Re: how so?
Slanted market education to show that the iPhone is not the be all and end all of smart phones.
I myself still prefer the Android OS. Only benefit the iPhone OS would give me is the ability to watch certain movies and audio books from iTunes which the lack of such is not a deal breaker for me.
Re: For those of you who do not realize
If you haven't already, read Atlas Shrugged. I enjoyed the book myself but the OP's words are almost taken word for word and adapted for this context from a part where this former millionaire turned pirate talks about why he hates Robin Hood.
Re: Look! Someone reads Ayn Rand!
I remember that part from Atlas Shrugged.
just good business
I personally think its just good since to send out the message of, "we'll still be supporting this for 10 more years." As much as there are customers itching for the cutting edge of the latest and greatest there are thouse who drag their feet to adopt the new. They will say things like,"this here works just fine why are you forcing me to get something else when what I have does what I want?" I know they will ...
Re: LG VX100000?
Are you kidding me? Haven't you seen the latest Tooth/ocular implant device from LG? It just blows everything else out of the water. So much better then Motorola's crappy MLAR implants.
re: why did it take so long
As Stark says in the interview, you can do this already with CDMA phones with sprint. You can use Alltel, Q-West, Cricket, and others too. The hard part is finding someone that knows how.
Re: So will you be able to...
You can do this now. Verizon doesn't lock their post-paid phones, just their pre-paid phones. They leave the access codes as the manufacture default, 000000. Hope you find someone that knows how to program it though if you try this. :)
Re: AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!
You could technically walk into a store now and have this done, the problem is that most reps don't know it or know how to do it. The process is two parts, one is that we just do a simple ESN change in the system to activate your CDMA phone. The second part is a bit more complex and thats actually programming the phone. Most reps these days have never actually programmed a phone they just dialed *228 and ...
Re: doesn't verizon have this feature for free?
That part is true, though VZW's phonebook back up (found at www.getbackupnow.com) doesn't have the ability to sync with outlook, yahoo, or aol and VZw's doesn't have the remote erase.
It is true though that its free as long as you sign up for my account, you don't have to be paying your bill there and my account is free.
Re: Verizon Can't Activate my VX8000!
Careful with that. the feature is only made avalible for certain times of the day (3:30pm-6:00pm pst on the west coast) if the phone is activated with out that feature the customer will be contacted and requested to return the equipment for not getting meeting all our requirements.
Re: Verizon question about ETF?
From what I understand the 8000 is coming out in Jan or so. They are going to be running a market test on it in San Degio with it's EVDO streaming capablities with about so they are setting up like 500 or something customers with them to see how they like it. These customers are hand picked and got some very firm stipulations to fallow if they accept, but the phone is close to coming out soon.
Re: Audiovox and HTC
Defently raises my hopes for this device. Thanks Rich and Funk
Re: EVDO
Yah, its really to bad Toshiba is backing out of the Cell industry. they make damn good phones.
Re: Sanyo 8200 on Verizon?
I think what he is trying to say is that if you were on a GSM system, you could just swap the sim cards but sence you are on CDMA you can't so you have to suffer through stuff like this. Kinda pokeing fun at the situation... At least thats how I took it.
Re: Sanyo 8200 on Verizon?
You'll probly have to get it from Sprint. Or Radioshack, in the instruction manual section of their website they used to have the programing instructions for every phone they sold. Don't know if they still do or not, but it's worth a peek.
The second one from Kyocera
They just had one for the 7135 just a couple months ago, I wonder what is going on with these Kyocera phone batteris. I find it Ironic that they are the ones that are for verizon as well.
Re: EVDO
erg, that is so so. I use alot of the apps on my 7135 and rarely use the EVDO on my laptop except about once a year, but I would like to beable to use this that once a year.
The other thing that makes me nurvious is the fact this is a device from Audiovox not made by Toshiba.... most of thouse turn out to be compleat crap. Is there any other EVDO PDA devices in testing that anyone ...
Re: VZW version, bluetooth?
I personaly love to see this
EVDO
If I rember correctly from hearing from my Audiovox rep, this phone is spose to be EVDO as well, that is something I'm deffently looking for if so.
Re: 9900 Employee Phone Pricing
I work in the with the West area emp orders and if you placed your order before oct 11th your going to be getting the Discounted price for the phone. I can also tell you that we have over 2000 orders for the 9900 for the west area, they are just finishing the 1st's today.... so they are just a weee bit behind.
Re: Verizon release date?
I talked to an audiovox rep who said she can't say much because she can't talk about release dates on future products, but she says sometime before spring... hopefuly sooner with verizon. nothing solid though.
Re: Is it Same as 8900?
Hey Rich, quick question. Internaly (at Verizon) we are showing this phone as an all digital not Trimode, but your page shows it Trimode. Do you know which is true? (maybe only Vrigin's is trimode?)
Re: Well...
FYI, I was playing around in NetACE (Internal ordersystem) and the 1yr price on it came up as $99.99... Unless someone did a big Fubar in our pricing systems for NetACE West bow, This phone's 2yr is $49.99
Re: Hurricane Outages
thats going to suck when his battery dies
Re: ATTWS RULES!!
on a world level I actualy would say VodaFone may be. but I never used them so can't say (VodaFone is one of the companies that own Verizon Wireless)
Re: 9900 Toshiba
Well I can't confirm or deny that, but Something I can tell you for fact; all the 9000 series phones were made in Japan, all the 8000 series phones are made in Korea. This would definitely lend to your theory. I also know several of the previous models of the 9000 series often came up as Toshiba in the billing system instead of Audiovox. I do hope so because I have been really leery about recommending Audiovox to customers ...
Re: in response to current bluetooth crybaby assertions
Gah! thats where the gate way to hell is opened and released... or where the govenator breakes loose the alien probe that destroys mars. I forget.
Re: Teenage Politics
Hey, no problems, you make some very valid points. Something I posted a week or so ago about the JD power's report among other things is that when it comes to cellular industry, to be the best here is to be the best of one of the most hated industries out there.
Most of us here just squabble pointlessly among ourselves because we have nothing better to do or we answer customer questions for those chime in. The most ...
Re: in response to current bluetooth crybaby assertions
I think mergers are always a leap in the dark, but like I said, its with a flash light. Each side can get ready all they want but the final outcome wont be seen until the two sides will be pushed together. I also don't know if you ever had to work through billing system conversions Frog, but to put it simply... its a bitch. I have seen things from a simple as lost credits that never got applied ...
Re: Teenage Politics
Of corse Verizon has more to loose, When your in the lead you always have more to loose and when your behind, You only have more to gain. Thats simple logic to me.
Re: Is it still necessary to have a trimode phone?
I was refering to being able to make analog calls with out charge :)
Re: Cingular, where are you?
lol :P :lol:
Re: in response to current bluetooth crybaby assertions
Frog, don't be to blind. Remember too that there is two types of change, the sudden and fast ones and the slow and gradual ones. Verizon is changing, making adjustments slowly and carefully while studying the markets as they do it. Releasing certain price plans in certain areas and then doing certain promos in other areas, seeing how the market reacts to the new additions, find what people bite on and what they don't.
The quick changes are usually ...
Re: Cingular, where are you?
sounds good for you guys for sure. Funny to hear that ATT to do that. Sprint is doing reselling for Qwest and Virgin mobile... then ATT if I understand right? man, sprint is takeing on a load. :P
Re: Is it still necessary to have a trimode phone?
Right now about the only two phone plans that support analog romaon are local digital choice plans (I know it says digital in the name but my understanding is your not charged for any kind of roaming in your home area) and the National Singlerate plans that are expensive as all hell but gives you no roaming charges anywhere you are no matter what the phone says (requires tri mode phone)
Re: Cingular, where are you?
I think the biggest hurdle you guys have ahead of you after the merger is approved that I see is the merging of billing systems. I have heard rumors that ATT wireless is going to be kept as reseller due to it's strong brand name, which I can't see causing to much trougle for cingular customers/reps but will be a pain for ATT customers/reps (human nature naturally resists change) but if Cingular decides to just completely get rid of ...
Re: Is it still necessary to have a trimode phone?
Wow, thats a good question. I can only speculate on this, but I would imagine that Verizon would keep up many of the extended analog agreements as long as they are still needed/profitible. I know when ever someone up in BFE gets trapped in a bear trap while hiking and has a branch fall on their body, and so on and so forth and the person's life is saved from a verizon phone call, verizon loves to talk it ...
Re: Cingular, where are you?
No problem, I honestly think that getting selling Licenses for a particular market is probably the 2nd hardest thing for a cell company to try to do next to getting a zoning permit for a tower... it actually is probably harder because the FCC only allows so many slots for an x area and once all those slots are sold-out then no more carriers are aloud there until the FCC opens up more slots.
Re: Cingular, where are you?
Companies Licensed for that zip code:
Cell-a: ATT
Cell-b: Verizon
PCS-a: SprintPCS
PCS-B: t-mobile
PCS-C-15: nextwave
PCS-15b: Nextwave
PCS-d: Qwest
PCS-E: ATT
PCS-f: Verizon.
So no, at this time Cigular isn't aloud to sell there at this time, but if the ATT buy out goes through, I guarantee you'll see those ATT stores switching over to being Cigular stores. (unless they do like making ATT a reseller to keep a known brand name out there like what Sprint did to Qwest.)
