Question about NE2 upgrade discount

Hello! I'm within three months of the "New Every 2" date and I'm already seeing significant discounts for phone upgrades on the Verizion website. Is this the NE2 discount being offered early? In other words, is there any point in waiting? 🙂

Droid Users Ask: Can You Hear Me Now?

Any Moto Droid users experience this?

Gadget Lab Hardware News and Reviews Droid Users Ask: Can You Hear Me Now?
By Priya Ganapati November 16, 2009 | 3:06 pm | Categories: Phones

Verizon Wireless’ vaunted network may not be paying off for some users of the Droid, who are complaining about problems with call quality on their smartphones.

“There’s a problem with echo on the phone, so when someone calls you, to them it sounds like they are having a conversation with themselves,” says Heath Brashier, a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, software developer who bought his Droid, which is manufactured by Motorola, just about a week ago. “It’s happened to me twice so far.”

Re: LG EnV Touch to require web plan

I bought my EnV touch out right (no upgrade) on Nov. 6th, and was not informed at all about the required data plan, I activated it on my account on the 8th, and once again was not informed about a data plan. I choose the device because I checked at a retail store, a corp store, on-line, on-line cs chat, and even called into CS to find out if the phone needed a data plan. At all times I was informed it does not. About 4 days after I started using the device the battery took a dive, so I went into my local corp store, and the rep helped, and I was very happy with the rep. While I was there, I noticed the data plan on my account, and have been informed that my only option is to use my upgrade to get a different device. I have been out of contra...

Reliable low radiation phone

Happy holidays,

I'm getting ready to replace my Motorola W385 after two years. I have been pleased with it's strong signal and call quality. I have learned, however, that it's at the very top of the list of radiation (SAR).

I would like a smartphone but don't want to pay for data or email.

That being said, can anyone recommend a good, reliable, strong signal basic phone with great voice quality and ease of text messaging?

The most important aspects are signal strength (call quality), reliability, and a low radiation (SAR) rating.

Thank you for any & all advice!

Moto Droid tips & tricks

Broke down and just picked up a Moto Droid.
What are some tips & tricks users have found?
Like for one I’m wondering if you can turn down the sensitivity on the screen keyboard. I didn’t initially see a setting for that, phones currently sitting on the charger.
It seemed too sensitive to me a lot of double letters.
Anything else, please share

AT&T is really mad at Verizon

http://www.att.com/truthabout3g/ »

They have bogus statements on their site such as:

"Only AT&T has the fastest 3G network, Verizon doesn't."

"AT&T has the most popular smartphones, Verizon doesn't"

"With AT&T you can talk and browse the web at the same time, you can't do that with Verizon"

"AT&T gives you access to more than 100,000 apps, that's way more than Verizon"

And if you click on a statement it doesn't show you any info beyond AT&T's statement.

What a load of crap. I know you are pissed, AT&T, but geez, this is PATHETIC

You know what this website says:

"OMG, we are losing our iPhone exclusivity next year, we better make ourselves look good"

You can't polish a terd, honey.

Verizon Wireless Interview

I have a interview with a manager at a corporate store tomorrow, what would be some good topics to touch on in the meeting? I have been in cellular sales and repairs for the last 4 years for indirect Sprint stores. Would Kiosk or Store be better?

Question about data plan(s)

I currently have a Moto W755 on a 2 line family plan (my phone is the primary). I see there's an option to add a data plan for as low as $10/month. Now I don't really need a data plan, but I'm going to be getting a new phone soon when I become eligible (NE2) and I'm considering the LG enV Touch or the Samsung Rogue. I know that these phones require a data plan, so the question is if I choose the Touch or the Rogue will I be able to add a $10 data plan or will the data plan cost $30? I've read conflicting information about this. TIA

AT&T Ad

I saw an AT&T ad today. People are in elevator discussing why a competitor is outselling them for the first time in years. Lady pulls out her AT&T phone and says "Maybe it is their new ad?" She pulls up the add on her PDA and gains the bosses notice. Splash comes on the screen and announcer lauds AT&T's fastest 3G network.

So what's the point? Weird that a competitor was kicking this company's ace with a new ad...just like Verizon is. Hmmmmmm...

Upgrade date positioning

Okay I'm hoping someone who works for VZW (CC or COR store) will be able to provide me with an answer on this:

I have an impending upgrade, it's due November 22nd and I'd like to upgrade as soon as possible to one of the Droid devices. I just found out I have to work on the 22nd (which eliminates my window to go as I work 10 hour days) and I'll have to work every day till the following wednesday. My question is: what is the best way to approach asking for a little leeway in this upgrade date, say... 2 days so I can get this taken care of on Friday instead of the following Thursday.

I know a lot of people feel they have an undeserved sense of entitlement so please be frank with me. If it's not something that can be done please say so, b...

Hey everyone,

Point being, is there ANY WAY to get out of this contract I signed with my wife a month ago, or am I hosed and now have to wait 1+ yrs to get the new droid?

Thanks for the help.

Android App: Froogloid Key Ring

Cool app that lets you scan your discount cards (grocery store, etc.) and let your phone show the bar code when you need your card. Lighten your wallet, so to speak.

My partner just did a blurb on it:

Moto Droid spell/predictive texting

So using the physical keyboard spell check/predictive text doesn't work because of the software.
What if you type out a message with the physical keyboard then shut it, will the software then correct any mistakes?
