If they were smart, they wouldve had it for the Dare 1st. or just come wth a HOT new phone. I mean like the Voyager days are pretty much over, they arent the hottest thing anymore. A Voyager 2 woulda been a good idea also or release dis with Lg Prada.

The Dare is VZW's version of the Prada. and it will eventually bbe available for all phones, but the manufacturers have to create new firmware for the phones before it is available. As soon as they have release the updates VZW will release them.

but its not considered a firmware update she told me...she said it should have just been an "over the air" application download, she told me to go to a vz store because they can manually do it there

The new firmware is supposed to include drag & drop icons (like the LG Dare), copy & paste, a drawing pad, and of course visual voicemail.

# 20 u-r a liar. AT&T kickin' Ass, they gained more customers than any other providers including ur vzw. That's 1 of the reason they went and bought alltell. Pressure is too much for them and I hope they can pay part of their debts 12 billion dollars revenue they got. VZW FAN BOYS!!!

#24 Read and understand the comment before you reply! VZW gained 1.5M customers during the second quarter 2008 and AT&T gained 1.2M customers. Thus VZW gained more customers, despite AT&T releasing the IPhone 3G

#24, I think its funny how you mock Verizon buying Alltel. I once remember two smaller companies dwarfed by Verizons customer base. These companies were called Cingular and AT&T. Cingular bought AT&T which made it the largest carrier. Cingular bought AT&T with around 23 million customer to make it the largest. Verizon only had to buy out a company with 13 million to reclaim victory with an excesse of around 8 million to play with. That tells me that Verizon simply did more hard work than AT&T/Cingular. I am not saying AT&T is a bad company by any means. I used to work for them. But there was a reason I went to Verizon. Its called integrity. The fact that Verizon is apparently in debt is due to them investing an extraordinary amount of money into there network and customer service. A company like that will only continue to grow and prosper. Now back to the Visual Voicemail since this IS about that. I think it would have been a great idea to launch it on the Dare first and then other phones later. It would have really helped them sell more Dares until the next big device came out.

I still don't know why AT&T and Cingular merged, but I'm pretty sure that the reason why Verizon bought alltel has something to do with AT&T and/or iPhone

The iPhone 3g just came about about 2 weeks ago. I doubt that the results are very conclusive because the last iPhone sold 6 million and this is expected to sell to sell about 10 million when they have currently sold about two million if I'm guessing correctly (I might be wrong so I don't want any crazy apple or Verizon fans shouting at me). Plus I doubt that everyone who planned on buying a 3g already did considering how AT&T is always running out. So don't get too excited just yet #26.

nothing to do with either apple or iphone. by buying alltell, we are basically buying their towers, and in the process saving over 1 billion a year in roaming agreements between the 2 companies. ATT/Cingular was 2 desperate companies trying to survive, Verizon / Alltell is one well built company just making a smart move to cut costs further.

If I remember correctly, AT&T and Cingular were two very prominent carriers. They surely had more customers than alltel so I don't understand how AT&T/Cingular could be more desperate than alltel. And why would the roaming agreements be so expensive when sharing towers is mutually beneficial to both carriers? I'm asking these questions because you say "we" so I'm guessing you work with Verizon.

For most of its exsistence the IPhone was a overhyped/overpriced piece of garbadge, but now...even if you only bought it for basic cell service and an MP3 player 199/299 for 8/16 GB is pretty good. Just don't use it without an internet plan. =)

Just a little add to cutomer base and profitability........ VZW is still a privately held company....
