Bye Verizon ( 'til the UGI goes away )
I am so done with Verizon. I've been off and on with them ( mainly with them ) since they where AMERITECH (I live in the Chicagoland market ) I hate their MENU. It bites and I'm tired of it. All their new phones have it. The e815s menu? Where did it go? Verizon has the best coverage and the best service out there but I'm leaving for good until they stop with the communist b.s. they have with their phones n services. I'm tired of the boring V9M I have. Come on. Who uses the right button ----- Say a command ----- uh, no one. Why cant Verizon leave Motos, Samsungs, whoevers original menu on their phones? All out war on Verizon. Shame on you Verizon.

That's a pretty lame excuse to leave a wireless carrier. Best service, best coverage and you're leaving??? Maybe I'll leave my carrier next week for an inferior one and blame it on the fact that my phone doesn't shave my face for me. Hope you at least choose a decent one, best of luck.
...
for someone who has such a need for more sophisticated technology you don't keep up with current events very well. http://news.vzw.com/news/2008/02/pr2008-02-25 d.html When you can't get the phone to work correctly don't call us.
...
Don't you know that there is no better carrier than verizon? and everyone else has inferior service? Att offers roll over because they suck!!! tmobile has lower rates because they suck too!!! Geeez How dare you even think about leaving the herd, you pay more for crippled phones&GUI and you love it!!! Shame shame on you!

Looks like your all out war with VZW will be you, Brown27, and the Ralph Nader supporters.
Yeah, the UI is plain. I would hope that there is more to why you use a mobile phone than the UI, but if not, good luck to you. But the phone works when and where you want it to, I'm sure most every time.
Hey, take up Brown27's offer for the Sprint SERO plan.

Are you serious??? I have a Moto Krzr and a Pearl and could care less about the user interface. What is it you don't like about the interface anyway?

It sucks! but kool aid kids don't get it, but they also think 45 dollar data with restrictions like no slingbox is cool too!
No slingbox for you!! đ¤Ŗ đ¤Ŗ đ¤Ŗ

get over it man...not everyone hates the UI. Have you seen other cell companies UI's there nothing to write home about and new flash UI's on some of the LG's are pretty nice.
And who cares about slingin to a phone? If you need TV that bad, you need help my friend. I think my DVR will do the trick for now...

aight...the Touch is perfect for me because I travel and do sales so GPS is a must, and slingbox helps me kill time shrug đ

fair enough...im in sales to. I guess sometimes you need a few extra sources of entertainment when your out on the road. I still think I would just use my laptop tho.

Spoken like a true Verizon Red Comrad who apparently never experienced the joy of a true native interface. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

Hey...VZW didn't mess with pda's GUI's. Give credit where credit is due, no? đ
...
Jo wouldn't know, he is too busy lookin up 14-25 year olds on his Nokia browser.
...
when i tried verizon out i had the env, it wasn't a bad gui but did lack customization. i am really into customizing my phones like nokia, sony and blackberry. i make themes and like doing that. verizon wasn't for me but the gui wasn't that bad.
...
Exactly the GUI works just fine for verizon customers, because they are just average users.... the verizon customer is jumping up and down for a two year old Pearl âšī¸ đ wow the pearl is so cool, I can check my email!! LMAO
...
Ummmm, sprint got it at the same time as Verizon (actually about a week or so later). So you dissing Verizon for getting a 2 year old blackberry when your lover sprint got it at the same time? đ , you need a life outside of phonescoop.
...
I don't use the Pearl, I got the Touch!!!! and I use Nextel DC!! Nice try tho, plus the Sprint version of the Pearl has GPS, not crippled like verizon, and in a cool black color, plus red too... unlike verizon. Peace! đ

with the failure rate of htc devices and win mo locking up every few minutes, i'll pass. plus the touch isn't anything special. Nextel DC is so far outdated of a technology i'll be glad when it's gone. i'll stick with my curve or wait for a good sony or nokia with a qwerty. sorry verizon, i'll go back to the at&t forum now ;-)
...
The Touch is surprisingly stable which is nice because many smart phones that I've used in the pass failed with voice clarity plus plenty of hard resets. But yeah Palm and BB os are more stable....qchat is being released in April with all kinds of new push to X features, very cool stuff. The Curve will be a nice addition for Verizon and Sprint!!

i should add the reason i said the touch isn't anything special is for the same reason the iphone isn't, no pysical keyboard.
...
last time i checked a phone was made to call people, not to look at the pretty screen or complain because it doesnt wipe your ass for you. its a phone, use it for what it was made for. if you would really dump a carrier just because you dont like the menus on the phone, you sir, are a moron. if the coverage sucked then that would be a reason to leave, but menus?? lol. what do you use your phone for anyway then?? cuz obviously you arent using it to make calls otherwise you wouldnt see the menus so often and you would realize you have the best coverage now and wouldnt leave. but to each his own. im waiting for a week or 2 here to see your post as to why you are leaving the next carrier because the menus are great but your service sucks
...
Can't say I blame you. Finally leaving the womb and striking out on your own without RED everywhere....and you get to choose your phone (in its NATIVE format) not having been "damaged" or crippled by Momma V.
YEah you will drop calls now and then. But freedom does come with a cost and a few dropped calls are a very small cost to pay for Superior phones, complete freedom how you use your phone and service.
Welcome to freedom......

ok so i used the old UI's on samsungs lg's, audiovox, even the old ericsson's(b4 sony) and none of those impressed me at all. all very boring and unchangeable. the only one was moto's had a few changeable options nothing to write home about or even come close to getting me to take home a moto, But the rest of the menu's were garabage, it took nearly twice as many steps to do something as it would on most other phones, very complicated and confusing. the new menus are very simplified and ready to use. maybe you can't hack it as much but it's better that that old garbage. and the red you so hate. well that can be changed as well. so get a clue. i actually was excited when i saw the new style on the 1st phone it came out on LGvx7000 i t...

And you learned a Symbian OS with a response like that? What did you get a coach?

Not everyone in this world has the smarts to learn a new menu everytime they get a new phone. I think it is fine personaly.I would take the new menu any day over the old motorola charging port. No mater what way the menu is set up, someone is going to hate it. đ

Switch to Verizon because..

Verizon,,,The Wireless carrier for dummies.
"We do it all for you."
Sounds like a great marketing tool.

Well not everybody has as much spare time as you do. I mean you have to be bored out of your mind because you post like 100 times a day. Has this become your myspace?
I think if I had as much as you to post as you do I'd find a better hobby. Try golf, its worked out for me.

seriously AvgJoe. you have to understand the majority of the US market aren't as phone/tech savvy as the rest of the world. They could care less about what kind of phone they buy. When I was working with cellular phones, the biggest complaint i got was "man if I buy a new phone I have to RE-LEARN everything again, need to get used to the menu," and etc. I remember I spend a good amount of times with customers customizing the settings of the new phones they bought to be very similar to their previous phones.
so when VZW had this universal UI, a lot of my customers loved it cuz it minimized the learning curve when transitioning to a new device.

Yeah and they offered it to Verizon first Go figure. I am no iphad fan. IN fact if you read the ATT forum I have said as much. I know more people who got sucked up in the iphad and now have a Nokia N95, Read Howard Forums. Lots of buyer's remorse. Apple Marketing works, Thats what they bought. For $600 they could have bought a far far more featured phone.
And remember they lowered the price of the Iphad 30% in weeks after release. Not exactly a sign of over the top sales. Many are still unactivated.

Not quite as much as Verizon though.

My phones do what I need them to do and the service works well. If controlling dropped calls and allowing me to use a bluetooth headset is controlling the VIVA Verizon because the phone does what I need.
My 8130 had blackberry messenger between carriers, web browser suitable for my needs, media manager that works adequate and killer reception and reliability. At the end of the day I need a cell phone and PDA, for everything else I have a computer.
I feel for those here in Chicago using some oth the other networks that themselves are crippled with ineffective call blockage, dropped calls and overall poor reliability.

BDJ,
Excellent point, especially when comparing sub-par coverage to effective yet different device crippling.
