Congrats Verizon, you lost another customer! You expect me to pay more $$ for a device that has worse specs then the lower costing Sprint and AT&T models? Gotta be joking me. Off to AT&T or Sprint I go.

As expected, Verizon fanboys flock to defend their company. Synonym for Verizon fanboy: Tool Get a life

No, I'm a business user who needs a smartphone for Outlook sync, downloading e-mail on the go, using the internet to check stock prices, and to use GPS navigation. If I really wanted a dumbphone, I'd buy one.

And I should add in that I travel on business to Europe and Japan quite often, so global roaming is needed. I used to rent a global phone from Verizon when I went overseas, but once I get my Fuze I won't have to.

ok this phone does all of that! like i said you have a laundry list of things you want youre phone to do YET youre not willing to pay for them. so if ATT and sprint has it for cheap then go to att and sprint. there's a reason why they offer their phones for so cheap, because they dont invest nearly as much in their network, they dont have in-store technicians and most of all GSM phones cost a considerable amount LESS to produce than a CDMA version. Why do you think CDMA versions tend to be released after gsm model?

Rabid Verizon fanboys......... *sigh* I know it does all the features I listed. But AT&T's and Sprint's do them better for less. Seriously. Why don't you and your buddies get a life and do something other that prowling the internet trying to defend your company in every way possible? You can tell you've cornered a Verizon fanboy when you force them to use "the network" as a reason. Honestly if "the network" was that great I wouldn't be dropping calls on an i760 on Interstate 5 from LA to San Diego. It's not the phone. I've been through 3, and I still get the same results. Even when I'm at home, my phone only works on the ground level or outside.

Like anything with electronics, you get what you pay for bro. Any that whole biz about going to Europe for work doesn't make any sense when the phones mentioned in this article are capable of that, not to mention, why not just go for a BB Storm?

The Renown doesn't do what I need it to do, and I really like the TouchFLO 3D interface and the form factor of the Pro. This is coming from someone used to a i760. I'm not a fan of candybar smartphones. Seriously, just stop. I've made up my mind that I'm switching, and you're not going to change it.

He's switching and he's made up his mind. Obviously by reading what he's said he knows a good bit about cell phones and has probably looked at the Storm. Just give up.

Thanks. I've been trying to get that point across to him but obviously he can't learn through the thick head of his.

you are the reason why verizon fanboys get yelled at on websites. you argue, argue, argue, and go nowhere. i use verizon because it works for me. obviously at&t would work better for this person. just stop arguing, this is the reason why verizon fanboys are hated so much online. because most of them are morons like you.

i hate getting yelled at by people because my username is "vzwuser" and they assume i'm an ignorant moron like you and the rest of the dumb verizon fanboys that act like you.

Just if it makes you any happier, I just ordered my Fuze from AT&T's website. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Haha, reading your argument is funny. Glad I dumped Verizon when Sprint's Touch Pro came out. Great phone, love it, but the battery life is pretty bad. Anyway, have fun arguing with this guy.
