I spoke to a Rep Very funny

I called Verizon today to see if there was any update on when the phone will be launched. The very nice woman at Verizon said that they did not have any data as to when it will be released but to go to.. and Get this www.phonescoop.com and check the forum there. She said that this forum will have more updated information than the sales people will. Tell me this is not getting out of hand.

[To Verizon in case they are reading this forum]

Dear Verizon,

We are all waiting to spend money some of us will be new customers. Release the phone and we will buy it. Or at least give us the release date so we can Preorder. Your attempts to hide the fact that the phone exists by not telling your sales reps is really sad. They are getting calls ...

The c343 stinks and the limited edition v60s has had alot of problems.. The 120 and 720 were horrible. Motorola really has to prove itself to me.

Much the same here. I stopped in at my local Verizon store to ask about it. The salesman was very apologetic and said "I wish I DID know something...I want one too."

This is so common on the end of Verizon. We all probably already know that July 6th is the most probable date of all. We'll all know something as the date nears. It is Verizon policy to with hold that information so they don't break their "Worry Free Guarantee" if something unfortunately happens that'll delay the release.

I am a rep and all this is true. But I have to tell you most people who work in the wireless industry would never buy a Motorola.. There reputation has been horrible lately. LG phones have been much better.

I work for a wireless carrier (not Verizon) and I've found that yes, we may hear a date or an approx date may be set to get a phone. But, some things arrise at the last minute that can delay things. For example, we got alot of Kyocera phones into our warehouse, but the distributor put the wrong PRL information or old PRL information in the phones. They all had to be sent back or reloaded which takes *time*. There may also be a fluke in software that may be found at the last minute despite extensive testing. (Which I've seen as well)

Its technology, things don't get released most of the time w/o proper testing and other such things. Many behind-the-scenes things can cause delays that are beyond the carrier's control.

Now you made me think! So How the F*ck did T720 pass all those testing ? IT CAME OUT WITH fCKING LOADEED WITH BUGS!


That is where Verizon learned its lesson. They pushed out the t720 trying to get it out in time for the holiday and released it with a ****load of bugs. Yet there are many people who say they've never had a damn problem out their T720, i'm not one of those people though.

Hey VZW Tech! I had one of your in store "Tech" update the software on my T730 to improve reception... He hosed the phone. I reflashed it myself (with a newer version than he had) and it works again. Also... reflash does not improve reception. BTW, I am NOT talking about *228 either, I mean a full flash. In store VZW Tech's are nothing more than sales people who hung aroung long enough to learn to be a "tech". One notch above sales geek!
