hey ppl this phone is 100% REAL
ok i have used the lg prada and the phone thats coming to verizon the LG VX 9700 is way better than the actual prada. and i generally know what comes out even before the ppl that work for the verizon stores even know. im not a know it all but i have done my home work. the picture presented is the actual verizon model that will be used in the stores. and also how the VX9700 is better is that it has a 3 mega pixel camera and the actual PRADA only has a 2 mega pixel. it will most likely be media FLO since it is most likely going to be more expensive then the voyager due to it being compact. and it also has a full qwerty touch key board on the tough screen which the prada doesent have. fase it ppl we are getting the upgrade and boy do we VZW users diserve it.

Open Network re:88
Dom, MediaFLO is not VZW's network. It is operated by Qualcomm the company that invented CDMA, and most Integraded Voice Response (IVR) systems. AT&T also suses MediaFLO now. Verizon uses MediaFLO b/c it is a truer TV experience, whereas other comanys uses their own data network to stream TV to your phone. The resolution of streaming is pathetic at best, which causes the choppiness you see. Ask a friend if they have Sprint TV and gag yourself at the clarity. VZW launched MediaFLO because other carriers thought it was a good idea, but never hopped on board until now. Expect better things to come from Quallcomm, like more channels, possibly even Pay-[er-view programming as well in the future.

hey annonymous 87. The signal technology does not dictate who has cooler phones. being GSM doesnt mean that a phone is going to be better. It is up to the manufacturers. VZW has kept their service locked and under control.. thats why our service is so far above everyone elses. Besides, with open access, all a manufacturer has to do is stick in a cdma chip instead of a gsm chip, and vioala, you have that supercool gsm phone u like so much on VZW quality network.
I could go into all the technical qualifications why CDMA is so much better than GSM... but i dont think you could comprehend it.
just because everyone else is doing something different, doesnt mean they are right. There is a reason WE are the most reliable, not them, and there is a reason WE are the most profitable, even moreso than ATT who has slightly more subscribers. Maybe they should switch to CDMA ? :D

It's the NEtwork
I am not sure which part of the country the CDMA haters are in, but in the Northeast, when it comes to quality, it's verizon hands down.

Trust me, Verizon is not going to switch to GSM.

Hey #91
Fyi, the VX9700 will NOT have MediaFlo and fyi the New Silver LG PRADA does have a Qwerty touch keyboard which is why the vx9700 will also have one.

GSM is way better than CDMA. Also CDMA of verizon does not have the most reliable network. I had verizon and I live in an area with is cover with trees and I look at verizon web site and I said I should have full bar and I didnt. Then I went with AT&T then I did have full bars. So CDMA is not better then GSM

amazing, i can bring up 100 other stories of customers comming from att and sprint/nextel because we get service everywhere and other carriers are spotty at best.
since you love GSM so much, why dont you just list all the reasons its so much better, id love to hear all the technical examples, security, and whatever else you can pull up besides a story about trees and towers

Thanks for clearing up that goof who posted about the trees. Seriously, every service has bad service in different geographical spots. This does not make the overall network any different. Just because AT&T has a tower pointing in the right direction near your trees doesn't mean they will wherever you move to next. So you can't make your judgement based off of one spot.
