why would ANYONE use a WAP browser when Opera mini compresses the data, removes ad banners, has content folding (!!!) and is far faster too, making an 80k WAP browsed site only 3k on Opera mini.... your cell phone bill will thank you.

Its miniscule, but if pictures acompany that text ad, things could ad up for verizon customers.

And this, folks, is why they suck.

PAY FOR NO ADS! Its genius. Its like paying to be anonymous in the phone book.]]>Dec 27th 2006 7:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/27/verizon-to-sell-mobile-ads-service-still-not-free/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/27/verizon-to-sell-mobile-ads-service-still-not-free/
PEZ: Verizon is basically charging you to view ads, since you're using up minutes and paying whatever per-kilobyte rate they charge (is it $.002 or .002 cents per kilobyte? Hmmm...). Verizon receives data fees, charges for minutes if there's an overage, AND earns ad revenue. Brilliant!

I've decided to stop waiting for the end of term and have T-mobile send Verizon an FCC number porting request. They've pushed on us the VCast spamvertising, the Borg UI, the lack of Bluetooth, the Get It Now! media lock-in, and their sad lineup of yesteryear phones. Let's see how many subscribers VZW loses to this boneheaded money-grab.

Also, as this is a trial, customer reactions and feedback will be closely monitored.]]>Dec 28th 2006 7:34PM
