FCC Site Reveals New V CAST TV Phone from Motorola
But
you're right though - i wonder what will happen when/if motorola decides to start using their new cool looking operating system on cdma phones? will verizon still continue putting the Commie UI on the phones that go to them?
personal opinion - vzw may be better served by offering two versions of some of their high demand phones (i.e. this phone, the KRZR, some of the Samsungs and LGs, etc.) - one with the VZW UI and one with the manufacturer UI... this would probably help increase their sales and help them with their customer retention. The thing that Cingular/T-Mobile/Sprint/Nextel have that VZW doesn't have is CHOICE. If you ...

But then again, Sprint is what's known as NON-Cingular.
๐คฃ ๐คฃ ๐คฃ sprints such a tool
at least Nextel's excuse is all of their phones are made by MOTOROLA
My opinion is that Verizon ends up stifling innovations by requiring that all their phones have the same User Interface. While that may be good for some; such as those who may have a difficult time with changing technology etc., it is not good for others who feel more comfortable with technology.
As I said in an earlier post, Verizon may be better served to offer two versions of their phones - one with their UI and one with the manufacturer UI. I feel that would be a quick and easy, and probably even better, way for them to get more marketshare.

(oh i should mention, i'm a doctoral candidate in history and that's a question i ask in a lot of my classes.........i also have my JD so i love to argue)
on what basis do you claim verizon is better? personal use? that's opinion. advertising? hearsay. friends? hearsay. until it's a proven fact, i won't buy that verizon's network is "better" than at&t or any other network (and network maps are garbage)
your usage of the term "second-tier" is wrong. you're saying that it's an inferior technology with the use of "second tier"; which is not true. Second tier would be something like TDMA, which IS an inferior technology (that's actually like beyond second...

as far as having the better network Verizon Wireless has far more backing to make the claims then any other network. every year JD Power and associates and Consumer reports put Verizon Wireless at or near the top in all regions while AT&T is near the middle or bottum. many newspapers around the country have conducted their own little drive tests around their city and the majority of them point towards Verizon Wireless for being the best. VZW themselves has real life test men and women who conduct hundreds of thousands of voice and data calls on the VZW network and the networks of sprint/at&t etc and those tests also...

The point of my original (like 2-3 days ago) post was not whether or not the network was the "best"; rather, it's the "communist" user interface, and the limitation of choice by verizon. regardless of if you spend $300 or get the free phone, they'll work the same - and the addition of cameras and bluetooth (crippled!) is what you're paying for. i am certain that there are features that these phones have that are not being fully utilized because of the carrier's user interface (i.e. bluetooth).
if you are interested in the network a...

technically speaking t-mobile is the only carrier that won AWS nation wide... so in 10-15 years you better carry your obsession with you to T-mobile

^who is this???^^^
read the part in bold.
VZW has more customers then Cingular im sorry to rain on your little AT&T "mobility" fanboy parade.
VZW has more retail customers then cingular.
Cingular(AT&T) has more resellers (tracphone etc) that puff up its numbers.
More people pay Verizon Wireless each month for wireless service then pay Cingular(at&t)
More people are included in unlimited IN calling then are included in AT&T's standard mobile to mobile because you dont get unlimited M2m to Tracphone do you.
If you want to talk about retail adds you guys got killed last quarter. VZW added 1.6million RETAIL adds q1. AT&T added 800,000. VZW added DOUBLE the actual customers last quarter.
It only looks somewhat close because cingular got Tracphone and...

The carrier ended the first three months of the year with 58.5 million direct customers on its network, the most of any domestic operator. Verizon Wireless had a total of 60.7 million customers at the end of quarter, just short of AT&Tโs 62.2 million customers. ~RCR Wireless News.
