reply to #11 its not to insult customers,, these websites like phone arena and phone scoop,, are not 100% accurate,, plus vzw will never give advance notice of new releases,,, the only time it ever was done ,, was the release of the touchscreen phns,,, its always a method to the madness,, the reason we lead in customer svc every year,, and the most profitable the last 7 yrs straight,, AT&T only have more customers due the merge of cingular,, but vzw still has more contract customers.. they win by default due to prepay svc,,

The 29.99 data plan is NOT available on the 6900! The 5gb cap is also on the only other data plan out for the 6900, not just BBC ...

Well, if the $29 data plan is available for the XV6900, then why can't anyone get it added to their account with that phone? I can't, and I've talked to about 7-8 reps in the data department. Also, see the Verizon Press Releasehttp://news.vzw.com/news/2008/​04/pr2008-04-14b.html It only lists the SMT5800, XV6800, and Q9m can be used with the $29 data plan.

because the phone isnt scheduled to launch in ALL channels untill the 30th...which means that feature can not be added untill atleast the 30th...moron. i love how people think that just because one person misinformed them nobody must not know what theyre talking about.once again another idiot like yourself feels as though you know more about a company i work for than i do..find something better to do with your time rather then fight a losing battle

I work in a VZW store and have been playing w/ this thing for a couple days now. I think the touch is a very nice phone. There was no lag in my models OS. But you have to expect some sluggiishness, after all, it is a windows phone. I think it fits nice into our line up of high end phones. If you want something more practical get the 6800. Very stylish, w/ windows functionalty, and on a great network, i can appreacite it.

#44... i also work for verizon... and im just wondering, why do you say things like that? youre a horrible representation of the company. do you say that to customers when they walk into stores asking about that plan? and call them an idiot? chill out, dude. go take a few more trainings and remember youre representing the company when you come on here and post things saying that you work for VZW.

first of this is the internet "ryan" second of all you have no idea how i interact with my customer in the store or over the phone...what are you an ASO? check my numbers out before you try to come in here acting like you a better rep than i am. pardon me for taking offense when people feel like they know more than i do when it comes to my job. go back behind customer service and defill some fru's

No one has any idea what you are talking about except yourself and other VZW reps when you throw around jargon like that. You just come on here and think youre better than any other phone enthusiast on this site because you work for a company. I am a sales rep, and I never said I was better than you. I have no idea what your numbers are, and I have no idea what your name is even. I just think that when you come on here and say you work for VZW and then start calling people idiots and morons and basically saying youre better than anyone on this site, youre a terrible represntation of the company. You start calling people idiots because they thought one thing when in its actual another way, which in this case youre actually wrong, because the 29.99 Email and Web feature is NOT available on the 6900. It may be down the raod, but its not right now. Again, just rethink what youre saying when you come on here and represent the company in such a manner. Who is going to want to come to a VZW store when they just got called a moron, or even just read someone else getting called a moron, by one of the companys reps?

are you sure youre a sales rep...i mean last time i checked sales reps should know what theyre selling. and the mere fact of it is is that you dont. when im off the clock i represent myself PERIOD. if someones and idiot then theyre an idiot no matter who i work for. the 29.99 plan IS available for the 6900 you should talk to your regional data manager. oh and the way youre coming off i would say youre not exactly representing the company appropriately. nice job hypocrite

seriously the two of you bickering isnt exactly representing the company in the right manner. the 29.99 data plan will be available for the 6900 according to my data master. you both should chill out and stop trying to prove the other wrong.

Man am I glad I work for Alltel. Whenever you ladies are done, can we talk about how this phone fuctions, or the fact that there are many useful add-ons that allow you to stream youtube videos, etc. (No matter which carrier you use.)

at "so typical of verizon" The phone was released on the 16th exclusively on the internet and the rest of the market will be able to upgrade as of april 30.

Who the fuck interns at a cell phone company? This is not an Advocate or a Hospital.... I hate morons. Everyone is bitching about Verizon's version and I have used both Sprint's and Verizon's and there are very little differences. I DO LIKE Sprints Comm Manager better on their version and noticed a VERY TINY amount of chop when closing the touchflo. For the Verizon version: I like the color choice for the default theme much better. The red on black looks much better than sprint's yellow. I like the white because it looks "Mac-ish" but I like Sprint's black soft touch because black always looks nice and wears out less. For the comments about size, GPS, and rev a... THIS HAS NOT CHANGED!!!! How do you crucify Verizon for not changing this? Because we took longer to launch? Of COURSE we did! WE ALWAYS DO!!! You can download Alltels ROM which enables GPS and REV A for free. There are many links online for this so just shut up about it. I will admit that Verizon is a little slow with our phone line up and a little strict with our standard handsets feature sets, but we are exemplary with our customer service and reception.

Sorry, I am getting worked up from these peeps screaming about redundant things. ACIREP, please try not to compare your company to ours for the simple fact that a couple of posters were duking it out on this post. MR. BA up there ^ has no idea what he is saying. I never call consumers idiots; the fact is: I am a consumer as well and an idiot as well when shopping in other industries. Therefore I would be hypocritical to state that consumer are idiots. A Q for the alltel dude. How come when I look for stores in california, new york, etc I cannot find any on your site? Is it an error? Or do you have like 5 stores in the US? I was just curious what your footprint is like.
