> [@boxxa](#): > > About the Verizon thing, I do find it funny how instead of using the iPhone as a new level of phone technology and innovating beyond it to compete, they decide to try to prove it wrong and bash it. Verizon has no way to compete with the app store so their only option is to bash the iphone and hope people believe them. It would be a huge undertaking for Verizon, a phone company, to create their version of Apple’s app store. Apple already had the hosting, delivery, software developers, programming language (XCode) and operating system experience. All they had to do was tweak the itunes store, toss together an SDK for the iphone built around XCode, and they were in business. ---

^ pretty much I wonder if the appstore thing will bring on a lawsuit against ATT/Apple. I mean, no other phone company can come close to competing with that (maybe blackberry or other high end smart phones). Not too sure on the laws of fair business practices but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them at the explaining end of that one. ---

^ I really doubt it. There is nothing stopping Verizon from entering into a contract with Microsoft for an “Zune Phone” or something like it. Microsoft could then use their delivery system for windows updates, and slap together a phone SDK that was based on Visual Studio. It’s innovation, not unfair business practice. ---

very good point It’s actually surprising that M$ hasn’t upped the ante yet. But then again, their software is running on other people handsets opposed to their own hardware so unless they do what you said (zune phone), WM6 it is 😃 ---

You buy any Verizon phone and you are forced to use their Get It Now for apps. no other options. I get what you are saying tho. ---

The phone seems inspired by the Danger-designed Sidekick in its QWERTY keyboard, buttons layout and slide... First images (drawings) of a HTC Android based phone. Personally, I think the phone model is ugly. It looks like the bottom buttons are tipped up so its not a flat phone. ---

Has anyone upgraded to 2.0.2 and jailbroken it? I dont notice any fixes other than I haven’t had an app crash in a week. Contacts is still slow and hangs sometimes before you can scroll. I did notice that when I go into a data center and get no service, I get service when I come out faster. Seems better at finding a signal. I still want to try going from 3G to EDGE when on a call ---

I cant scroll or touch a letter for about 5-10 seconds. Also, if I want to add a contact, it hangs for about 10 seconds before it lets me touch the + sign. How many contacts do you have? ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > Has anyone upgraded to 2.0.2 and jailbroken it? I have, only problem I’ve noticed so far is (with pwntool) that it wont remember my wifi key, so had to keep re-entering it anytime the phone would go into sleep mode To fix it, had to SSH to the phone and set file permissions on a few files/folders to 777 ---

I was playing with it (and myself) last night and the quicktime player in the I phone is buggy as heel. Works OK from the portrait mode for a few minutes then the audio gets laggy. In landscape the bars and buttons seem to stop working too. Pretty cool tho. This has to be a huge traffic hit now. ---
