Just wondering if the Motorola A840 is out. Which is the best clam shell phone out that verizon has right now?

Bear...
I just got my new Samsung N330 on Saturday. All in all, it's a good phone and it's a nice change from my LG-4500. But I have one concern...noticed if I powered down the phone, then turned it back on that the network roam option always resets itself to "home only". As far as I know, here in S.F., CA., I should be on "automatic B". I was having some earlier issues with background noise being "clipped", and signal strength/connectivity...but that went away when I switched over to auto-B. It's not really too much of a problem, for I leave my phone on 24/7...but more of a nusence. My LG-4500 I could power off/on and it would always stay on auto-B. Is this something that is just programmed into this Samsung, or could it be a defect...

I reside in an area serviced by Alltel Wireless and Cingular as the two main carriers. After recently noticing a new antenna going up on a local cell tower, I went and asked the contractor that was there if there was a new cell provider coming to the area. All they knew is that it was Verizon Cellular...of course VZW.

When calling Verizon customer service and giving them my zip code, they said they weren't licensed to sell service in my area at this time. The tower is supposted to be on by the first week of June, according to the contractor working at the site.

Any insight to Verizon Wireless buying some spectrum or licenses in new areas?

i'm still in my 2 yr contract. if i wanted to get a new phone i would have to pay the full price without discounts from 1 or 2 year contracts. how can i find out the full price of a phone?

thanks

Hey I finally came up on my new every two and I can upgrade my phone. I have the lg 4500 but I am looking at one of the free phones that I can upgrade to. Ok here are MY top 3 choices.

1.Motorola v710
2.LGVX-7000
3.Samsung a670

Out of those 3 phones which one would be the better choice and why? Even though all 3 phones would be free for me. I am trying to make a good decision on which one.

Thanks

I was reading this article about the CDMA Motorola RAZR and I saw something that looked odd.

techsavvy.textamerica.com writes

Motorola announced that it will be offering a new CDMA version of the RAZR V3. Sadly, the initial version of the handset will not contain A-GPS and therefore will not be viable for the US market, with its E911 requirements.
The CDMA RAZR will first show up in Korea. Motorola claims that it is trying to cram the needed chips into the CDMA RAZR so that it can be brought into the US market.

noteable change with the new handset, which will be known as the MS550 in Korea, is the camera. The new RAZR sports a 1.3 megapixel camera, which is a significant upgrade from the GSM RAZR V3's VGA unit.

How much extra is it? I can't find it on the Verizon website, if someone can post a link to it it would be great.

Ambiguity of Verizon's Treo650 Release Date Deemed Unacceptable - May Trigger Boycott

by Disgruntled CEO Yesterday, 5:44 AM



I am the Chairman and CEO of a major US corporation and have directed my VP of Operations to post this message in every venue that might gain the attention of any Verizon executive. After thorough study and research, including that of other reputable firms such as Consumer Reports, my experts selected Verizon as our company’s carrier, primarily because of their superior customer service and quality of coverage (fewest service holes, dropped calls, ect.). Based on an internal company survey, my direction to my procurement division was to choose a handheld phone device that most closely replicated...

I upgraded to samsung a890 on the 24th of april. I would like to go back to lg but am passed my 15 day return policy. Was wondering if anyone had a 8000 that they would switch with me for.

Is there a update for the XV6600 so the ringers are louder. The phone is nice other than this one bad feature.

I've been a cust service rep with VZW for about 3 years now, so I've been there when the whole PTT program started with them. Now, my experience is that, not only do we not sell alot of PTT service to customers, but the quality and service of the PTT is sub par to just plain unusable. Even after VZW's much heralded "second generation" launch. I'm just curious to see whether I'm just seeing isolated cases or if this is pretty much the general consensus amongst PTT users with VZW. Thanks.

OK, since the razor is not coming anytime soon and it expensive, what other phones does Verizon plan on releasing in the near future? I am going to upgrade soon.

Thanks

When is Verizon going to get the razor and is it going to have a stupid external antenna? Anyone know what features it will have and a price?

My Cingular exclusive owner is contemplating on selling Verizon, also. Is there a website for Verizon agents to order shirts? Thanks.

Will

I would like to know when Verizon will offer the Treo 650? I've just lost my Samsung i700 and want to buy either the Treo 650 or the Audiovox 6600. I suspect the 650 is a better buy. Thoughts? Suggestions?

My comments are limited in scope to the Midwest and Great Plains markets. Policies change from time to time, so what I am about to say shouldn’t be taken as gospel.

Also: this discussion is limited to calling plans that are $34.99 per month and higher, and shareplan lines that are associated with such plans.

If you have a single line plan that is somehow less than $34.99 per month, your eligibility for equipment discounts is very limited, and it’s really a whole different ball game.

If the phone was purchased on a one year contract , a “standard upgrade” is available when you reach the point where it has been 10 months since the date you purchased your phone. If the phone was purchased on a two year contract, then a “standa...

Hi folks,

Currently, I have a V710 with verizon for my voice, and the t610 (T mobile unlimited internet plan) that I bluetooth to with my Pocket PC to use for Data. Originally I thought I would be able to use the 710 but...thats a whole other thread.

Basically I would like to be able to purchase a VZ phone with EVDO on it, bluetooth to it and use it for data for my PDA (if the 730 comes out I wont need to use my PDA) or my laptop.

Im really anxiously awaiting the Samsung 730 but worried that verizon will disable one thing or another on the bluetooth, and not let me tether the devices to use the EVDO capability as an access point. Also, If I use an EVDO enabled 'plain' phone with bluetooth, I can have my choice of PDAs as well, as...

I can't believe no one has posted this yet. I just got back from Verizon. You can order the Treo 650. They did not have them at the store yet but will be shipped to my home in 2 days via Fedex. They are officially out only to business customers but rep said all stores will sell to indivduls.I was up for contract renewal and also $100 off for new phone.Total with tax and shipping was $330. Not a bad deal at all. There will be a Kyocera 7135 smart phone on Ebay later tonight if anyone is interested! 🙂

Is there a way to send a text message to a verizon customer though email or web? If so, how can I do it?

My ex sent me a message through his brother to get in touch with him, but I don't want to talk to him... and I sure as hail don't want him getting MY mobile number. I'd rather SMS him through web or email if possible.
