PEARL SALE

My read on the ads is that this sale is for business lines only?? They say it applies only at the $79/mth level?
Thanks

Phone with best web browser?

I am really wanting to get a new phone but I would really like to have a decent web browser. I went to the store yesterday and played around with the Moto Q and the LG Voyager. They both seem to be lacking in my opinion but I suppose this is just the nature of mobile browsers. Anybody have an opinion on which phone has the best web browser?

Also if I was debating between the Moto Q, the LG Voyager, the Pantech PN-820 or waiting for the HTC Touch. Any suggestions there? Thanks for the comments in advance.

VZW sucks

I guess I'm just in a bad mood, and I'm taking out on VZW. Why can't this company get with the times and get new equipment out. The caveman discovered fire quicker than this company can come out with a smart phone that does not weigh 5 pounds and does not cost you 50 bucks a month just to get e-mail. Where is the curve VZW. Take your music and your 1.2 MP camera phones and give them away to someone who gives a s... about that crap. Good coverage will only take you so far. Everyone has good coverage. Start working on the equipment side of the equation. Can you hear me now VZW. If you can hear, you are not listening!

eBay phones

Out of curiosity, if I purchase a phone off of eBay, say a Voyager, and bring it into a Verizon store, what kind of reception will I receive from the salesperson?

Also, what does "bad ESN" mean?

Buying a new phone. Any advice?

I'm getting a new phone from Verizon within the next few weeks and I've been doing some research and narrowed it down to either the Blackberry Pearl, Venus, or Voyager. Basically I'm looking for a phone that is easy to text on, has good reception, takes good pictures, the general stuff. I don't really care about the internet the Blackberries get, it just comes highly recommended to me. Any thoughts, recommendations, ideas?

Upgrading text messaging

Just a quick question, I currently have the text plan that gives you unlimited In network texts + 50 to outside networks. This has always been fine, but one of my new friends has Altell, so I'm thinking of upgrading before my bill gets out of hand.

My question is this. When I go to the Verizon site and choose Upgrade my Plan, there are two options. The first says 250 texts for 5 dollars a month. This is in addition to the 5 I pay for the Unlimited In network and 50 messages. But if you scroll down to where it says Picture Messaging, it says Unlimited In and 500 messages for 10 dollars a month. Here's what the description says.

Text and Picture Messages are now IN! For only $10 Monthly Access, you can get Unlimited Text and Pictur...

Text Message Question

A good friend of mine has a Treo, not sure about the model number, but his text seems very unique. Currently if I send a text message to another Verizon customer the phone (non-Treo) will tell me it was delivered at such and such time, which does not mean they have actually read the message. However, my friend's Treo would show the receivers name in blue, and then when the person actually read the message it would turn yellow or vice versa. My point being as long as he would text another Verizon customer he could tell if the person would read the message and then ignore him. I'm curious if anyone knows what this feature is called or more specifically what phones currently have this? I appreciate any help. Thanks!

listen up all big bosse's of vzw - yes i know who you all are -nym metro president..and his ny puppY

So i was actually was employed by vzw and after i left the company i learned alot of how money hungry this company is .. I had 5 lines with vzw when i left.. And my monthly bill was $200 plus every month. I had navigation and select plan.. And my contract was going to end 09.

Well you know I paid etf for all 5 phones totaling to $700 plus. ANd i gladly switch to att. With roll over and much much much better selection on phones..the cost of switching over was nothing.

vzw phones; ha ha what a joke.. you advertise it like it was best thing that ever come with.

ie- lg chocolate ?? att sony ericson 580I is truly the most converged mp3 phone there is and it plays FM radio.

Voyager - Don't even dare put voyager in the same catagory a...

Lg 8350

I'm looking at upgrading to a new phone. Thinking of going with the 8350. I currently have a 6100. Reviews and comments I've read on here make the 8350 sound like its a good phone. What I'm wondering about is the reception with the internal antenna. I work in a factory and the reception on the 6100 is pretty good. Anyone know how good the 8350 reception is or how it compares to the 6100?

Upcoming Verizon Phones???

I am currently a Verizon customer, and I am in the market for a new cell phone. I tried out a Palm 755, and had horrible results. It seems this individual phone had some unique personality ticks.

What is coming out in the near future for Verizon, I called their stores and they had nothing to share?

Texts to Non VZW

I have an unlimited texting package. Everytime I text someone that does NOT have VZW I get an immediate text telling me that Verizon only sends plain text with the first 160 characters. Is it true that only the 1st 160 characters goes through...or does the text split into multiple texts? When I get texts from non VZW people...long texts wrap into multiple texts. Hope someone has the answer.
