I've been looking around at what phones different carriers have had to offer and figure the best way to do it is to take recommendations on what phones/manufacturers NOT to get. I haven't got a lot of experience with CDMA, but I know where not to go with TDMA/GSM. Any models to look out for and keep far away?

Note I don't want to open a phone bashing thread here, only know which phones have problems with them. Sorry, motopaulie: Motorola is already ruled out due to bad personal experience, and it would take a lot for me to try one again.

Suggestions?

I want to know what everyone thinks this will do to the wireless industry

I am looking for a nice new phone that is fully compatible with Verizon wireless that can not be purchased at VZ Stores. Something a little more unique. I would like to keep it under $600. It should have some bells and whistles, but I don't have any specific requests.

Also Can anyone shed some light on the way outside CDMA phones work within VZW network. I see phones all over the Internet and in other countries that are CDMA phones. Are they compatible with VZ?

ok so circuit city and other authorized dealers in new york city all sell verizon phones significantly cheaper then verizon stores themselves. i'll be switching from at& t into a verizon one year agreement when i buy the phone. by buying from a ciruit city what is lost than if i bought from verizon. the idea of a verizon store repairing a broken phone or switching it out for one that works the same day is amazing. employees at third party stores all tell me yeah if it breaks after the first month just bring to a verizon store and your good. a few verizon employees agreed but most say not. they'll only work on phones purchased directly. beyond that are their separate contracts btw verizon and me and me and the third party dealer? and lastly a...

If you buy a new phone now with 2000 1x will it be able to be updated to the new speed when it's available?
Thanks

Menu > Settings > System > NAM Set > Auto NAM > Set to yes (6-4-3-1-yes).

This works only as long as your phone is on, once you power off then on again, the setting is lost. Setting this to "Auto NAM" should not have any side effects.

For those who don't know what NAM is:

Number Assignment Module. The NAM is the electronic memory in the wireless phone that stores the telephone number and an electronic serial number.

any chance Verizon comes out with a 1 megapixel camera phone before the end of the year?

I currently have the lg vx4400, not a bad phone but I need a change. The vibration feature is terrible. I miss a lot of calls because of it. Due to my job I can't let it ring either because I will never hear it. The reception is not bad, but I need a better phone. I realize this is a loaded question, but any suggestions would be great. Thanks alot.

on a 1 year plan, would I pay the activation fee for every line or just once?

and the $50 rebate on the slider is that for a 1 year or 2 year in my area? (Morristown, NJ 07960)

can i use a unlocked phone with verizon if i get it on ebay under verizon phones

It it just the website or me, but i cant seem to find any of the America's Choice plans under $59.99. Did they do away with those lower price plans or is it the website? Can someone inform me.

😕
when you see these new phones on here such as some of the lg's or motorola's for verizon. how long can we expect to see them at the store? I am up to get a new phone, Should I wait a few more months? thanks in advance

does anyone have any info on the new nokia phone due to come out in spring, with one of the above model numbers (or similar)

Thank you!

Does anyone know of any high end Nokias coming out for Verizon anytime soon? I had my hopes up for the 6225 (Sprint, US Cellular) or the 6585 (again, US Cellular), but it looks like it's not to be? Anyone out there hear anything different? Let me know. Thanks.

Don't hold this as gospel, but I talked to a VZW rep in this store, and he said there is not going to be a vx7000 for verizon wireless, and they are skipping it to go directly to the 8000 and that the 810 should be released soon. (Don't know what that means).

I read this on a thread in the LG 7000 forum. I don't know if this is true, and I wanted to find out if it was true or not. So anyone who's a dealer or has incite on this rumor could you please clarify everyone on this. Thank You!!

What is everyone's opinion of the above two phones? I like the fact that the 7135 is tri-mode and that it is like a phone and can fold up and go in my pocket. The Samsung has the windows style that would be nice to work with, but is only dual mode. I travel a lot and often in places most phones don't work. I have a tri-mode LG currently and it works everywhere I have to go for work, but lacks the PDA functionality.
If anyone has any first hand experience with the phones please help. Verizon will only allow me to try one phone out for 15 days so I have no basis for comparison.
Thanks 😕

Anybody hear that we are getting this phone?

Anyone know of any real information on when the V710 or V810 will be coming out for verizon???

How long a voice mail message can I leave for a person with a Verizon Wireless phone ?

Hi. I posted this thread elsewhere but didn't get the response that I need. I want to know if anyone has this problem with any other Verizon phones.

I have a Kyocera 2235 which I don't like for one main reason. The battery can still die and shut off the phone even when the phone is plugged into the wall. WTF... This happens when making analog calls from my rural area and this phone has horrid battery performance in analog.

Can anyone tell me if other CDMA (Verizon) phones have a better reputation concerning this. Obviously I need great RF in the Analog spectrum. I was seeing that Nokias are good for this. Motos?

This battery problem is the one reason I am paying MCI 60 bucks a month for long distance phone calls. HELPPPP!!!!!
