You know....I'm starting to seriously not like Verizon anymore. I'm sick of them always having some ridiculous reason or absolutely no reason(silence),
a bug was found that was related to the company that handles the mass OTA updates. vzw didnt want to experience huge network problems accordingly. far from ridiculous.
as to why they can't get this now almost outdated phone on their network?! When originally announced it was T-mobile/AT&T edge, and Verizon in the spring......now every other major carrier has it with 3G, and Big Red is still up in the air without any particular reason, that they care to share, with the many customers that have been eagerly awaiting this release.
its march 24th. spring started 4 days ago! they have 3 months to release the phone and they will still meet their promise of spring 2010. calm down.
Why does the Moto Droid 2.1 update keep getting announced, and then pulled back at the last minute?
It was announced once.
Why does the Eris still have 1.5? Why did Verizon not carry the IPhone from the start when they were asked? I'm starting to think that their arrogance might truly be their downfall.
Because Apple demanded that they control the service and distribution of the iPhone on day one. This was a non-negotiable for VZW. it was going to be a phone on VZW's network, so VZW wanted to have a say in the distribution of a product. no one knew how game-changing the iphone was going to be so VZW made a business decision. hind sight is ALWAYS 20/20.
As the top network right now, they should have the best phones, and should be much faster in regard to their phone updates.
In reality, they have maybe the 4th or 5th best phone, and are awful with communicating with us what is planned and when we as faithful customers will be getting what.
because VZW is the ONLY big company that does this.
At&t sucks, but they are way smarter than Verizon.....they accepted the IPhone.....
ATT was desperate because they were getting spanked by VZW. ATT no longer wanted to be the no.2 carrier. guess what? they are still no. 2
Sprint has been coming out of who knows where, and now they offer the top phone period with the HTC EVO 4G.......and the most fair rates.....
Sprint has a very aggressive campaign to gain some ground and try to dethrone att and verizon as no. 1 & 2 in the game. yes they have 4g available right now. WiMax is a technology that can be built over the top of current 3g technologies. LTE cannot. naturally WiMax can be available sooner as everyone else has to backhaul the infrastructure of their networks to get ready for LTE. just for the record, both ATT and Verizon chose LTE. why are you only hating on for VZW for this?
T-mobile had the Nexus One first.....
Verizon has the clunky and outdated Droid.....not horrible, but certainly not an HTC EVO......and I haven't heard of them developing anything even close to the EVO? The Incredible/the Nexus One.....come on.....nice phones, but not the EVO.....if they ever finally come to Verizon at all....
Droid, clunky and outdated? seriously? please explain...
and verizon doesnt develop phones. thats up to manufacturers.
Oh yah, they announced some stupid LG messaging phone today.....circa 2001. What....???
If they don't shape up soon I'm done.....
I think you are done with VZW no matter what. you are just plain hating. thats fine, there is no flaming and no problems with that, but i think they are some things that you are just grasping at here to hate on VZW with.
