AT&T sues Verizon over 'there's a map for that' ads {Engadget Mobile}

Did you read the article you posted? Do you have a clue? Can't afford one? I will give you one for free. VZW refused to allow a premium SMS campaign to operate on its network. There was no censoring of text messages, they chose not to work with this Premium SMS provider. You know like the softcore porn pics available for your phone text xxxx to 55555. That is what they blocked. You have no clue how cell phones work right? VZW, ATT, Sprint and TMo can not turn up the signal or down the signal of an individuals cell phone. That is absolutely the funniest thing I have ever heard out of the conspiracy camp. They can cut the juice at a tower or turn sectors off, move antennas, etc. That affects everyone not one specific subscriber.
Why don't you and all the other's tell the truth. Most people here.
A. You work for a competitor.
B. You skipped your bill and went to a competitor.
C. You are a troll.
D. You are with a competitor and just like cheering for your team and jeering against the other.
E. Work for the company listed in the article and have their own corporate intentions for their posts.
HTC Touch Pro2 graces Verizon on September 11 {Engadget Mobile}

It is $199.99 after the $100 mail in rebate. $299.99 up front not $400. Reading comprehension ftw...

Sep 4th 2009 5:44PM Anyone want to eat crow that was predicting it would take months after sprint releases the device before vzw does. Or eat crow about locked gps, changed ui (its a smartphone duh), tech specs etc? Thought not this is engadget...
HTC Touch Pro2 for Sprint spotted in the wild, mid-June release? {Engadget Mobile}
May 19th 2009 9:42PM Yep, Verizon takes forever with most devices not made by LG or Samsung. The Omnia was great and a first over here for the CDMA version. Verizon has decent ties with RIM, but it is generally Samsung (I760 aside, and it was still bugged) and LG getting devices out fairly quickly on Verizon. LG seems to be moving over to GSM, I am kind of surprised that Palm chose Sprint just because of the future WiMax vs. LTE thing, but that is still going to be a few years down the road before 4g networks get implemented enough to truly have a customer base using them.

May 19th 2009 8:47PM No navigation pad = fail. I got an Omnia and the touch dpad is a pain. I guess at least you get the arror keys, but gaming looks to be horrid on this as well. I want a touch phone with the normal d-pad, I guess to get the bigger screens and stay in a "smaller" form factor this is what you got to live with. I hope WinMo7 includes some upgraded gaming. I still love surfing with Opera on a touch screen though. Should be a great phone for those who return their Pre's. Sorry Palm has sucked for so long I don't see them automatically turning it all around. Version 1.x devices are normally not that good in the mobile phone world.
Firmware roulette: Storm build 4.7.0.141 allegedly fails Verizon's testing {Engadget Mobile}

Who knows. Everyone here knows how to go to Crackberry and find roms. I got a winmo phone and love it. First thing I did was get a cooked rom. Advanced users are the minority of users though. Personally, I have seen RIM going down hill from the minute they started making pink phones. The curve was a good phone, but the Pearl, Storm, and Bold have all had there share of problems, and they are trending in the wrong direction. My WinMo phone is more stable than blackberry's at this point (i know how to run them, and they give me access to tools to run them effectively where Palm/IPhone/RIM does not). RIM used to make great phones when they were business focused. Not so much anymore.

May 12th 2009 12:57PM So replacing .75 with another buggy version of software is the answer?

May 12th 2009 12:56PM RIM makes the software, not VZW. RIM's CEO even commented on how people should start to expect buggy phones because they want them out as quickly as possible. Enjoy T-Mobile's craptastic network. They have great customer service because they have had to kiss butt the last 3 years to keep people who were wondering when they would ever get 3G.

May 12th 2009 12:53PM Verizon Wireless is ranked highly for customer satisfaction. It is no coincidence that they heavily test the software before releasing phones. RIM released a buggy phone. The storm has some nice qualities, but it has a major list of bugs. Fixing one bug and creating another means 1 million customer's get new issues with their storm. Go to crackberry if you want to run untested beta patches. Most of them are fine, some have bugs. Other carriers are more concerned with getting a product out first. It is a gamble that sours customers quickly. This is a site that draws people who are interested in leading edge tech, but you all know when you get buggy software you cry and complain and then make comments like "why don't they test this before releasing it..." You can't please everyone.
With that said I completely agree Verizon Wireless takes way too long with their phone/software testing. I understand why, but they have it at the extreme end of the spectrum.
