Palm Pre, BlackBerry Storm 2 Headed to Verizon Wireless

sure bigshow 🙄 verizon is getting the Tour too so settle down..and they have customers that will buy it. sprint can't sign up any new customers so who cares anyways..just a bunch of dusty phone sitting around. thumbs up good for sprint 🙄

Actually its expected many customers from good ol VZW are porting to Sprint for this phone. Wait and see on june 6th. And also "six months or so" is a broad statement there. Also...I don't want to take out a loan to use VZW when sprints service Is just as good.

hope it does work well for sprint its just sprints performance doesn't make the outlook look favorably- sprint is doing horrible right now...and cheaper prices is not working for them either because millions of customer are leaving and paying MORE to be with better carriers. a few Internet dorks that are with verizon that have expressed interest in leaving verizon doesn't count.

I had a whopping 3 customers ask about palm products since I opened up last year. all three of them just wanted them as PDA's with no interest in data hookups. Good luck with that.

And sprint service sucks around here. Yes, where it works it is a good value, but it doesn't work in nearly as many places as Verizon or ATT.

I am not debating with an ignorant person.

Verizon is great...blah blah 3g blah blah biggest footprint blah.

In every post you claim Sprint is losing millions of customers as if they dont add any at all.

It gets frustrating reading all of the yeah Verizon BS.

And heaven help anyone that posts that they have had a bad experience with Verizon and they want to leave. I've read multiple posts that YOU have written that blast said people out of the water for choosing something else.

Verizon is a very well ran company with maybe one of the best ad campaigns in the history of advertising.

I can't take that away from them. And I don't call any opposition the troll. I have never said anything like that about Menno, who works for V...
(continues)

Let me clarify.....I don't call all of the opposition trolls. Mainly you. And VZW611LA.

Just you two.

Oh GTA it is ok i understand it gets lonely on that side of the fence..

Finally a post that made me laugh! You are not all bad....but I still think you are a tool... 😉 lol....

tmobile signed up more than sprint last quarter. sprint only signed up boost customers, and lost high APRU post paid contract accounts. tmobile has more gsm customers than sprint has cdma customer that's why it's ranked the way it is on PS.

Man.....you are ridiculous. You are saying that Sprint ONLY signed up Boost Mobile cutomers? ONLY?

Seriously......you are a joke.

Wait....let me go ahead and reply for you.....


Verizon is the best. Sprint sucks. Verizon has the biggest 3g, native network footprint...blah blah blah. Sprint is losing millions of customers...blah blah blah.

Thought I would save you the typing.

go look it up. geez google is your friend they lost hella customers for many quarters now. boost saved them last quarter but it was still a lost because prepaid is not as good a post paid. you are not up on your facts there mr kiosk.

Kiosk my ass.....Corporate Business Rep.

You really believe everything you read on the internet? 🙂

Try googling Verizon Sucks, or youtubing Verizon math.....funny stuff.

verizon math is by far the best one...well just brace yourself for the flood of disgruntled verizon duds that will come pouring into your store on the 6th. 🤣

LOL....that's the spirit.....keep it up and I will quit calling you a tool. We may end up friends yet! 😉

🤣

i don't think so. the iphone is only two hundred dollars..why would anyone go with sprint when the game changing phone is only two bills. sprint needs desperately to bring in customers, the 3 hun price point they will just walk away and go and get the storm or the iphone. i can't wait to see the number come rolling in 🤣 should be interesting

I do! There is a lot more to this device than you think. You will find out in another week. You are trying to manipulate and diffuse the debate by throwing in the Sprint card. Desperation my friend.
Give us a better reason than carrier choice.

I will say it again! This device is worth every penny regardless of carrier!

the only thing desperate around here is sprints appalling numbers..and they know it....3 hundred is a lot of change for your average customer..and with millions of sprint highest APRU customers already fleeing for different carriers the pool of ppl willing to shell out that money is quickly vanishing. im sure it will be a great device, but sadly noone is going to be knocking down the sprint store to get one. plus the iphone announcement all the heels of the pre is more bad news for sprint.

Again!!! It is not about the carrier. Do you feel this device is worth it if it were on another carrier?

yes I do...but it has everything to do with the carrier it is launching on.

Do you like MIR? Most people don't. That's three hundred out the door....just saying if they would launch it at two hundred I think it would sell a lot better. Take the Curve sprint had it @ two hundred forever even while verizon was selling it for 100 bucks, no MIR plus bogo offer..now sprint lowered their price recently but still have it at 150 out the door...that's not the way to get ppl to buy.

Actually, I find their product pricing competitive and on mark. I think being biased on pricing for one carrier to another is contradictive to your response. You say Sprint is not pricing correctly, but if it were this price on another carrier, it is ok. That to me is 200 dollars no matter what. BTW, the projected price of the Pre was 299 after rebate. So in theory, they did lower for fair market.

Let me ask you this. What "If" Sprint had been the 5 year exclusive to the Iphone? What opinion would you have?
Sprint deserves to have an exclusive just as any other carrier and they have the right to ask what price every other carrier would ask. If they don't sell, well too bad for Sprint and Palm. But they do have the right to charge what t...

Amen about the MIR pararaph!

I expected no reply. This question was proposed by me several other times with no response.

If I could be so candid, In a sense, Sgt. Joker has a point in the marketing aspect. Sprint and Palm can not afford to loose money but a device of this nature deserves much more advertizing. Apple and Att pushed the crap out of the Iphone before launch. It essentially was sold before release.

Sprint has made huge improvements and are on a good path. In order to attract subscirbers as myself, to experience these improvements, T

i think the management wants the service to speak for itself...
we as agents are under pressure by management to deliver the best cx service that we can...and thats also the reason y the pre is only available in stores on june 6th(much to our dismay here 😢 ), these is so cx can avail of the "ready now" program.

Management needed to put the pressure on. CS was absolutely horrible and phone selection was the worst. The turn around has been dramatic. I have never been happier. Great CS, up to date with devices and their innovation is back on line. The problem is this:

Most people will really not say much of a good experience unless casually asked. Then it usually stops there.

Curve isn't $100 out the door. Maybe on the website with Instant rebate.
