I second your suggestion. People want to see relevant and useful comments regarding the Phone Arena article, not about Verizon's service.

2MP camera? dang. Hope they didn't remove the accelerometer. I would like to officially ask Phonearena to check their visitor's IP addresses to see if the Verizon fanboys are actually employees or affliates of Verizon Wireless (and / or Verizon Communications). I smell something fishy.

And what if they are? I do not see a point to your comment.

#25, his point is that people want to see useful comments regarding the Phone Arena article, not about Verizon's service. In this instance, the article is about the Alltel Touch Diamond, not about Verizon!!! Alltel is not going to cripple the Touch Diamond, like Verizon is going to do, that is an example of a pertinent comment. I agree that Phone Arena should change their comments option and only allow people with valid e-mail addresses to comment. This will sway some of these irrelevant and useless comments.

you petty my man. the reason everyone hates verizon is because it does it best to please their customers. I think way to much, and thats why people complain all the time, people are spolied brats. I am with ATAt and very happy, but i know that verizon is good. If i was not under contract with atat I would swicth when the storm comes out. BB is one the best phones i every had regaurdless of carrier. this might be their best device. Can any one loan me money to break my 5 lines with atat?

Subscribing to AT&T was a mistake... and as such... you should literally pay for that mistake by breaking the contract and paying the ETF fee. All jokes aside though, if you like AT&T stick with them... at least you are aware you are on a half-baked network... but when your contract ends... use better judgement

I'm going to say verizon is a great co. who dose what they say and seem to do it right the first time. That aside I have been with alltel for 11 years and i'm vary happy with the service, although at times I may think that the phones could be better, Like this one. with regards the merg i for one am thinking about not staying with verizon for two reasons. 1. the biggist is that I will have to pay 30 or more dollars above and beyond what i already pay for the same service or never renew my contract so i can keep the same plan. (we all love our phones so i dont think that will happen.) 2. Verizon always has this sneeky way of forcing its coustomers to do what vzw wants. (most recent: the forced push to the new data plans witch means for things you may not use.) any way thats what i see when i look at the two companys. TCH

#21... learn correct grammar and spelling. You are embarassing yourself.

I'm kinda psyched about the Verizon merger, but I'd still rather get a Diamond while I'm with Alltel. Isn't the Verizon version supposed to be kinda handicapped?

Verizon bought Alltel for $28.1 Billion. $5 Billion for the company and $22 Bill to pay off their debts. http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-US&vid=38f6b655-6616-4f8d-9a78-bf5c2c110924 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I09TjMNoqow

Thanks for the info. Will the phone have the same specs as the Sprint version? I don't think Alltel would "cripple" the phone like Verizon will likely do.

honestly we dont know for sure yet i highly doubt it though because were testing the full version of the software that sprint has. I want to say we get the first version oct 19th but there have been some delays.

You are now able to preorder this phone on the alltel website for Alltel! It has the accelorometer* and 4 gigs of internal storage, just like Sprint! *sorry if I spelt that wrong.
