Hey Jon, (above post) that same company you just signed up with will do the same thing to you, if you want to change your plan also! Every company does that. Get a clue ! LOLOL. clever post. not! Ive heard Iphones are not tough either. dont drop it, or get it wet… or your out 200 dollars. I’ll stick with the free phone (the free nokia’s or lg’s) they work well, are reliable, and inexpensive to replace. I have a laptop computer, why do i need an iphone? An iphone compared to a laptop is like comparing a defiant mouse to a screaming bald eagle diving in for the kill. lol

Verizon screwed up big time.

I’m an old Verizon customer who just switched all 6 of my lines to the iPhone. Started with the wife and kids, and then I switched just to stay in the “family free call” group, and switched the business numbers as well. I would have stayed with them, but I asked Verizon to simply change my plan to fewer minutes since the wife and kids moved, but they insisted on a new 1 year contract just to change my plan. Talk about stupidity. I wonder who’s doing their market research.

Verizon doesn’t have an answer to the iPhone. They can’t have an answer to the iPhone, because they feel compelled to install their feature-reduced OS on every single phone that passes through their hands.

The only imaginable thing they could do that would impress anybody would be to allow all CDMA-enabled handsets to be used on their network, in addition to allowing people to decide whether they wanted to use Verizon’s OS or the standard OS that comes equipped on the phone.

I would pay an extra $20 to be able to ignore GIN, use the phone as the manufacturers meant, download shit, etc.

I’m sure they have an ‘answer’ … the question is whether it’s any good or not. The Zune could be construed as a MSFT ‘answer’ to the iPod, too, and that didn’t work out so well. I think that a few answers down the road we could start to see some good competition and innovation.

My dream: Verizon is teaming up with telecoms in Japan and Korea to first bring to america, and then massively subsidize, lightyears-in-the-future wireless technology.

Please?

I think the iPhone will be the most over-rated piece of rubbish that hit the market in this year or next. What a joke….
