you are a fat homo !!!! like you would sign upo 51.5 just becasue sprint has low stock doesnt mean that they are out of money or going to be bought out. They have plenty of cash flow to make it through a rough time not to mention there is a lot of transition that is taking place that may take some time to correct..... Oh and Not to mention Americas First and Only 4g network. Sprint will bounce out of this but you cock suckers Know everything about business......... Learn what the word economics means and get a college degree

The corporate exchange support costs more ($15 more per plan) on Verizon otherwise the cost for data on a blackberry is only $29.99 and the corporate discounts may be be different for Verizon and AT&T as well as the type of iphone because 3G data speed costs more than 2G

Corporate e-mail is $44.99, but if you don't need that it's $29.99. The Verizon Rep was trying to make extra money off you

So, I called my local Verizon Store last night, and I had asked them what time were they going to open and they told me at 7 am. So i woke up at 5:30 got ready left my house at 5 till 6 and got there in 15 mins. I was like wow it early, so i went across to Walmart Mc Donalds and bougt me some breakfast, then drove back. As soon as I reache the parking lot, there were already people walking out the door with the Storm! So i was like yay!, I went to open the doors, and of course they were locked. Then a rep came to the door to rescue me and opened the door, asked me "Do you have Verizon already?" and I said "Yes", so she let me in, I gave here my number, and they looked up the account. Then they told me that it was gona cost me $20 to do an upgrade in the store unless I did a new line of service. So I chose the latter. Mind you, that I already have 7 lines of Service with these vzw. Anyhoot, getting back to the juicy news... So the refered me to a sales person, (who did not know what was going on, in my opinion) to activate my phone, and 3 times I was told i have a new number cause each application in their system was freezing up. (People must have been buying plenty at 6:30am in hawaii, or elsewhere around the states) So finally i recieved a good number and I activated the line (I now have 8 lines, whoop-dee do for me!) But they did wave my actiavation fee, stuff. I took it home and started setting it up, and noticed that this phone does have alot of lag when it comes to processing things, but the touch screen itself was supurb. The clickable touch is a neat feature, but can be annoying sometimes when thats not what you really meant to do, or if your trying to place the cursor someplace to complete a webpage. Over all this device has a lot of good features and that is what is holding me to it, that with my current dare i cannot do. (ie. open attachments from emails, and have a syncing calendar with my pc thats on my mac) haha. go figure that one yea? no Iphone. sorry, not reliable enough in terms of wireless service, heck the power went down here for several hours, and they had no service. I am happy have the most reliable. Back to reality now. Ultimately I can become a customed to this new device as it will grow on me when i learn how to use it more. I have used blackberries in the past, and i have liked them also. Wanna here more? let me know. I'll write another story for you when I have it all set up. Thanks for reading (If you were reading this that is....) Have a Stormy Day! No punn intended (although its gonna storm over here in Hawai`i) at least thats what the weather says. But ok, so now im really going to go. buh bye 4 now! Happy Thanksgiving. :)

So you signed a new 2 yr contract to pay $9.99 extra a month to avoid the $20 upgrade fee?

Yea, it's brilliant people like this that buy the Storm, IDIOTS!!! Let's avoid a $20 upgrade fee by paying $240 plus tax over the course of the next 2 year agreement. WOW

Hey if you loved techno gadgets you could have saved money activating your new storm and then switched back to the old phone later when you wanted. 8 lines for 1 person sounds like a waste of $70/month not including taxes. Hmm.. I agree, not a bright move on your part. Or buy a phone and stick with it for 2 years.

Dang dude! Are you rich or something? 8 lines including a new BlackBerry Storm WOW! What do you pay a month if you don't mind me asking?! Your wireless bill must pay someones salary...don't terminate, someone will get laid off!

actually people, the 8 lines are include people from my family. two of them are mine, the dare and the storm. :) but my bills are avg $360 with tax right now. 5 on a 2100 Premium, and 3 on 550 loyalty. Its a mix and match sort of thing.
