The Verizon Wireless Blitz, manufactured by UTStarcom/Pantec, is a peculiar looking device targeted to kids and pre-teens as a combination phone and messaging unit. Its primary competition comes from the Samsung Alias and the more expensive LG enV2, as both offer a QWERTY keypad ...
this is supposed to be a kids phone. i am sure the columnist knows this, since he stated it in the opening paragraph. with that said, why would one of the negatives be NO EVDO. Since when does a parent want a kid phone that is capable of EVDO , they usually want to block all features EXCEPT text. so it should not be in the negative, this is a phone that will be popular with ANY KID. yet the columnist is rating it like he would take it home and use it as his primary phone. what a fool. Phonearena.com has great news breaks, but their staff writers must not have even graduated college.

This phone still has Mobile Web and VZNavigator, but it takes lokger to load since it lacks EVDO.
OMG!!! Forget the Touch Pro or the Storm, I am getting this bad boy, this adonis of cell phones, the epitome of a stylish device. This is the real iPhone killer.
I can see the "kid" factor applied generously here. But seriously, the EnV2 barely costs much for a QWERTY phone, and the Alias costs the same as the Blitz. Verizon doesn't do very well with sliding QWERTY phones do they? (Except smartphones). The Glyde only costs $20 more, because it's just as bad, lol. But at least the Glyde looks ok. I see this thing going to $$FREE$$ and out of production pretty fast for a phone
I work for a verizon store and honestly i thought this phone wouldnt sell at all when i first saw it. The kids do love it though. Lets face it this day and age all the kids 15 and under only care about texting so this phone is great for them. I just hope that it comes out in a few more colors sometime soon. I could see that realy boosting its sales.
wow. this phone actually seems pretty cool. especially because i can get it for 39.99 on my plan. but the review seems very biased. the reviewer constantly compares this phone to the env2. i dont think this was a very fair review.
