WOW, Big day and week for Verizon (Droid, Droid Eris, BB 8530, Choc Touch)

Ok,

So this may be one of the biggest weeks for verizon in recent history. With the combination of press releases for upcoming devices (8530, choc touch, Droid Eris, Casio Gzone Brigade), the release of an entire new platform for the company (android), and of course a sprinling of new blackberries (including whispers of a Tour 2 with a trackpad and wifi by Christmas). Verizon is poised to take over the industry and truly become in a leader in high end smartphones...Now all we need is that one "i" device, lol.

Verizon is moving in a whole new direction and with that direction comes changes to our contracts...like the new $350 ETF for smartphones. While I'm not a huge fan of this much of a jump from a $175 ETF, I do understand why they...

Tour issues. What are my options?

I had the BB Curve, and then bought the BB Tour on the day it was released from vzw. I returned my first one because of severe trackball issues. I was given a new Tour. I have been using it since then with similar problems. The trackball works fine some times, and other times it is horrible. I have done updates, cleaned the ball, increased the sensitivity, and everything else I can think of. I love the phone, but it is driving me nuts. I'd love the Tour 2 when it comes out, but I'm sure they won't swap me out. The droid and storm2 look great, but I don't know about not having a bb physical keyboard. Is my only option to get a refurb Tour? Obviously I am aware that I can buy a new phone at retail pricing, but that isn't my top choice.

Discount on Data Plan for Secondary Line?

I have a family plan with four phone lines. Two of the secondary lines are blackberries with data plans. I have been getting a 22% discount on my phone plan and 20% off the data plans, but that changed last month and I no longer receive any discount on the data plans.

I called Verizon and one rep told me that it was a problem with my company's discount with Verizon and that I would start getting the discount again this month. I called today after I received a new bill and was told that she was wrong and that Verizon was discontinuing employer discounts on secondary lines. Does anyone know if that is correct? Is Verizon alone or are other carriers doing the same thing?

Is it really true?

Please forgive me folks, if this is old news, but I've been out of the loop for a while, and I only heard about this in passing.

I have heard that the iPhone will finally be made available for Verizon customers. If so, what is the launch date?

Again, I apologize if this is old ground for most of you. I really have been out of touch with more pressing matters.

I have a question...

I would greatly appreciate a truthful answer if possible...

Is Verizon's 3G coverage map counting more than just EVDO Rev A? I know Verizon has a slower data network like AT&T's EDGE but I can't remember what it is called...

New AT&T Luke Wilson Commercial

AT&T has a new Luke Wilson commercial which I believe is very effective. The commercial details AT&T's coverage (not merely 3G) of 97% of the population of the U.S. Since AT&T claims Verizon's 3G commercials imply no coverage in non 3G areas this may be the way they should have responded to those commercials in the first place.

you tube on Moto Droid

I usually do not bother with you tube on a device because of the quality(unless you are on wifi). On the Droid you can view "regular" you tube quality videos or hit the options button and select view in high quality and It looks fantastic. Just thought I would share sorry if this has been talked about before, I am too lazy to look. The surprises keep coming on my droid best purchase I have made in a while.

starting new contract, any way?

So, I got an EnV Touch in June of this year, which brings me to June of 2011 w/this 2 year contract.

I really would like something other than the Touch, it's a brick, I like it, but darn it's big. Used to have the LGVX8700, still have it and can switch back to it, I know this.

Was wondering if any of you know if I can sign a new 2 year contract and get promo pricing on a new phone? Or, is it too soon since I've only been on this contract since June, it'll be 6 months on 12/14. Been w/the company for 11 years, that probably does not matter though.

The girl @ the Verizon store told me that I could only pay retail at this point, or go to amazon or ebay for something - but that would still be retail.

Thanks.

Detailed billing ?

I know Verizon charges $1.99 for detailed billing per line, which is also optional. Does anyone know if that fee still applies if you opt out of paper billing and just manage your account through My Verizon, but still want a breakdown of your usage? TIA. 🙂

HTC Eris

Well folks after careful research and what not, I think I am leaning towards the HTC Eris. Does anyone actually own of these beautiful phones? If so, Can you tell me your thoughts on it. I was leaning towards the BB Storm 2 which I know is also a great phone but dont feel as though I should have to add an additional data plan for emails and what not.

Thanks in Advance

Verizon Commercial

Anybody see the Verizon commercial with Santa and his reindeer? They advertise Verizon's great 3G coverage and then proceed to promote a Blackberry Curve sale. Am I the only one that sees something wrong with that?

Call Out Card Templates

Anyone have a powerpoint or presentation file they use to print custom call out cards? I have always had a bundle price (similar to corporate) but cannot find a good template to match the call out card paper from WorkFlow One.

Thanks

Moto Droid Missed Call app.

Anyone get this to work on their Moto Droid? 😕
http://www.androidtapp.com/missed-call/ »
I've tried both versions from the market and neither of them fully work. 😡
I can't get the 'repeating sounds' to work. The first (older) version only works when I turn on the screen... 😕 .
And the newer version called out for the Moto Droid 2.0 won't repeat at all.
LED works fine. Am I missing something, do I have to power cycle the phone after installing and setting up this app? 😕

Verizon phone that can use an eBook reader

This is urgent. I have to buy a phone before Thanksgiving Day.

What Verizon phone would allow me to download an eBook reader but not saddle me with the extra cost of that DATA PACKAGE?

LORNA.

I would get the iPhone, but my contract with Verizon is new. Also, the iPhone contract is $70 because of that $30 data package that one must buy.

PLEASE SEND NAMES OF PHONES THAT I CAN LOOK AT AND CHECK THE PACKAGES FOR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Motorola DROID: Does it have an eBook reader?

Does the Droid have an eBook reader? I know that Droid has wifi,so I know that it can download with wifi, but has anyone read an eBook with it?

I am considering it because it has a large screen for reading an eBook.

I have to have the phone by Thanksgiving.
