WoW
seriously the two of you bickering isnt exactly representing the company in the right manner. the 29.99 data plan will be available for the 6900 according to my data master. you both should chill out and stop trying to prove the other wrong.

Bickering
Man am I glad I work for Alltel. Whenever you ladies are done, can we talk about how this phone fuctions, or the fact that there are many useful add-ons that allow you to stream youtube videos, etc. (No matter which carrier you use.)

Who the fuck interns at a cell phone company? This is not an Advocate or a Hospital.... I hate morons. Everyone is bitching about Verizon's version and I have used both Sprint's and Verizon's and there are very little differences. I DO LIKE Sprints Comm Manager better on their version and noticed a VERY TINY amount of chop when closing the touchflo. For the Verizon version: I like the color choice for the default theme much better. The red on black looks much better than sprint's yellow. I like the white because it looks "Mac-ish" but I like Sprint's black soft touch because black always looks nice and wears out less. For the comments about size, GPS, and rev a... THIS HAS NOT CHANGED!!!! How do you crucify Verizon for not changing this? Because we took longer to launch? Of COURSE we did! WE ALWAYS DO!!! You can download Alltels ROM which enables GPS and REV A for free. There are many links online for this so just shut up about it. I will admit that Verizon is a little slow with our phone line up and a little strict with our standard handsets feature sets, but we are exemplary with our customer service and reception.

Sorry, I am getting worked up from these peeps screaming about redundant things. ACIREP, please try not to compare your company to ours for the simple fact that a couple of posters were duking it out on this post. MR. BA up there ^ has no idea what he is saying. I never call consumers idiots; the fact is: I am a consumer as well and an idiot as well when shopping in other industries. Therefore I would be hypocritical to state that consumer are idiots. A Q for the alltel dude. How come when I look for stores in california, new york, etc I cannot find any on your site? Is it an error? Or do you have like 5 stores in the US? I was just curious what your footprint is like.

So some guy said that a data plan in the UK costs 35 pounds. At the current exchange rate that is
about 60 dollars a month. That is one expensive data plan. I work in a VZW call center and
yesterday while helping a customer set up email on one of these phones I went through all of the
available features and the 29.99 data plan is currently not available for the 6900. Our system
will show us all possible features that can be added and it was not there. It is only the SMT5800,
XV6800, and Q9M that currently support it. I do believe that some of the things being said are
really disrespectful to the consumers throughout the entire cellular industry. Please remember who
you represent regardless of the company.

No wonder our customers call in so confused....check your M&P's VZW employees....it was updated on
04/30/08, and states the only devices that can get the $29.99 Web and email data plan for pdas
are:
Motorola Q
Motorola Q9M
SMT5800
XV6800
(the Q was a new addition to the list on the 30th for those reading all these posts). Thanks to
confusion like this, we get customer escalations demanding that they saw it was available on a
website or from a rep...as for a Data Master (???) saying otherwise, didn't know that was a
position within the company, but I would like to have it for the cool title : )
