these arnt released yet

all they did was announce the new models. judging by the phonescoop report they should all be out by xmas.

edit: motherfucker, its early. i read that wrong. otherwise as chino said its a solid BB.

Very solid BB, I have one now also…

Takes a little while to go from an 8703 keyboard to this one, but it’s great.

i will give you my money for the voyager the DAY it gets shipped to your store. please let me know. i need a new phone so bad

Sweet, I’m ready for a new phone at the end of November. How do you think the 8800 is going to stack against the enV?

Two completely different uses. Blackberry is email first, instant email. enV is kinda like a toy compared to a blackberry.

EnV has camera and stuff, 2 speakers and more buttons. Functionality tho, can’t beat the blackberry

Not the Blackberry, the VX8800 which second from the right. The one with two ‘screens’, one on top of the other.

enV is also f’in huge

and what did I tell you about the 8830 keyboard, it is really nice after a week or two

guys, remember the bb requires a data plan. a lot of people want the keyboard /email/html features without the extra cost.

the voyager has a full html browser.

it doesnt NEED to have a plan. but kinda pointless w/out it

blackberry’s NEED to have a plan. they cant be activated without it. its in the contract with RIM.

:gotme: must be just a verizon thing. thats not true for t-mobile and at&t

you mean you’re surprised at an instance of verizon putting restrictions on their phones to make more money? that’s like their main procedure for increasing revenue…

and howie, compared to GSM phones, moboost4u was correct.

Hmmm, funny, Cnet and PC Mag seem to agree with me too… not one LG phone in editors top picks or top rated products.

Im trying to rag on your products nor would have I if you posted in the vender forum but since you posted in ot im expressing my opinion.

[quote=“evolve,post:11,topic:36257"”]

im gonna go ahead and say you are incorrect on all points. but its ok.

:rx3:

Because opinions imply right or wrong answers usually right? I feel LG products are sub par to the industrys top prodicts in their respective classes.

Right… cause you know what your talking about.

Way to back up your argument… what are you 7 years old, or am I too newbish for you to give a few more keystrokes and be more descriptive.

i dont have the time, energy, nor motivation to argue with you.

Joe, sprint also does this with the Blackberry’s. i was under the impression the had the same kind of agreement with all the carriers offering their service, but i can be wrong from time to time :slight_smile: It’s not verizon putting restrictions on it, as I have understood its a service fee from RIM. The lowest tier data pack for a BB on VZW is $24.99/10mb.

After doing a bit of research, the BB’s REQUIRE a data plan of at least $24.99.month for 10 MB on VZW. As I stated.

On GSM carriers, there looks to be a simple workaround to not be paying this. however, you also dont get any of the features of the blackberry (email, internet, etc.). If you arent using these features, there are plenty of phones out there that do a better job without the hassle of data plans, no matter what carrier you use.

Verizon fails to deliver in the phone category.

[/quote]

I’m not saying their phones are the best, but I originally wasn’t referring to that, I edited my quote but lost it. However, if you want to talk about what the consumer looks for primarily in a phone : a phone that makes phone calls that works as many places as can be, well, then Verizon does not fail by any means.

That has been the only thing that keeps me buying a verizon phone the last few years, yes those are attractive looking phones but they usually lack features and convenience.

Explain to me what features are available (besides the obvious : GSM card swapping, 2 vid cameras in one phone for 2-way video chat not available in the US) with a GSM network that aren’t available on a non GSM network. Ohh, you don’t like the GUI navigation? Convenience? of what? Getting a workout when you have to raise and negotiate your phone around in your hand when looking for service to make a call? *see below

Their only good ones are windows mobile based (HTC ect.)

THAT statement was the statement I was referring to when I quoted you. You think the HTC is a good phone? Horrendous volume, sparse battery life, buggy Windows software. slow GUI = good phone? PS. before you start slandering me with “You don’t know what the fuck you are talking about” I had and still own one. You’ve obviously never really used a Blackberry either, because, those are total shit right? Their rock solid OS really sucks, and the fact that I could hear the conversation that I was having with the other person in a loud bar also blows monkey dick. Shit, I hate hearing the other person I talk to on the phone.

And what makes a “good phone” a good phone to you? just wondering.

Samsung/LG phones usually suck balls imho

IMHO, who the fuck cares how new and feature filled a phone is when it can’t make a phone call half the time?

A phone is just that first : a phone. Everything second. My e-mail is second. Check. Internet surfing is 3rd. Check. 3rd party apps like google maps, chat programs, RSA secure ID generator, Alarm clock, texas hold 'em, check.

Not all LG phone suck, you just don’t like them - if you want a shitty LG phone, pick the free one you get. What phone company do you like? I can pick a shitty phone made by them. I can pick lots of shitty phones made by them.

The reason why I didn’t want to give you any more to my answer is because I’ve said this about 1000 times before. Also, you pretty much have jack shit to back up anything you said either.

“IMO” doesn’t = something concrete to back up your statements.

And who said Cnet? LAFF.
