With the iPhone completely dominating cell phone news this week, it's easy to forget that other cell phones exist. Crave wonders why any manufacturer or service provider would see the PR benefit in making an announcement this week, but that hasn't stopped T-Mobile from unveiling its Hotspot @Home and Sprint from taking the wraps off its new LG Muziq phone.
But today Verizon Wireless revealed that it was hosting its own party to match the Apple and AT&T events on the iPhone launch day. In a press release, the carrier invites shoppers to test-drive "the leading wireless company with the most reliable voice and data network". Meow.
The carrier also invites shoppers to check out its selection of music cell phones, including the LG VX9400, which is on sale for $99.99. That's a good deal for a cool phone, but the keep in mind that the spiffy V Cast Mobile TV service (something the VX9400 supports) is available only in a few cities. Yet unlike the iPhone, the LG handset does offer 3G.
Buyers will also be able to download songs wirelessly at the stores from Verizon's V Cast Music service. As everyone knows, the iPhone will not support tune downloads over the air. But the best news is that customers will get a free Music Essentials kit, which normally sets you back $30. That's exceedingly generous of Verizon, considering the kit is needed to even sync a phone with a PC. We don't know why Verizon just doesn't give you the kit in the first place, but that another story.
So if you've decided you're too cool for the iPhone, or you refuse to leave Verizon for AT&T, you'll be pleased to know that Verizon has you covered. Verizon stores and kiosks will stay open until 9 p.m. And you can be sure these stores won't have a line. |

In a vain attempt to stop the churn of 1 million users to the iPhone before years end, Verizon is waiving activation fees untill July 9 at Circuit City locations.
As one reviewer said about the iPhone "You can use it right away, no manual needed" , although one is included. |

I have used ATT and Verizon for at least twenty years, concurrently. Let me assure you that ATT third rate. Verizon blows it away on a daily basis. FYI: The "new" ATT is not anything like the "old" ATT. |

Is the iPhone locked? If it isn't, why wouldn't any GSM - based phone/data system's SIM card work? I have a Blackberry 7100 that I don't use any more for various reasons, but mostly due to it's lousy reception. When I bought it, it came with T-Mobile service. After six months I got them to give me the code to unlock the phone so that I could use pay-as-you-go phone service in Europe (T-Mobile's roam charges overseas were outrageous - over a dollar a minute at that time as I recall while TIM (Telecom Italia Mobilare) charged less than US$0.30/min domestically). In an effort to get better coverage, I switched from T-Mobile to Cingular after my service contract period was up. All I had to do was remove the T-Moble SIM card and replace it with a Cingular card and Voila! I had a Cingular Blackberry. It was then that I found that it wasn't the service that had lousy coverage, it was the phone itself, so I went down to the Cingular store and found a tiny blister-packed 'Go-Phone' (Motorola V190) for $30. I popped my SIM card out of the Blackberry and into the Moto, and I've never looked back. The Blackberry now resides in a bureau drawer, and Moto gives me 4-bars here at home where the Blackberry barely gave one.
My point is that if GSM phones are unlocked, it looks as if you can use anybody's service (as long as they are GSM). |

So what your saying is the blood sucking verizon will continue to screw over there customers by forcing them to pay full price for half a phone. And if they do not feel it's crippled enough they will give you a free software upgrade to lock up anything they forgot about the first time...

I'm sure it is, but Cingular will unlock it after several months. T-Mobile has a similar policy. But both initially sell their phones SIM-locked. |
