umm..sweet if u like it when vzw forces you to use THEIR 3g network..umm...perhaps NOT taking off Wifi would help save the consumer (s) like $30 a month or so ;-)

your right so when they need an email they can waste gas driving to a wifi spot..... my time and gas is worth more than a 1 a day.. thanks

I really don't know what you are reading, but it clearly ... CLEARLY .... says the Saga has WiFi.

i am a verizon customer and I agree with the other guy Verizon sucks..

then leave...chances are its cheaper for you to leave and pay the etf than to continue to pay every single month...so bounce!

verizon is for cry baby losers who want junk phones so leave the person to his/her choice....loser

hopefully they'll come out with a moderate silver or black color for this phone cause blue is not doing it for me...other than that, the phones awesome

it as wifi, thats cool! but ur still spending $30/mon on data so does it matter if it has it?!

Kind off, i am in college and inside the campus there is not signal so i cant get 3g. However there is WIFI on campus so i could get online

ugly, it would of been nice if it was in silver or an achual normal looking color.

8. (unregistered) posted on 14 Nov 2008, 15:32

Why does Verizon insist upon making some half-way decent phones just horrible by making them in a crappy color? Every other carrier gets the best choices for the color of the phones, and Verizon chooses to make theirs blue? There are great variations of silver/gold/black out there.. and we get blue ...

12. (unregistered) posted on 14 Nov 2008, 19:50

I bet they didn't want to make it silver or black becuase vzw didn't want it to remind anybody of the moto Q. Too many bad feelings for that phone across all markets that sell one.

Im so sick of the att turd burglers that cant read..write..or even compose there own opinion. Please take your head out of att/apples arse! Also Wifi is pointless..hence the reason it's on the iphone. The iphone needs wifi because apples 3g covers mmmm lets see 30% of usa (and thats being generous) when vzw's covers mmm 80%+! The proof is in the pudding and im not talkin about the puddin your packing fan boys!

whine, whine, whine, whine...... pathetic... QQ all of you. Flat out, the saga is a cool phone. It doesn't have the typical direction pad like normal phones, it uses the same kind of technology that laptop touchpads do. You can even turn a mouse function on. Perfect for those people who are upgrading to their first PDA and can't stant that there isn't a mouse. You would almost never need to use a stylus, even though it has that option for those already familiar with WinMo. Just b/c the color is blue, it shouldn't stop you from buying a phone. What if you didn't like black, or silver, or white? There are these very inexpensive things called sticker skins, or silicones cases if you want to change the color. Personally, I like the blue color, it is actually much darker in person, almost a navy blue. So grow the F*** up and stop crying about it. Your precious iGarbage device requires a data plan, too. Go cry about that.

yes iphone does but theres is worth having verizon is trash...I have been with them for ten years I know..Wish I could switch but over years I have put most of family and friends on verizon...so why dont you grow up little baby who takls big but it is easy on net be a man and let other people have their say..

lol, the "Igarbage" requires atleast a $25 data package your vzw smartphones, require atleast $30 data package, idiot. aww, you almost sounded smart for a sec.

24. (unregistered) posted on 19 Nov 2008, 00:48

what 25 dollar data package? the one they require is $30 dollars a month.

Wish it would have had a led flash and a different color. From what I see from the specs the battery life is better than my blackberry curve
