First let me start by saying i am completely happy w/ the service Verizon provides.

My question is for any verizon or cell phone rep that has insight to my thoughts. My biggest concern w/ verizon is that they dont have the latest and greatest when it comes to their handsets. My question is why? Now i have to believe they have done research on what the consumers want and when they want it.

One of the main reasons is that each phone that will work on our system goes through testing. Most phones never make it through the testing. Believe me we have tried Nokia phones, most do not work as well as we would like. Nokia refuses to use Qualcomm chips and make their own CDMA chips. As far as some of the other phones they do not make them for CDMA use.
