Rumors are rumors, but we have proof thanks to an internal Verizon Wireless document that the carrier will offer a few hot devices for the Holidays…

I was told I have to have a data plan with my treo. I don't want it. Was I lied to?

Yes. You were lied to, sort of. A lot of the prices quoted for smartphones include an 'advanced device credit' which is usually an extra $100 or so off the phone, when you get a data plan. So you could have gotten the treo without a data plan, but probably would have paid more for it.

there is no such thing as an "advance device credit" anymore. They stopped that like 8 months ago bub. pricing is what the 2 yr pricing is now, with MIR which is 70 on pda/bberrys. no more wierdo pricing, the ADC is already "included" in the 2 yr price now so its easier for everyone... which is why, if you pay attention, all pda's/bbs are cheaper than they were last year by the same amount.

My mistake. It's been a year since I priced phones. Regardless, you do not need a data plan on a treo.

As a sales rep that is the under handed way to do it but in all having a data plan and using greatly reduces the risk of a return.... all you have to show the customer is everything you CANT do without the data plan and then ask them why they are a paying for a phone you cant use

Or pay as you go. But that would be pointless. I AM SO SICK of people buying all these data devices and not using the phone for what it's intended for! Stop trying to get something jam-packed with a bunch of features you don't need and get something that's actually beneficial to you. If you want a data device,pay the extra 29.99 a month for the data plan!

Actually, I have been waiting for the omnia for a long time, and before I read this article, I thought about to give up to wait for it and to choose AT&T's suff. But, I think It's almost done. It's Oct 24th. I wish I'm gonna get it as fast as i can. I saw some interesting response about omnia in other article. There's someone mentioned about the releasing date unclearly, "omnia will be out by the end of october as per a verizon retention customer service rep" Hey guys~ How's ur opinion? I can't hardly wait. I already wait for a long time. If someone have a good information~ Let's Share~ I need a cell phone!!!!!!!!

THere source is a single VZW call center rep? Retention reps will say nearly anything to get a customer to stay, (seriously, you wouldnt belive the stuff i've seen call center reps comment), but i wouln't ever switch carriers just for a *cough*(I)*cough*phone. especially now that ATT's network is so BADLY overworked and cant keep up. At least stick around for a month, some VERRRRY interesting stuff coming out...

I'm a business customer and I talked to my rep since I got the Samsung I760 2 weeks before almost everyone hehehe, He did mention the release date for the storm is November 17 but the Omnia might be delayed a little. I will post as soon as I find out.

The Omnia and XV6850 are both on the smartphone plan, so I cannot get them. :( I'm stuck with only the u810, and it looks like a Gleam u700, which is cool :)

You are not required to add a data plan to Windows Mobile smartphones. Only Blackberries require a data plan for activation. Why wouldn't be able to get one of these?

'Bout time! How much for the Omnia? Doesn't matter...and I've already converted my DVDsto play on it. Merry Christmas to me!!!

aside from the usual bs and trash talk in these post, i work for vzw and have seen the i770 and the Omnia in person. Both of these devices worked exceptionally and the Omnia is a beautiful phone. The saga is alil big, thin, but long. The optical mouse on both phones was also a big plus that i think users will enjoy. And in these parts(central florida) verizon is the best go v-dub! oh and for me omnia>diamond, what do you guyz think?

Does the Omnia have Wi-Fi,or has it been gimped for Verizon? No Wi-Fi would be a little like taking a porshe and changing one tire to a 80mph rated tire. I'm on Verizon with the Samsung i730 (3 years old) with BT and Wi-Fi, so I wouldn't move to the Omnia if it had fewer features than my 3 year old phone.

I just want to make sure that if Verizon is gimping the Touch Pro by removing the touchflo UI and Wi-Fi, that it isn't doing the same to the Omnia. I'll pay more to have a non-gimped phone that has all the Omnia specs (except GSM of course, since Verizon isn't GSM).

They give the shitty name to the sexy phone. Might as well call it the Verizon Wireless XVzomfgbuythisphone12345678906850. Im mean the could at least stayed with touch pro or given it a nice name like fuze. Omnia for me.

We wouldn't do that, the sku would be too long.
