Verizon Wireless' IPhone killer...

i HATE verizon phones but i've been with them for the past 8 years. there's no use having a cool phone if you can't use it as a phone.

I totally dig mine, as well.

does the music that you put on that phone also have to be purchased from Verizon? If so then I would never buy a multi-media phone from them at all. It just kills it for me. Just think about how much $$$ it would take to fill that sucker up.

damn...imagine loading it up with music and then losing the device. Talk about getting double ****ed.

My provider is T-Mobile. They let you do anything with your phone and they are rolling out phones that will allow you to make WiFi calls. Once that is available on a wider variety of phones I think T-Mobile is going to start kicking Verizon ass.

NEVER going to happen, nationally. Verizon is so far ahead of them its not even funny in terms of dollars adn suscribers. The only way Tmobile can even make a dent is to buy Sprint or ATT

I've done the same with my LG enV. The only problem I've run into is that the volume is way to high with my headphones even at the lowest volume setting. Very strange... I guess I just have to buy some volume adjusting headphones.

well, when you load music you should have a copy on your hard drive. if you lose it, you just reload it on your new phone.

wifi is nice, but it still doesn't improve reception when you leave the house. it won't kick verizon's ass. maybe at&t... but they won't touch verizon. and if it goes well, every other provider will implement the same thing.
