Verizon To Have a Consistent UI Across All Phones?

I read somewhere that VZW is moving to have a Verizon-branded interface across all of its new feature phones, and perhaps in the future go as far to have the same 'Verizon UI' on all of the phones it carries.

This to me makes sense, since if this was implemented, if you knew how to use one VZW phone, you'd know how to use 'em all. The downside, of course, would be if the VZW UI sucked, i.e. it wasn't user-friendly or fast or intuitive.

Is it true that VZW is moving this way, and if so, do you think its a good idea?

From what I have heard yes. The UI they are going to use going forward with be the one on the vx8000, vx7000 all the new phones coming out will be like those.

Are they going to be able to get all the manufactuers to go along with this? I know Verizon doesnt carry many Nokia phones, and i cant see them going along with this, they put alot of love into there UI. Im not sure on other manufacturers, but this move seems like it will cause even further delays when it comes to verizon getting the coolest and the latest phones

So what's to differentiate between handsets? Pfft. We can't clone people so we'll clone our phones? Bah!

I dunno... maybe features, styling, performance, durability, brand/marketing, etc. etc.? 😳
