AT&T = iPhone
T-Mobile = myTouch 3G
Sprint = Palm Pre

Verizon = ? Blackberry storm. I have that, and it's a piece of crap, after the upgrade, still a piece of crap.

2- year contract renew.. oh you can get a $100 off the LG Env Touch (Crap) or the LG Versa (Crap) These are all kids phones.
Who knows nothing much than texting all day.

How about a real phone that can get an apps. No, because we have the best network.

How many time have we hear that excuse? yes network do matter, but there's a point the Phone weights more than the network.

I am locked with verizon because of $600 early termination fee (4 lines) not because of their network. Get the facts straight.

And why do you have to charge $350 for the HTC Touch Pro when Sprint ($199) AT&T ($199)??

I don't think these type of business strategies will last forever, watch out verizon.

I don't understand the folks that complain about Verizon. If it's that crappy, jump ship. Leaving Sprint seems to be en vougue these days, yet they have the fastest network and now one of the best phones on the market. Plus, Sprint's plans are quite a bit cheaper than the other carriers.]]>Jun 26th 2009 3:04AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/verizons-ceo-sidesteps-questions-on-iphone-android-handset/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/verizons-ceo-sidesteps-questions-on-iphone-android-handset/

I used to be a Verizon customer, but their crappy phone selection and constant delaying of phones a year later than everyone else sent me packing. It's like being force by your ISP to only use a crappy eMachine to use the internet. I hope they choke on all their EnVs and Storms. Have fun with that mixed CDMA/LTE network, hopefully this time you'll be able to use the internet and make calls at the same time instead of having data tie up your phone line like a freakin' dial up connection.]]>Jun 24th 2009 3:55PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/verizons-ceo-sidesteps-questions-on-iphone-android-handset/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/verizons-ceo-sidesteps-questions-on-iphone-android-handset/
1) No removable battery
2) Apple-only tech support
3) No way to get insurance for the phone
4) Apple's unwillingness to include native Verizon Wireless applications with the device.

In that order.

The original iPhone was already pretty crippled with no cut and paste, no ability to do MMS, etc.

So... we're talking immovable object versus irresistible force. And given that the whole object/force paradox flops against the face of physics, so too do these two seem to be discussing some agreement.

Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on the part of many people.]]>Jun 24th 2009 7:51PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/verizons-ceo-sidesteps-questions-on-iphone-android-handset/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/verizons-ceo-sidesteps-questions-on-iphone-android-handset/
