Oh, the Verizon Hub. You came to the market just a few years too late. There was a time when a VoIP device with instant messaging capabilities would have been welcomed into the kitchens everywhere but that time was 2006 and not 2009. Now, that market has primarily moved onto full featured smartphones and somewhat killing the need for a home base type device. And so the Hub is no more. Verizon has official canceled the product.
It’s been a slow death. The Hub was pulled from VZW stores a few months ago and went online only. It’s kind of hard to sell suck a device without actually seeing it. And the $200 price plus $35 a month service charge probably didn’t help. Maybe if the hardware was free and all it cost was $35, Verizon would probably have moved more units. But it doesn’t matter anymore. The Hub is done. RIP.
It’s kind of hard to sell suck?
Certain is to my wife.
I agree the potential was there a few years ago if it would have been cheaper.
This product was dead on arrival. Typical phone company culture of creating a proprietary product to lock in the conusmer for life. They just don’t get it.
seems to me they were competing with themselves
So, what do we do with the (now) boat anchor?
I might buy it from you. I need a touch screen for a patient in the hospital who is on a respirator and fingers are too swolen to hold a pencil to write. He can’t communicate with his family at all and I’m trying to find something he can type on so they can talk. Would your devise work for this and if so do you want to sell it? Thanks
They’re advertising it during Colts Patriots 11/15/09 right now >>>???
I just saw that too! WTF
I just saw an ad on NBC for it tonight. Is it back?
Ha! I think we all saw that commercial and ran to google it and see what’s going on. Maybe we should stick to the game, I feel a manning comeback on it’s way…
Ditto, I’m here because of a commercial I saw for the first time onm Sunday Nioght Football, Novermeber 15.
There is no way I am coming back against the patriots. They are too good.
Go Colts!
Just spoke with verizon wireless. Sounds like it is a manufacture issue and could be coming back. The product isn’t dead and is still being supported. However, it’s ’suspended’. We’ll see what happens in the near future.
