crappy phones

why does it seem that verizon picks the most ugly phones? i am sure it does wonders for their business 🙄 . why don't they switch to GSM anyways, thats what all the best-seller phones use. CDMA may be reliable, but it seems like a waste for such a good company to have the crappiest phone selection.

you need to chill DT, he is entitled to his opinion of verizon phones without being attacked. seek help guy not everyone thinks verizon is better then sex.

I agree verizon phone selection is awful and they put out so many bunk phones, i feel sorry for the ppl who dont know any better and get stuck with the lemons.

People always bash Verizon Wireless of having crappy phones. Sprint isn't much better, and USCC & Alltel typically have even crappier phones, and if they get a phone that Verizon already has, they typically get it much later than Verizon does. Alltel was the exception at beating Verizon at releasing the Motorola Razr V3c.

yep with the moto UI and working obex. they get bashed on alot because they deserve it.

Sprint shows you CAN have a much nicer phones selection on a cdma network. Sprint has some hella sweet phones coming down the pipeline, and all the poor verizon customers only have the lg 8300 pos to look forward too. major pathetic with that flash ui, very cheesy and sad.

Tmobile-cheap and ugly
Alltel- cheap and ugly
MetroPCS- cheap and ugly
Cricket - cheap looking, expensive, and ugly

hes an idiot ok? he didnt just state that he doesnt like the phone selection he stated that GSM is a better technology becuase they seem to have cooler PHONES, "cdma is reliable" but the phones suck so scrap it? that is an idiot, furthermore his idea of a good phone is the PEBL

ok thats fine DT, but that does not make him an idiot and its rude for you to respond that way. i have a noticed a trend in your post history and you are polite and willing to help ppl who are positive about verizon, those who are not, get your hateful side. NOT COOL BRO you need to stop being such a fan boy.

Its not just people who bash verizon its people who are uneducated, immature, or whiny that annoy me and i feel inclined to reply, i have bashed people on the cingular forum to when they whine about stupid stuff that had nothing to do with vzw.

I am sure i was 100% justified in bashing Evlis here he is saying that we should scrap CDMA even tho its reliable and get GSM cuz they have "cooler phones". thats retarded, add to that that his idea of a cool phone is the PEBL and you get a response.

it's a waste to have more reliability instead of just putting out trendy phones?

i cant speak for the OP but he understands verizon is a good company, and he expects a better selection of handsets. its not asking to much imo, verizon needs to get on the ball in this dept,their selection of feature rich phones are just pathetic.

It is stupid to suggest that VZW scrap the largest and most reliable network in the US.

However, we would get a better phone selection if VZW was GSM. It's only natural that the handset manufacturers will focus on handsets that work on 85% of the world's networks .

As stated in similar posts previously, Verizon is not interested in being the trendiest company with the trendiest phones. Typically because the "trend seekers" are not loyal to one company and in return would cause a high churn rate. Every time another company comes out with a "cooler" phone the "trend seeker" will go to that company to get it. Verizon is focused more on high end business users that could care less about how "cool" or "trendy" the phone is. Therefore making customer retention the ultimate goal.

Strange. I don't seem to have a problem CALLING with our phones. And I thought when we bought our 3 phones that's what they are for. I feel so silly now.

My thoughts exactly...as a rep all I hear all day long is "I don't care about a camera, games, annoying ring tones, etc... all I want is a phone that is reliable. I want to make calls and receive calls."

Are we forgetting that these are PHONES. Yes, funky features and bells and whistles are fun, but practicality out weighs cool, hip, and trendy any day of the week.

My wife has LG5200.....even too fancy for her, never uses the camera. Most everything else is a total waste to her. I'd bet a large number of cell phone users think the same way.

I have Razr and tend to like more gadgetry than she does, but as time goes on care less and less about it once the novelty wore off. I was using Bluetooh headset but was not satisfied with the quality....still searching for the best.

We also have a Nokia 2128i....ah, getting closer!

To be honest what they really need is a phone for the severely technologically challenged, and elderly folks who want a plain jane phone with absolutely nothing but buttons to make calls with zero options except maybe called ID; a phone that prevents the user from pressing one b...

Crappy phones and poor user interface on their phones. Why not just keep the original interface? 👿
