Trevor is honestly the msot annoying person I've ever seen post on this site. More annoying than the guy who was calling every phone an iphone: "this is a great new lg iphone dare" "this is a great new htc iphone diamond" Seriously Trevor, July 11th please cancel your VZW account and go get your 3G iPhone.

@Trevor Maybe it's NOT that we want the "real thing." Maybe we want something w/ more functionality w/ the added enjoyment of a touch screen, on a more stable and reliable network. I am too an LG Voyager owner and was in a pickle b/n dropping Verizon and getting an iPhone. But after playin' w/ friends' iPhones, I've realized there are alot of things that disappoint. & CHeap knockoffs? LOL. Most touch screen phones aren't being made to stand up against the iPhone, and it's ppl like you who's fault it is for comparing to it.

I had a WM way before the iPhone came out... and guess what it was a touch screen... WOW that is amazing isn't it. How did the manage to clone the iPhone before it even came out? And about the iPhone being amazing... My friend just got one and tried it out he said it was the crapiest phone he has used. Apart from the flashy UI the phone is a peice of crap. The thing freezes on him like crazy, heats up like a mother (and trust me burning hot phone in the summer... not that exciting), and has the worst battery life I have ever seen. The phone sucks so bad that my friend is returning it and going back to his old N73 with Symbian, which is probably a better OS for a mobile phone than Apple.

Exactly why I left AT&T and iPhone for Verizon and the Dare. I would love to get the Diamond or BB Thunder, but I just need a basic touchscreen phone. The Dare so far has exceeded my expectations. And I am so happy I can send MMS and take clear videos...something my iPhone made me miss.

Lmao, I had a PalmPilot from the 1990's. It had an Amazing touch screen, games, and a calendar! I can't believe I didn't buy an iPhone in the 90s, cause like it was the first touch screen thing to ever come out and like, I should be loyal to the company who made the first touch screen interface on the planett!!!!!! >>Sarcasm

The iphone wasn't named one of the best mobile divices of the 2007 for no reason.

LOL...LMAO. It's so funny to see all the Verizon employees hating on the iphone because they can't get one. Your like a chinese store with cheap knock-offs.

might want to check your facts on that. You indeed can sync with outlook, calander and to do lit. You can either love the I Phone or hate it but you should respect it. I think someone mentioned it earlier, if VZ had the phone it would be the greatest phone in the world. I think VZ's stragity back fired. I think the first year was rough for AT&T with the profit sharing of the unit and rates with Apple and VZ didn't want anything to do with that. I didn't blame them, I thought AT&T sold their soul to the devil. Deperate or not does it matter? But now in the second year with no profit sharing going to Apple fromthe phone and the price being right it will bring people in flocks. Even if the 3G network is subpar at the moment (works great when your on it).

you might want to check your facts. I am an iphone fan. i don't have one but it is a nice device. however, despite profit sharing with apple. first year of sales, second year of sales, it doesn't matter. the fact is, att/cingular actually netted fewer new customers after the launch of the iphone than during that same time the previous year. verizon added more new customers every quarter since the launch of the iphone verizon is adding more new customers than att and keeping more of their existing customers

For one... Verizon Employees, what? Secondly, what makes you think that we aren't able to get one? Verizon's service is more expensive and the Dare is the same price as the iPhone "3G", so I don't know what you're talking about. Finally, the Chinese store with the cheap knock offs has no relation to Verizon "Employees" hating on the iPhone. A Chinese store with cheap knockoffs does the community a favor by making clones and selling them for extremely reasonable prices because people can't afford the iPhone. I don't know what you're getting at here.

It's so funny how people take so much stuff personally. I am a VZW employee. I have friends with the iphone and I have had my fair share of devices. it's all personal opinion. Me, I wouldn't own one. Buisness functionality wise, iPhone is sub-par. Media wise its a great device. The nice thing that comes from stuff like this is there is always a company wanting to make something better. Who benefits from it. all of us. So people can hate, people can enjoy but in the end none of us really care how much of a hater you wanna be.

(Writer of comment 63) I didn't say I was a hater..., Check what comment I'm replying to. I found it offensive because he didn't know what he was talking about and he's being an ignorant idiot. Also, I found his comment about "Chinese stores" offensive, because he calls them "cheap knockoffs which they are in a sense, but they also try to implement their own ideas if possible and make it easier to get. A cheap knockoff is good when your income cannot afford luxuries.

I like the iphone, but I prefer windows mobile. Not everyone's jealous of it heh. My brother has an iphone, gonna trade for the 3g too, but I really like the touchflo interface and the slideout keyboard of the raphael/pro, as I didn't like the onscreen keyboards of the iphone.

YOU need to check your facts. Prior to the launch of the iPhone Verizon was adding customers at twice the rate as att and their chrn rate was almost half of ATT's. They were on pace to pass them within 3 quarters. Then came the launch of the iPhone and while Verizon's has still beat out ATT in churn and net adds, the numbers are VERY similar. It has been a HUGE turnaround for ATT getting the iPhone. If Verizon had landed it, they would have only increased their numbers, taken lots of defections from ATT and likely would have taken the title on Nation's largest carrier several quarters ago. As it stands ATT is closing the gap every quarter in those categories, and Verizon will not catch them in the forseeable future without any buyouts/mergers with other carriers.
