C'mon now, these must be VZW employees, these postings reek of brainwashing! The fact of the matter is that VZW does have good service coverage, but the choice of smartphones sucks. Your customer base has the right to demand the newest technology and the best service for the prices that we pay for VZW. All we want is for VZW to finally be on the cutting edge instead of always following the pack. (how long did it take for the Razr to finally come out for VZW, and when it did who really cared at that ppoint) If you are going to boast about all the great services you offer, please make a phone that is capable of utilizing them in one device. Speaking of devices and that wonderful VZW UI that is forced upon us through the VZW phones that can't be unlocked, how about you stop disabling the best or most technologically advanced features these manufacturers work so hard to put in their phones. The only reason an employee gets as defensive as VZW employees do, is because they know the claims are true and yelling about how great you think you are hopefully drowns out the noise from customer complaints. If VZW is so great with technology, why are they losing so many customers to the competition right now? Why are they trying so hard to mimick the competitors phones and why isn't Europe on the same CDMA technology? Questions, questions, questions, while everyone just keeps waiting and waiting for tangible answers.

Oh, and please don't tell me that VZW is going to release the SMT 5800 in those ugly colors and funky keyboard we saw in the sneak peek pictures earlier in the year! If you make your customers wait forever, the least you can do is make sure the product is good looking and has all the latest bells and whistles. BTW, B-berry curve, where is it? 2 years away???

I think you guys should listen to the above postings. People moan and gripe about getting the latest devices but many don't know that having customers who call you btching and moaning about bugs and recalls because a company released a device THEY KNEW had glitches is a royal pain in both customers and the companies behinds. If you want the latest and greatest (that will probably fail after 4 months of use) go ahead to another company. If you want to be patient and have a phone that will actually work longer than 2 weeks go with one from VZW. I worked for a wireless company notorious for getting the latest phones. I will say dealing with angry customers about their defected phones was the worst. Glad to say I don't have to deal with that $#&*( anymore..ill stick to being a consumer.

Interesting feedback. I hear you VZW employee, maybe what you are trained to say is exactly the problem. People do want phones that look great, are intuitive and have the most up to date technology, why do you think people buy Mercedes and BMW, if it was always about just reliability in an ugly package we would all be driving a Kia! Like it or not, we live in a world where everyone is looking for the next best device, if we didn't, most of your phone manufacturers would be out of business because customers would be content with the old brick phone as long as it was reliable!

D' Ali G, you must not have understood, of course consumers are supposed to pay their bill on time and in full, no one questions that, and nothing is free, what was being said was how much VZW was charging is among the highest in the industry! If you charge the most, for "the Best" service, you owe it to your customers to provide them with the best service, products and customers experience possible. Being good just isn't good enough anymore in this day and age, there's always someone striving to be better, quicker and and more advanced than the next guy.

It's great that you take so much pride in your company and that you have emersed yourself in their culture, but it might be wise to peek out into the general populous once in a while to see what everyone outside of the VZW family is thinking. I know VZW is involved with their manufacturers when they build a device, I think all we're asking is that they be a little forward thinking when producing a new phone, so it isn't old news the day it comes out.

Fact: Verizon invest over 1 Billion dollars every 90 days into the network. NO other carrier even comes close to that. Since 2000, $40 billion dollars has been put into building, expanding, upgrading and maintaining the network. So when you complain about Verizon being so expensive.... they aren't bank rolling your cash, they are putting it where it needs to go, the network. In the meantime... Verizon will try to keep up with new phones/technology by working with the manufactures.BTW, Lowest Churn in the industry... I doubt that the masses care about UI's and OBEX so I don't see how people say Verizon is Losing Customers. Check the figures... or Gary Forsee what it means to lose customers.

I agree that how much VZW charges us, we should have somethign cutting edge and reliable, but i guess technology doesn't work that way. I use to work for VZW about 3 years back when EVDO 1st launched, and people went nuts. But i agree VZW Shoudn't be trailing in phone technology. But granted that they use CDMA and lock down features for company profits does suck, i couldn't agree with you guys more. but at the same time, i agree with you how VZW doesn't always have the latest, but does have the greatest stuff though. most if it works great. When the voyager comes out, it will be compared to the Iphone because of the touchscreen and that is a benchmark the Iphone has set. but in no way is it made to compete against it. you have a mac smartphone VS regular phone with touchscreen. Im surprised that t-mobile out of all carriers was able to get the 6800 before VZW...

I went in search of a new phone last February. Loved the look of the HTC S710, sadly I am a Sprint customer so it didnt cut it, but wait...rumors of the HTC S720 for CDMA Networks...

Wated till August when news came that it was due out "soon" with Verizon...I was happy after waiting so long from the initial anouncement that they work "working" on one to it finally comeing out.

Its rumored release date came and went and it is still not out. Regardless of people wanting WM6 over 5 should it really take this long?

I never thought the Libra had the looks of the Vox, and now that the Volan is due out later this month I dont care anymore. Before they even get this older phone out its newer big brother will be out, THAT is the problem.

Testing and all that aside, they had plans for this phone at the begining of the year, your expecting me to believe that it takes this long to update the firmware and install a new OS and then mass produce them? Sorry, I wont buy it. I know things update and change, but the Libra has been out since the early summer in Canada and on Qwest, so VZW has no excuses.

I will get AT&T and the newer phone. I lose REV A, but oh well, I dont need that much speed on my phone. Same with 3g, where do I use the net on my phone usually? Where I can find hotspots, and from what I lost I gain in WiFi and GPS so good by CDMA and your old phones.
