ha, does apple have any kind of real security on their device? While this is funny, and kinda cool, it also demonstrates why this phone was rejected by VZW. Wheres the security protocols?!

This is not why the phone was rejected in fact... If you can remember VZW later wished they "hadn't" rejected the phone. Get the facts straight...

Mis-informed
Not to tout VZW's horn but they rejected the iPhone because of this very issue here .... SECURITY!!! Not to mention the fact that it doesn't do MMS messaging. Now what moron is going to pay over 500 bucks for a camera phone that doesn't send pics? No keyboard and corporate email support either?? And, oh, the many "bugs" with the model that made them have to recall a lot of em. And I have yet to hear anybody "complain" about the Voyager. As a matter of fact, for the person that mentioned the CNN clip, MSNBC and CNet.com actually touted the phone as one of the top five gadgets to get this holiday season. CNet even had a "round five" head-to-head comparison between the iPhone and the Voyager and the Voyager won. It was an Editors AND User's "Top Five" gadget. But if you like the iPhone, so be it. I don't want something that's "hackable". But for real folks... five measley seconds of video?? You gotta be kiddin' me. Even when hacked it still sucks.

have you even used the voyager? you can't say its a peace of crap until you use it. I have one, beautiful peace of work... I admit some more flexibility would be nice, as far as music players... but i can watch tv, surf the net, download music, download video, and yes watch youtube about 5 times faster than the iPhone... its EVDO - and you can't diss it without trying it

ps... you can't say vzw LOST anything when you have no clue... it was offered to vzw and they rejected it due to their inability to reach a mutual agreement (apple was demanding excessive control that would basically dip into VZW profits, for services apple didn't even provide (it is bad business to take money unfairly) - they are the largest network in the US based on profit and are actually a subsidiary of an international company, vodafone, which also owns altell wireless [two CDMA & EVDO networks in one = amazing (and fast) service]). you cant walk around saying false information, it makes you look dumb

doubtful - VZW has its own network and so does altell - they share considering they are both owned by vodafone so actually at&t may equal vzw's but that doesnt count for altells network making vzw's coverage and speed at least 50% better

Apple using Hackers
I think Apple is using hackers as free R&D and piggybacking on their findings so as to save $ on the research side and then rape their customers when they finally finish the product. Why do you think Apple has so many copyright lawsuits swinging their way? They use others technology, tweak it just a bit and try to claim it as their own.....then they jack up prices because they know you lemmings will buy into it. That is why the security is so low. Macs are touted as the most secure computers on the market.....why is the iPhone so different?

why would you need to hack the voyager? It already does everything better than the Iphone. It already sends video and does all the crap they hacking the iphone to make it do. The iphone is a piece of junk. VZW denied apple the Iphone, and I hate to tell you, we laughed our asses off at all the trouble it has had. It did very little to hurt our business. Infact, it helped raise awareness for pda's, and helped us in many regards. It took away from the weaker companies like sprint and tmobile. Very few VZW customers left to go get the iphone. Good try though.
