So I purchased a Tour in July, a few weeks after release. A few weeks later the trackball went bust. I received a new device in the store. A few weeks later, same issue. I called tech and received my 3rd device. This device was activated on Aug 31.

About a week ago, the trackball went bust again, but when I called i was denied a new phone because it was more than 2 months since my previous replacement, outside the FRU policy. Is there anyway around this? I'm tired of receiving refurbs and then having them break in the same way again.

I have a question about text msging. A customer told me that there is some way that you can set certain times that txt msgs cannot be sent or received.
For instance, if I wanted to stop my child from text msging while in school. I cld block the msg service between the hours of 8am and 3pm but allow them full access after that.
Does anyone know if this is true and if so how do you set it up or where do you set it up???

So.. I thought this was rather amusing. Note, this is just an editorial, but is shows that more than "verizon fanboys" on phonescoop are laughing at att's arguments.

buy the Barrage!!

It's off the chain!

I am currently wokring for one of your comptetitors, and would like to know what your monthly sales goals are like, and how do you get paid on those goals.

This is a serious question, so please dont state your opinion or respond negativly.

We are a Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer in Northern Illinois (Rockford Area). I am looking to hire around 3-4 sales people immediately. Experience preferred (want everyone trained by Black Friday) If your interested email me at

So I currently have the old $15/month Vcast/data package, prorated $175 ETF?

I buy a Blackberry (or any PDA/smartphone) off E-bay, activate it, pay the $30/month data package, now I will have a prorated $350 ETF? 😕

That doesn’t seem right.

I dump the Blackberry (or any PDA/smartphone) go back to my dumbphone, now I only have a choice of the new $10/$20/month data packages, and going back to the prorated $175 ETF?

Am I understanding VZW’s new ETF correctly?

is anyone actually selling any?

Why does the U.S. carrier known for the best network have the worst smartphones?


Verizon Wireless gets plaudits for its coverage and call quality, but consistently loses out to AT&T, T-Mobile and even Sprint when it comes to getting the newest high-end handsets.

“They lack the star products that their competitors have,” says Avi Greengart, research director, consumer devices for Current Analysis. “They recognize they don’t have compelling devices right now but feel they can make up for it with network quality.”

Case in point: Last week when Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha proudly showed off the company’s much-talked ...

I am waiting for part two with C3PO and the Terminator. *fingers crossed*

Kudos to VZW on the new droid ads.

To those who say Motorola makes crap, that can't be the case here because there are reports that this thing is solidly built.

I have been in the wireless industry for many years and have been a sales mgr for a cpl different agents and even worked for corporate at one point in time.
I took some time off from the business and I have now accepted a sales mgr position with a small Vzw agent.
I am looking to change the current commission structure that is in place as well as hold the reps to a quota(yes they have not had quotas in the past)
I am just looking to see what different type of structures are out there and what the reps think of each. Obviously, I really dont care where you work, I'm just interested in how you get paid and what your daily, weekly and monthly goals are.
Thanks for your help

If you activate a droid or any PDA the etf is now 350.00
So what if you activate a pda and then in a month do an esn change to any non pda?
Are you charged the etf or what happens????

What are some of your favorite Droid Apps/Widgets?

So appearently there is an appetite for Android on Verizon.

I heard a rumor that a 4.3 inch phone will be released by verizon by december, is this true? If there are any reps out there, please weigh in. Thanks.

Pete 🙂

Ok, got the new droid, and looking for an app that converts speech to text, I know Blackberry offers one, but does anyone know if Android does? If so what it's called or where it is located?

Anyone else see this? Thoughts?

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place... but I can not figure out why when I use the "key board" for text messages there is no "auto correct" when typing.
When I use the "virtual key board" the auto correct is functional.
Am I crazy or did they really drop the ball and leave this feature out of the programing?
