yeah. a bunch of morons with 95 million customers, and billions of dollars a year in revenue.
did you ever think that some people may like that option? if you dont like bing search, there is always google.com.
ive had a fascinate for about 5 weeks, and i just bookmarked a page for google. wasnt too bad. plus, bing was a lot better than i thought it would be.
Ok, they are obviously doing something right on the business end, but my gripe is with HOW they roll out phones and handles LAUNCHES.
I mean that, with just about EVERY launch of their phones, they:
A) Don't have live models in the stores on "launch day" - I've gone to three VZW stores for the Droid 2 and X. They weren't available on launch day but they were willing to take orders. Weird, right? Keep in mind there is a restocking fee, so I'm not sure why I would order a phone I couldn't play with, dislike it, then have to pay a restocking fee. Lame.
B) The reps in store never know when another shipment of a new phone or a new phone's accessories will come on. This is frustrating as all hell. I hate Best Buy and would rather go to the VZW store.
That's what I meant. Running a telecom business is obviously complicated, but whoever is in charge of distribution and planning launches (or whatever department) doesn't seem to care about the customer experience, just whether or not people shell over the cash and sign a contract.
Off-topic:
Do you know why Bing was even loaded on there? Would that have been a requirement of Verizon or could Samsung say they won't load Google on it?
Just curious.
