I work for VZW in nor cal and I am confused. I can't believe how covert verizon is keeping the information on these phones. We knew about the Touch months ago and still these phones which are supposed to be out by April/May I can't find in our infomanager...

71. There is a reason, VZW tries to keep the hype controlled to when it best suits the needs to sell the phone. They will FIRE you if they catch you giving out info on the phones before release. If you talk to any rep who does not visit these sites (most do), they will not know what phones are comming out because we dont normally get anything official until like a week or so before launch.

Verizon pushes the quality of its network, which is far beyond anyone elses, not the phones. You can have the flashiest phone in the world, but its not worth much if it doesnt keep a call.

You CAN put on your own ringtones, music, bluetooth files, ect. My EnV is filled with self made creations. You can even watch movies on certain phones if you get the right programs. Verizon controls whats on the phones to control the security and integrity of the network. You dont hear about many verizon phones being hacked to death like the Iphone, which was a major reason why we didnt want it, they lacked the security and refused to put it in place. That and they wanted to use our 2g network too.. haha, heck no!!! Even our base model phones can run 3g!

Yes!
This is the phone I've been WAITING for, and my new every 2 comes up in April! I actually am using a vx8700 right now (great phone, btw).

Anyways, have you guys seen that to use your upgrade, you have to change to one of their newer, more expensive plans for a phone like the voyager? Like, wtf mate

re: Yes!
the subject of why you need to switch from americas choice to Nationwide for new HTML capable REGULAR phones has already been covered. It changes it from billing you per minute to per mb, at 1.99 per mb which is the lowest in the industry in america. there is NO other difference between AC and NW unless you have a plan your grandpa signed you up for when he was young.

Of course this phone is for Verizon Wireless There're many pix leaked all over google not to mention the pix on this site clearly showing the Get It Now symbol on the main menu. Big bummer though I was hoping for Windows Mobile 6.0

CDMA/GSM
Verizon will be running LTE in late April or beginning of May. It will allow any phone to work with its network. This includes iphone hopefully. This is smart considering its not "breaking" the contract between the iphone and att. Verizon is just allowing it to work for thier network.

But...
the iPhone is based on GSM whereas Verizon uses CDMA. If Apple really wanted to, they could replace the GSM radio with the CDMA version. I wish this would happen but I kinda doubt it.

LTE
lte technology does come from a gsm based tech but the initial stuff used by VZW will straight CDMA compatible at first then seein as LTE is decedent from GSM they gonna make it reverse compatible with GSM soo yea, by the time it happens the iphone will be a paper weight.. like it shld be now.. plus remember ppl VZW will not release a phone if they don't think they can fully guarantee it, and for those of you that can't understand what im sayin is that if the phone is not good enough @ first the manufacture gotta step they game up.. and by the way the whole reverse compatible thing is theory still, no guarantee.. but yea VERIZON WIRELESS is the best, no doubt about it

LTE
When I was working for Verizon they specifically said that the Iphone would not be allowed on Verizon's network. And second LTe is the data network, so it is possible that the iphone's data services could work but the voice network will not run the iphone ever!!!!! Unless the iphone is changed to CDMA
