a long time, up until a week ago, I never used it as my sole (email and voice) device.

Does anyone know of anyone that modifies the 7250 ringer and earpiece volume? Yes, I know this will void the warranty, but, my old ears can't hear the ringer and I struggle to hear the other person speaking when I am in a crowded environment. As it is I had to give up my BT headset and go back to a version that goes in the ear :-(

Though I am thrilled to have one device, I do miss my 710's ringer and earpiece volume.

Thanks, Scott

So I constantly see posts on here asking "what's the best phone" and there are a lot of opinions out there. I guess I am just bored right now and decided to release my "Phone Rankings". I am basing this off of both my personal opinion AND my experience with all of these phones from working in the stores. Some have a lot of complaints and some have very few, which all help in these rankings. I hope this helps everyone and I know I'm gonna hear something from everyone about it but oh well. By the way, discontinued phones are NOT on this list (such as the Moto V710, LG 7000, etc...) Also, everything released on or after Mid- September have been left out since I have not had the chance to really get a customer reaction to those mosels since they...

Just, wondering if verizon is ever going to offer Unlimited Nights and Weekends miniutes earlier than 9 p.m. 😁

if verizon is getting the RAZR, will it get the SLVR too, i like that phone better.

I read all the stuff about it supposedly coming out 1st quarter of 2006 but when I was taking to verizon on the phone she said it wasn't coming out with verizon bc of too many problems with the phone. Did she not know what she was talking about?

Hey it would be great to get a VErizon rep answer this question but everyone could make a guesstimate if they want..... last time i checked, Verizon had 43+ million costumers..... but that was a couple months ago.... does anyone have anew estimate? all i know is that were right behind Cingular (who claims they have 50 million but in reality have like 47-48 million).

Verizon Offers Settlement To V710 Owners

Today, 3:58 PM source: Verizon Wireless

Verizon Wireless earlier this month reached a settlement in the class action suit brought against it by V710 owners. Subscribers who purchased V710s have 4 options to choose from before December 9, 2005. They can keep their V710 and receive a $25 credit from Verizon. They can return their V710 and all accessories for a full refund but keep their service. They can also return the phone for a refund and break the service agreement without a termination charge. Additionally, users who are satisfied with their handset can opt out of the class.


What is the problem with the 710? This phone has been way better than the 265. 😕 😕

anyone know how to configure the kx2 for "free" wap. i got as far as configuring the UpLink but can't get any farther than that. thanks.

I own a Telus Mobility LG VX-3200, and there are good chances that I am to move in the US, and I was wondering if my Telus could be activated on Verizon's network? I have asked both providers, and none of them seem to be in a hurry to answer my question. And if it could be activated, is there anything I need to do, or do I just bring my phone at a Verizon retailer? It's not even a year old, and I would hate to be forced to buy a new phone.

Why waste your money on Verizon when you can GET MORE with T-Mobile! My name is Catherine Zeta Jones and I am here to tell you to Get More with T-Mobile!

With T-Mobile you get more: signal problems, headaches, dropped calls, minutes that you will never use because you will never have service, and you Get More slower than ever T-Zones services!

Switch to T-Mobile today, and GET MORE!
